Jimmy Stu Lives! coverNEW SCI-FI FUTURISTIC TALE OF ADVENTURE AND POLITICAL INTRIGUE NOW IN EBOOK AND SOON IN PRINT

JIMMY STU LIVES! by Kent McDaniel

Jimmy Stu Sloan has lost his faith. He's a pastor facing old age and eventual death, trying to hold things together for the sake of his burgeoning congregation, The Church of the Living Lord. Inspiration strikes on Easter Sunday morning, just as he's about to give his televised sermon. And, instead of speaking only of the resurrection of Christ, he makes a bid for his own resurrection in the future, vowing to move forward with plans for cryogenic preservation of his body. But when he awakens in the future to find himself young again and memories intact, he discovers not everyone's happy to see him back from the dead. In the hands of his second-in-command, his church has grown to become a political behemoth with more power than he thinks is right. Question is, will he live long enough to help change things back to the way they should be, with church and state remaining separate?

ASSASSINATION ANXIETY (THE MCKENZIE FILES - BOOK 2) by Barry K. Nelson

Humanity's war with the reptilian race called the Brelac continues. It doesn't help that the traitorous faction Vendetta is still working with the Brelac to bring down humanity's military government complex, the Protectorate. Colin McKenzie and two other Reploid clones captured by the Protectorate and reprogrammed to serve humanity have proven themselves invaluable in defeating Vendetta's traitorous Dr. Fenlow and his psionic-powered weaponry. After a Vendetta-backed assassination attempt on the Protectorate President, Colin, Diane, and Kelly - now commissioned as a special military team called the Silencers - find themselves investigating new and powerful weapons with psionic powers that make their own seem puny in comparison. Colin fears they are no match for this new threat against the Protectorate, but with the ever-encroaching Brelac, they have no choice except to fight. They are still humanity's best hope for survival.

Customer MAJOR TOMMY says, "The second book builds on the first, expanding on the characters and revealing more about their mysterious past. Lots of action in this character-driven story. Looking forward to the next one."
