Echoes of Olympus Mons
“Once they see you nowhere is safe.”
Mind’s Horizon
When the world froze over, the ice did more than just bring humanity to its knees. It awakened other things. Ancient things. Evil things.
Now Ira and her dysfunctional band of survivors have discovered a new shelter deep within the mountains.
Even in a world covered in ice, the greatest threat is still watching, still waiting.
Special Acknowledgments
This book was a journey. Let me tell you. Now, normally I don’t wax on about how passionate I am about the books I write, but this one is an exception. In this thing, you’ll find most of the things that I love about fiction, and it’s absolutely insane to think about how it was conceived one painful night when I was just thirteen years old. Over the last 18 years, there have been many versions of this story. It went from being a means of escape from my trauma, a power fantasy, to an emotionally charged tale about a man who wanted to change the uncaring, unfeeling world that he inhabits. Looking beyond the intense fight scenes, the cosmic entities, and the alien vistas and bombastic fun of Kurt’s evil journey to destroy the world, that’s what it’s about.
I want to thank Phoenix especially, for being there (damn near literally) from day 1. Without you, I’m not sure this thing would be half as good as it is. Can’t wait to see where we can take these characters in future books. Special thanks to Jessie, Kat, and Max for being the first super fan, and everyone else who joined the street team and helped spread the word about this thing.
