Electronic Novels

From New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole comes the first in a brand new series of stories set in a world very close to our own, and yet so very different. In the world of Homeland Security Services, the 1993 attack on the Twin Towers brought them down, killing over 60,000. In response, American ratified the Patriot Amendment to the Constitution and went to war with Al Qaeda. In 1996, terrorists attacked the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, wiping out the left wing of American politics and vaulting Newt Gingrich into the White House.

Miracle Dunn has just joined the elite Homeland Security Services. On her first day she catches two cases. The first is a seemingly simple murder of a drug company employee. The second is a twelve year old murder discovered because of the first; the resolution of which threatens the leadership of one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies.

The world of HSS is one filled with many secrets, and just as many ways of ferreting them out. For Miracle Dunn, the question is how far can someone go to protect people who truly have no clue as to how much danger is lurking out there.

“Michael A. Stackpole is incapable of writing a book that isn’t imaginative and intelligent.” — Stephen R. Donaldson

(This package includes both the Kindle and epub formats, for use with any ebook reader or reading software on any computer and all smart phones, tablets and suitable iPods.)

The Fiddleback Trilogy Omnibus collects the three novels by Michael A. Stackpole, written for Game Designers Workshop and their roleplaying gameDark Conspiracy. A Gathering Evil, Evil Ascending, and Evil Triumphant, were the first novels Mike wrote for someone other than FASA. They were intended to introduce the techno-horror game Dark Conspiracy, with the first book being written at the same time as the game was being developed. Loren Wiseman pulled elements from A Gathering Evil and incorporated them into the world of the game in an interesting instance of parallel development.

In A Gathering Evil Tycho Caine awakens in a body bag, on his way to being pieced out for parts. In escaping he’s brought into the organization run by a mysterious figure who calls himself Coyote. Coyote and his people are actively fighting to keep sociopathic creatures with semi-divine abilities from destroying the Earth. These Dark Lords are incredibly powerful and one in particular, Fiddleback, is intent on possessing the Earth.

As the series progresses through Evil Ascending and concludes in Evil Triumphant, Caine learns more about the Dark Lords and himself. He’s forced to enter into an alliance with Fiddleback to destroy Fiddleback’s rebellious protege, Pygmalion. The alliance itself poses a great threat to Earth, but cannot be avoided if Pygmalion’s evil is to be ended. And with more Dark Lords making their influence felt, the chances of preserving Earth shrink with every passing second.

The Fiddleback Trilogy is a set of three fast action, adventure novels full of combat and mystery, horror and conspiracies. This Omnibus package includes both the epub version of the Omnibus (suitable for the Nook, Sony Ereaders and the iPad) and the mobi format file which can be used on the Kindle. (Amazon’s pricing structure do not make it economically feasible for the book to be sold through Amazon.) The download file is a zip archive which must be unpacked before the books can be loaded on a device.

In Hero Years… I’m Dead is New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole’s first Digital-Original novel.

Twenty years ago someone stole him away from Capital City. Having been released from captivity he returns to find everything changed. The great heroes of his day, men who could move planets or tear apart criminal syndicates, have all retired. A new breed of hero has sprung up to deal with a perplexingly new brand of villain. It’s a world that makes no sense, and a world which, if he persists in playing the hero, will surely see him dead.

In Hero Years… I’m Dead mixes action, dark humor, satire and strong characters into a thrilling page-turner. It’s superheroes facing challenges both in costume and out, battling a cunning enemy bent on destroying all they have worked so hard to preserve.

The Deluxe Edition includes a long essay that delves into the inspiration for and the process of writing the novel. It provides a rare opportunity to look at the process of a novel coming together and seeing electronic print.

This product is provided in the epub format, suitable for use with the Nook, Sony Readers, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Adobe Digital editions (pretty much with anything that is not a Kindle.) The book is available on the Kindle through Amazon.

Tricknomancy collects all seven of the Trick Molloy stories into the novel-length story they were always meant to be. This collection includes If Vanity Doesn’t Kill Me and The Devil Within which have not been previously released or collected with these other stories: No Rest For The Wicked, Such A Nice Girl, Little Girl Lost, The Witch in Scarlet and ‘Til Death.

Tricknomancy tells the story of Patrick Molloy, a magick-using ex-cop who was busted off the force on trumped up bribery charges. He works as a bouncer in a Gentlemen’s Club, Club Flesh, where all the women use magick to conjure dollars out of the patrons’ pockets. His only true friend is the coroner; his family hates him with a passion, and the cop who busted him off the force is just itching to find a way to send him to jail.

Trick Molloy’s world is one in which magick-users are feared and hated. Televangelists make bank on casting them as the devil’s tools. Gangsters often use magick more readily than guns. Respectable magickers use their skills for seduction, robbery and murder. No one in power really cares about what befalls the criminal class, which leaves Trick Molloy as the one man smart enough to discover the truth, and tough enough to administer justice.

These seven stories, sold separately, would cost $18. This collection is a steal at $5.

The man he is sworn to protect is the man who butchered his family.

Justices—the select of the Talions, endowed with fearsome magick and lethal martial skills—roam the Shattered Empire, crushing the lawless and championing the oppressed. Their word is law and their judgment binding on highborn and low.

Nolan is a Justice born in what once was the free nation of Sinjaria. Orphaned in the war of conquest with the nation of Hamis, he traveled to far Talianna and secured the right to become a Justice. Now, years later, the Master of all Talions has a dangerous assignment for Nolan: he is to guard the life of the king who destroyed Sinjaria and slaughtered his family. Alone, Nolan ventures into the political maelstrom that is the court of Hamis to stop an assassin even his Masters think cannot be slain…

This book is in the epub format, suitable for use with Adobe Digital Editions, iTunes, Sony Readers, iBooks on the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. This edition will not work on the Amazon Kindle, but this book is available from the Kindle store.

A Legend Come To Life
Half a millennium ago Neil Elfward, a legendary human warrior, fought alongside his Elven friend Aarundel for the freedom of mankind against the tyranny of the sorcerous Reithrese empire. But Neal’s victory began a genocidal war that cost him dearly.

Now the future he hoped for is unraveling. Count Berengar has invited the lovely Genevera, Aarundel’s granddaughter, to join in a quest to bring stability to the land. Pressed to accomplish the impossible, Genevera suggests the unthinkable—raising Neal from the dead. But what is true in legend is not always true in reality. A hero from yesteryear may be a hero still, but is Neal the hero they want?

Once a Hero is a rousing adventure of mystery and magic, in the best tradition of Robert Jordan and David Eddings, by one of the most exciting and imaginative new voices in fantasy fiction.
