"This is the movie Con-Air in Space . . . as only Adam Cain can live it.
He's simply hitching a ride aboard a Unidor Prisoner Transport when everything goes to Hell.
Now it's Adam Cain against . . . everyone. Too bad for . . . everyone.
Adam Cain—AKA: The Human for Hire—has a simple assignment: Ride along with a starship full of hardened criminals being transferred to Tactori for disposition of their cases.
But when a group of prisoners decide to take matters into their own hands, it's left up to Adam and his new friend—Penny Jacobs—to save the day. Between hijacked starships, killer prisoners, and a new friend who likes to blow things up, Adam has his hands full in this one. It's the ultimate ride-along-gone-wrong story.
No wonder Adam Cain is the alien with an attitude.
This is a prime Adam Cain adventure, pitting The Human against a horde of deadly aliens . . . and much more, including flying dinosaurs on a death world. Wanna bet who comes out on top? Be careful. As with all T. R. Harris novels, nothing is as it seems until the final scene."
"My name is Alan Ashe, Third Sergeant, Fleet Marines, attached to CST-148 (Cyborg Support Team 148).
... I was born on Sept. 2, 2324, in Washington State, Earth.
... I died on Jan. 28, 2351, on the planet Insubri in the Pegasus Spur.
... I was reborn on Feb. 17, 2351, at the Combined Allied Hospital at Cygnus Station on the planet Manados.
When Alan Ashe died and his surviving brain was implanted into a combat cyborg, he didn't think much about it. After all, he'd worked with cyborgs for years and knew how they operated. Sure, he'd have no memories of his past life, but what could he do about it . . . he was dead!
But something wasn't right. Alan still had his memories—all of them—including those of his death. Not only that, but the way the techs were rebuilding him was . . . different.
What does all this mean, especially in light of the devastating turn of events happening in the Azincor/Human war? These questions—and more—will be answered in The Last Cyborg Series."
"He couldn't keep his secret forever . . .
The Human has finally been exposed as being the famous Adam Cain.
Now, everyone wants a piece of immortality.
Adam did what he had to do to save his friend Tidus, but in doing so, his secret leaked out. Instead of being known simply as The Human, he's been exposed as the famous Adam Cain, the person who died and was brought back to life by the mutants Panur and Lila. And now the knowledge has found its way to a mysterious secret sect of immortality worshippers who want Adam's secret for their own. And they'll do anything to get it . . . even if they have to kill Adam Cain in the process.
Now his friends Arieel, Galena, and Tidus, along with the A.I.s Beth and Davy, launch a desperate mission to save Adam . . . before it's too late. In the meantime, other forces are after Adam, now that his secret is out of the bag. It seems as if the whole galaxy is coming down on him. Oh well, just a typical day in the life of the Human for Hire.
More thrilling Adam Cain adventure, more acerbic wit, more non-stop action, and with all the twists and turns of a rollercoaster. The Human for Hire is back!"
"Humanity has always had a problem with the REVs. Now, all the fear and paranoia regarding these super men and women will come to a head.
REVs have been exiled from Earth, with the remaining few treated like criminals and required to wear armbands and tattoos, harkening back to another tragic time in the history of mankind. Zac Murphy and his REVs now live on the planet Crious, building a new homeworld of their own . . . if the humans will leave them alone.
But now the evil Seken race is heading for Earth, determined to destroy the planet as part of their black-and-white practice of war. Either you destroy them, or they will destroy you. There is no compromise, no surrender, no negotiated peace. And since the Seken civilization is thousands of years old, that means they have never lost a war.
Now, humanity once again looks to the REVs for protection against the alien threat. But the Seken, in their wisdom, have told the REVs they will not be harmed if they stay out of their conflict with Earth.
What will Zac and his REVs do? Will they let Earth stand alone against the savage Seken? Or will they once again come to the defense of the humans?"
"John Wick . . . in space
Vengeance on a galactic scale.
Normally, it doesn't take a lot to piss off Adam Cain (AKA: The Human). That's why 'Collateral Damage' is his middle name. But occasionally, something happens that pushes him over the edge. And in that case, there isn't a place in the galaxy where you're safe.
In I Am Entropy, Adam brings chaos to order, an order that never should have existed in the first place. All pretense of civility is gone. And now the damage isn't so much collateral as it is intentional. Worlds will crumble when Entropy knocks on the door.
This is the rawest Human For Hire book in the series, but still with the same humorous and sarcastic wit you've come to expect from a T. R. Harris novel. This is The Human doing vengeance as only a human can. No-holes-barred action on a galactic scale."
"Why do the simplest assignments . . . turn into the greatest disasters?
Adam Cain: 'Just my luck, I guess.'
All The Human had to do was turn over his latest bounty to the local authorities and collect his fee. But when it turns out that no one in the galaxy wants to take possession of the criminal, Adam is left with no choice but to transport him a quarter of the way across the galaxy, from the renegade planet Sinalus to Unidor Security's headquarters on Tactori.
The problem . . . it seems everybody and their brother are trying to stop him from completing his mission, both the good guys and the bad guys. What do they know that The Human doesn't?
The answer to that question keeps changing from each hostile planet Adam visits to the latest harrowing attack in space. And the truth is almost too much to believe, forcing an awkward alliance between captor and captive as they struggle to stay alive against impossible odds."
"The Terminator meets Dirty Harry . . .
Things are going to get wild . . .
In this latest installment of the Human for Hire saga. Adam Cain: Bounty Hunter, Mercenary, Bodyguard.
In his line of work, Adam makes a lot of enemies. The problem: Enemies have long memories. And when someone comes after Adam seeking revenge for his past deeds, things get a little dicey. The problem for Adam's enemies: They're going up against The Human. And because of that, Adam has only one question for them:
'Do you feel lucky? Well, do you, punk?'
That's right. Adam isn't your ordinary target, and now it's a game of back and forth between the hunter and the hunted, with the roles changing in rapid-fire succession.
So, hold on to your seats. This is going to be a wild ride."
"Speed meets The Taking of Pelham 123 . . .
In the latest Human for Hire whirlwind adventure.
This wasn't like Adam Cain—AKA: The Human for Hire. He wasn't supposed to be compassionate and caring. But for some reason, he'd taken the former Third-Generation Human John Martinez under his wing and was now determined to show him what the real Human race was all about. As a 3G, Martinez had been raised by the Klin to believe a completely false narrative about his native race. But having never been to Earth—and after only a few tragic encounters with other Humans—what was Martinez to believe?
And that was why Adam was taking Martinez to Earth . . . and aboard the luxurious space liner Starship Andromeda.
But of course, where Adam goes, trouble follows, and soon he and Martinez are ensnarled in a vast and deadly conspiracy that risks the lives of everyone aboard the Starship Andromeda, as well as every soul on Earth.
Get ready for more non-stop action and heroics from Adam Cain—the alien with an attitude. And the stakes have never been higher."
"'The alien known as The Human stands before this Tribunal having been found guilty of the crime of murder without circumstances. You shall be interned in the Malx Prison for a term no less than your natural, unnatural, or transformative life without the possibility of reconsideration or commutation. You have committed the most grievous crime on Noranen and shall now suffer the maximum consequences for such a heinous act.'
Adam Cain had had worse days, but at the moment, he couldn't remember when. And when the native judge slammed an oblong stone on the podium before him, signaling an end to the fifteen-minute trial and sentencing, Adam felt a tingle run down his spine. It was going to take all his skill, experience—and luck—to get out of this one. And his latest challenge was just beginning . . .
But Adam wasn't about to let the situation get the best of him. He had skills, skills which will be tested when he finds he's been placed in more of a zoo than a prison. All the inmates were aliens on the planet Noranen and serving life sentences. So why worry about their welfare? Let them sort it out amongst themselves. All the guards did was clean up the mess afterward. Unfortunately for the inmates, there was now a super being amongst them, a scrawny, pink-skinned creature known only as The Human. Let the alien ass-kicking commence!"
"What would you do if you knew there was another version of Humanity that was superior to you? Would you accept them into your society with open arms? Or would see them as a threat to your survival?
Originally, the REVs were created to save mankind from alien threats; chemically altered super warriors designed as the ultimate killing machines. But now that those threats are under control, what do you do with the growing population of supermen and -women who are constant reminders of your own frailty? And what if these 'ultimate killing machines' decided that they should be in charge?
Zac Murphy and Angus Price are the two most famous and formidable REVs in the Corps. Supermen in nearly every way, they are legends, both among the growing REV population, as well as the billions of normal Humans on Earth. And now they will be called upon to quell the festering tensions between normal Humans and the REVs. But then a new threat appears on the horizon, a threat that requires the REV—once again—to become the sharp end of the spear. Will the REVs answer the call? Why should they? They have very little in common with the rest of Humanity. And with the way they've been treated recently, who would blame them if they said no? Will this be the final splintering of the Human race, one that could lead to the demise of both branches of mankind?"
"The Transporter meets Mad Max . . .
In the latest Human for Hire adventure.
It started out as a simple weapons delivery to a planetary warlord. But when Adam Cain—AKA The Human—is asked to transport an innocuous-looking package back to the warlord's capital, things take a turn for the worse. Yeah, you know what happens: Adam looks in the package!
Now meet Siri, a sexy, feline-like mutant whose special powers have made her the target of the two most powerful warlords on the planet Ellios. Of course, Adam is intrigued by her, and soon the pair are racing across the planet in a desperate effort not only to save their own lives but also to put an end to a perpetual war that has killed millions of natives.
Adam never asked for any of this. He never does. But trouble just seems to follow him from adventure to adventure.
This is classic Adam Cain, AKA: The Human for Hire.
And as always, the bad guys learn too late that . . . you don't mess with the Humans."
"Eleven years ago, Army Ranger Jason King lost his job when the aliens came to Earth and outlawed war among nations. Now he makes a fairly decent living as the top real estate broker on the planet Sylox, the capital of the Galactic Union. His clients are primarily Humans coming to the planet to work at the huge Embassy Complex, and they find Earth-like housing—along with a little taste of home—in the sprawling Enclaves of Sylox.
Things are going pretty well for Jason, right up to the time his latest customers arrive from Earth—and that's when all hell breaks lose! Now Jason finds himself entangled in layer upon layer of deadly conspiracy involving a quasi-religious artifact whose theft is about to trigger a galactic war. The Earth has also become ensnared in this conspiracy, placing her squarely in the crosshairs of two vindictive alien species bent on her destruction.
Now all Jason King has to do is recover the artifact, capture the thief, prevent a galaxy-wide war, and save the Earth from annihilation. And do all this between his real estate closings. Oh . . . and there's also a super-hot woman right in the thick of things just to keep things interesting. And don't forget the headlong chases through exotic star systems, and the shoot-outs, and the fist-fights—all the good stuff that puts the adventure in space opera adventure!"
