"Cry, cry the world is gone Bone and ash and splintered rune. Who will weep for all that's lost Beneath the broken moon?" Five years after the Gods’ War shattered continents, boiled oceans, and ruined the skies, Addas Dashag - a half-breed outcast - is forced to guide an expedition of Dwarves, Men, and Orcs into a bitter and ravaged world. Their destination - far to the west where a remnant of Elves is rumored to be hiding in the ashes of a once-great forest. Battling cultists, cannibals, and creatures from other worlds, Addas leads the company across the wasteland as they scour old battlefields, sneak into cursed cities and magic-infested ruins searching for dark secrets lost in the war's final days. Haunted by his own past, Addas navigates the danger and devastation only to come face to face with a deeper threat - one from within. After all, who can you really trust when your own Gods have betrayed you? _____________ Broken Moon, Scorned Lands.

Author
My interest in books started when I was nine, the year my baby brother shoved a pretzel down into the back of the television set and my parents didn't bother to get it fixed. My first novel, "Running Black" was a 'put up or shut up' project during the 2008 recession. The sequel "Shift Tense" rolled out two years later. Since then, I've just kept writing. Other titles include the cyberpunk/technoir novella, 'Soul Cache', a Celtic-flavored ghost story, 'The Barrow Lover', three tales from the Exclusion Zone - 'A Prayer to Saint Strelok', 'Strange Treasure', and 'Gopnik Blues' - and a scattering of stand-alone near-future shorts. As a table top war game designer, I've written 'Zona Alfa' for Osprey Publishing, the upcoming 'When Nightmares Come', as well as several best selling indie games: 'Exploit Zero', its monster-hunting fantasy cousin, 'Nightwatch', and the alien-invasion 'Insurgent Earth.' Current projects include the post-apocalyptic fantasy 'Shattered Worlds' and a bit of dungeon crawl fiction, 'Five Torches'. I can be found online at Stalker7.com. A thousand thanks.
