Book Description
Yip Chi Chuan, a young martial and spiritual ascetic, must flee as the only home he has ever known, the ancient monastery of the Priests of K'un Lun, is destroyed by a newly ascendant extradimensional evil. Cast out and alone, Yip strikes out on a quest spanning the breadth of his home world of Ea'ae and into the greater macroverse beyond in an attempt to unseat an all-consuming Darkness rooted in his once vaunted order's distant past. Will Yip, the last of his kind to walk the wide world beyond his fallen sanctuary, succeed where his mighty brethren failed in ages past? Unfortunately for Yip, the answer appears all too clear... Without the guidance and teachings of his lineage, pursued by malevolent supernatural agents of the Cabal, unable to fully defend himself in a world steeped in magic, his quest may fail before it ever begins. Unfazed by his limitations, guided by his inner vision and direct experience of the energies of life, the radiant chi suffusing and enlivening the world all around, he is determined to triumph where others have faltered. To win forward, he will need help...but first he must survive. A blend of Western fantasy and Eastern martial arts and mysticism, the Chronicles of the Fists is an epic trilogy recounting Yip's adventures against all odds.

The General helicopters in to stop them with the rest of the superhero unit of Flame, Amazon and Psy. But they are too late. Bolt's and Accel's actions have unleashed an unstoppable terrifying power, Subject Zero. But how can they set aside their differences and fight together? First in the superhero series of books featuring the mysterious Subject Zero. Other stories in the 'Wrong Place, Wrong Time' Science Fiction series #2 Halloween Party Sarah Hargreaves is walking through the emerging dawn streets after another night’s work, when she is bundled into the back of a van by six figures dressed in black. She is taken to an underground location, where she is interviewed by a smartly dressed woman and a man from a secret organisation. They have one question: ‘What really happened at the Halloween Party three weeks ago?’ Sarah is forced to retell the terrifying truth. She is an experienced member of Dark Watch, an organisation set up to eliminate the threat from the creatures of the night. On the hunt for a vampire cell, she and her new boyfriend get an invitation to a Halloween Party – the Vampire Special. She suspects that humans will be lulled to their deaths. What happens at the party surprises even her. #3 Wedding Anniversary Hiding in time a superhero, Subject Zero, enjoys the delights of the wild west; the women, the drink and the fighting. After another night of fun, Zero is alerted to the presence of another time traveller who has sought him out across time and space. The traveller is his wife he hasn’t seen for fifty years. She has come to remind him it's their Wedding Anniversary. They discuss old times together and make plans for a reconciliation in the future. Zero is happy, until a massive time disturbance breaks the peace and Zero and his wife are forced to reveal their true powers to the inhabitants of the wild west town. #4 Invaders Marines and special forces are defeated. Then werewolves and vampires are killed as well. An army of robots easily dispatched. Finally, the superhero unit of Accel, Bolt, Psy, Flame and Amazon are defeated and they trudge back through the hot desert skirting past bodies of the other fallen attackers and back to the army base. Alien invaders jeer them home and shout victoriously believing the Earth will soon be theirs. Earth has one last hope, a man called Subject Zero, else the Earth will be defeated and the alien invasion will begin. The problem is how do you convince Subject Zero to fight? Time and place for everything he would say. This isn’t his concern. keywords: sci-fi, science fiction, superhero, vampires , time travel
