A young man from Earth struggles to survive in a fantastical realm of blood, battles, and berserkers as the action-packed LitRPG series continues.
When young Victor Sandoval was snatched from his abuela ’s home and thrust into a brutal existence as a pit fighter in the land of Fanwath, it took a long time—and a heck of a lot of acquired skills and levels—to survive and become a formidable warrior with anger issues to spare. And now he seems to be right back at the bottom of the barrel.
Heaved through a portal while defeating a particularly obnoxious pyromancer, Victor and his companion, Valla, find themselves on a new planet populated by serpentines, insectoids, and giants so far beyond the pair in might and experience as to be nigh invulnerable. If the warriors are to withstand this dangerous realm, they’ll have to endure countless tribulations to build up their own strength.
Once again, Victor must hack and hew his way to victory in the arena for a devious warlord, while Valla must honor an unwanted duel against a seemingly unbeatable opponent. And both will have to score more kills, collect more treasure, and face more horrors beyond their wildest imagination if they ever hope to return to Fanwath . . .
From the author of the Victor of Tucson series comes the second installment of the action-packed, high-tech dystopian adventure begun with Electric Angel .
Juliet Bianchi was once just another working drone, struggling to survive in a world where megacorporations reigned, information was power, and that power was worth killing for. Then she stumbled upon a kidnapping gone wrong and ended up with a stolen AI chip that took her from the bottom of the barrel to a top-tier realm of mercs, freelancers, and assorted unsavory folk.
With a little help from her embedded AI, Angel, Juliet quickly proved herself as an operator in that adapting, overcoming obstacles, and kicking some serious ass. Now known as “January” to others in the caper biz, she’s still dealing with a betrayal that put her and her crew in danger—and emptied her coffers to boot. If she’s ever going to get out of Tucson (and maybe off-world), she’ll have to get back on the horse and start pulling some paying jobs.
When she’s hired to infiltrate Grave Industries, Juliet quickly discovers she may have to pay a price of her own. The job requires her to become an entirely different person in body and mind, and the deeper undercover she goes, the more she fears her new identity will control her life far longer than she’d like . . .

Once a scrap-wrangling nobody from Phoenix, Arizona, Juliet Bianchi’s life was forever changed when fate handed her a hyper-advanced AI chip that launched her into the arena of high-powered, high-stakes operators. To her surprise—and everyone else’s—she had a natural talent for cybernetic-enhanced mayhem and mercenary work.
Now, that work will take Juliet where she’s always wanted to off world. Unfortunately, the reason is that her faithful friend Honey and a child prodigy she was caring for have been kidnapped. All evidence points to their abductors heading somewhere near Saturn, but to get there, Juliet will have to endure a blast from the past.
Fortunately, joining the crew of a rundown salvage ship, she soon finds herself accepted by the ragtag squad, who appreciate her recently upgraded talents in both combat and tech. And where she’s going, both will be pushed to the limit. Because Juliet isn’t just rescuing her friend anymore. The future of humanity itself is in her hands . . .

Juliet Bianchi used to be a lowly scrap scrounger in Arizona. But when she was accidentally implanted with a beyond-awesome AI chip, her life changed dramatically—what with all the nanotechnology, bodywork, and other badass enhancements. Now she’s a high-powered weapon-for-hire in hiding as . . . what else? A not-so-lowly scrap scrounger!
When a new gig calls for her to climb aboard a swanky cruise ship on its way to Io, Juliet is more than happy to live the high life for a little while. And it gives her a chance to test out her latest upgrades, which just so happen to include telekinesis and mind-reading. Unfortunately, with great power comes some sort of responsibility.
Because when Juliet tries out her new mental mojo on a crowd of passengers, she picks up some unwanted intel. It seems there’s an assassin onboard who’s on their way to make a hit. Juliet will have to balance being a cold-blooded mercenary herself with stopping a fellow killer. And then things actually get complicated . . .

Fighting her way through the dark underbelly of civilization, Juliet Bianchi has become a top-tier mercenary with a heart of gold and a killer smile. A shadowy, high-priced operative embedded with high-tech AI, she goes by the moniker “Lucky,” and the life she once led as a metal scrapper seems eons behind her.
Now, armed with her very own formidable monoblade and fresh ink warning all others not to mess with her lest they become very dead, she’s taking a step away from business to handle something personal . . .
Not long ago, Juliet went to the wall for her former best friend, Ghoul, and her kin—only to end up betrayed in the worst way. She’s finally discovered where her old ally’s been hiding from both her and the dangerous war-devastated Earth.

Every hero must eventually face the fact that each victory only leads to another battle in this fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl.
As a young, powerless transplant from Earth, Victor Sandoval was destined for certain death in the slave pits on Fanwath. But he had other ideas—bigger, bolder, bloodier ideas. Now known as Lord Victor after a hard-fought campaign to claim the newly christened Free Marches, his legend grows beyond his own lifetime.
With yet another conquest, Victor must set order in his new realms, a task more daunting than battle with all it entails. But above all, he must somehow save his dear ally Edeya, whose spirit was stolen in the chaos of war. That alone will require Victor to level up not as a warrior but as a leader and politician. Because saving Edeya means portals to other worlds. And portals mean coming up with one hell of a lot of scratch. After all, working the System isn’t cheap.
The first step may prove the hardest, as Victor must visit the settlement founded by humans from another timeline—First Landing—to raise some much-needed Energy beads to power his colony stone and begin his quest. It’s a place where beings from all realms have since created a haven of freedom and light and where all are welcome. It’s also a place where certain sinister parties are trying to take control, suppress those they deem unworthy, and besmirch Victor’s awesome reputation. But soon, he’ll make them wish they were very, very far away . . .

Since being displaced from Earth, Victor has achieved more than any being could have dreamed.

But before Victor can ascend to even greater heights, his master needs him to visit yet another realm to save his long-lost kin. Unfortunately, simple defeat is no longer an option. It's either victory or death. Well, nobody ever got anywhere by being human all the time . . .

Unlikely hero Victor discovers the realm of Fanwath is even deadlier beneath the surface in the rollicking sequel to action-adventure fantasy Pit Fighter.
Suddenly transported to the land of Fanwath, Victor had a hard time adapting to a reality controlled by an omniscient “System” that rewarded strength, skill, and savagery with increased “Energy,” which was necessary if one wished to continue breathing. Then, after some truly surprising success as a gladiator-slave, the teenager ended up doomed to a life in the brutal mines along with a menagerie of fantastical beings possessing even worse luck than him.
But everything changes when Victor finds a way out—or rather, down. With the aid of a magical portal, he soon finds himself in a fabled subterranean dungeon-labyrinth, where his wits and combat prowess are the only things keeping him alive. OK, so he’s found a companion in the strangely alluring and witty Shadeni warrior-woman Thayla as well as an amulet housing a guiding spirit named Gorz. But even they won’t be able to help him now.
Because there are things lurking in the depths more deadly than Victor can possibly imagine. And if he ever does manage to escape the darkness, some very powerful—and vengeful—nobles will do anything to send him back underground. About six feet underground, to be precise . . .
A heroic young Earthling continues his adventures beyond the realm of the living in the thrilling third installment of this action-packed fantasy series.
Victor has seen better days. He just barely survived a savage showdown with the lethal warrior woman Rellia, which left her minus a foot and apparently cost him the life essence of his trusted magical axe, Lifedrinker. Then, much to Victor’s surprise, Rellia asks him to visit her. And she does so not as an enemy but as an honorable opponent who owes him for sparing her life. Rellia wishes Victor’s aid in claiming her family’s land stake in a dangerous far-off realm. In return, he’ll receive his own land and a place among the elite.
But first, Victor must become even more powerful than he already is. To that end, he ventures into the wilderness, battling foes of every conceivable stripe in both the mortal and the spiritual realms in a never-ending storm of blood, and eventually uncovers a shocking truth. It turns out, he didn’t simply stumble into the world of Fanwath. He was deliberately brought there by a cabal of magic users with their own sinister plans.
Now, Victor must find the cabal, learn why they stole his former life away from him—and make them seriously regret it . . .
The unlikely hero of Fanwath prepares to take things to a whole new level in the action-packed sixth installment of this thrilling fantasy adventure.
When he was first torn from his Earthly home, Victor Sandoval was as good as dead, alone and powerless in a reality where kills equal skills and losing a fight means losing your life. But he’s much more than who he used to be.
Now a warrior of near-legendary status and strength, Victor is leading his very own army into the Untamed Marches, where countless hordes of horrors await. This means more Energy and treasure for him and his allies when they go up against a slew of undead, reavers, and good old-fashioned bloody vampires.
And that’s the fun part. Because Victor is about to face an opponent who already claims the Marches as his Prince Hector of Heart Rot. And while his name may seem silly to Victor, the prince’s desire to slaughter him along with his entire army is about to become all too serious . . .

Enter a frighteningly familiar dystopian world with the first book of a new series from the author of Falling with Folded Wings and Victor of Tucson.
In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going.
Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn’t have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to—and she’s going to need it . . .
When Juliet stumbles upon what looks like a botched kidnapping, the victim dispatches his abductors and lives just long enough to give her a stolen AI chip. This gift soon transforms Juliet from a worker bee into a killer queen. Armed with far more power and skill than she can comprehend—let alone control—she finds herself drawn into a shadowy world where survival itself counts as victory.
Juliet has never been one to push people around. But when it comes to fighting the corrupt corporate overlords, she’s more than happy to push back.
From the author of Falling with Folded Wings comes a furious new fantasy series, in which a teenage, hard-case Earthling tries to earn some class . . .
Victor can’t wait to get the hell out of high school, go to the local community college on a sports scholarship, and start his own life. But that’s all put on hold when he enters his abuela’s house and somehow ends up stepping into a world unlike anything he’s ever known, filled with fantastical meta-humans; walking, talking devils; and other creatures one usually needs some serious pharmaceuticals to see.
Fanwath is no dream, though. In fact, it’s a nightmare. Sold into slavery as a pit fighter, Victor quickly learns his new home is controlled by the “System” and the only way to get ahead is to fight, kill, and collect the precious “Energy” that means the difference between a long life and an early grave. And according to his stats, Victor’s starting out at a solid zero.
Lucky for him, no one in this world has ever met his kind before—which means they have no idea what he’s really capable of. But they’re about to find out . . .
