HENRY BROWN

A relentless action thriller from bestselling author Henry Brown."You can take a man out of special operations, but you cant take SpecOps out of the man." Thats a cliche you might hear in elite military circles. It has many connotations--among them is the idea is that operators have become members of an unofficial brotherhood which lasts a lifetime, including civilian life.Years after the covert Sudan mission that forged just such a brotherhood among "Roccos Retreads," Tommy Scarred Wolfs biological family falls into a predicament so severe that its going to require the combined skills of his adopted SpecOps family to give him even a punchers chance to rescue them.Older and slower, but no less loyal to their warrior-brother, the Retreads answer the call: Former SEAL commander Dwight "Rocco" Cavarra; Delta Force veteran Jake McCallum; and unflapable sniper Leon Campbell. Joining the team are Tommys son, Gunther, and Tommys old buddy from Special Forces, Josh Rennenkampf.Arrayed against the Retreads are modern day pirates, human traffickers, and a secret black ops team of killers orchestrating nasty (and deadly) surprises in the shadows. Theres something far more sinister than just "white slavery" going on here, and its about to ram these men through a crucible which will test their mettle...as well as their loyalty to each other.Whether in military fiction like Hell and Gone, or pulp throwback mens adventure like Tier Zero, the Retreads bring smoke and take names.

The Retreads Series turns the corner from military thriller to apocalyptic fiction with this third no-holds-barred paramilitary adventure."If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel AdamsA perfect storm is bearing down on the United States of America, combining nationwide financial devastation, conventional and nuclear terror, and military catastrophe.Diverse Americans are living their lives the best they can during twilights last gleaming--most of them never suspecting the turmoil about to come crashing down all around them. Others see the storm approaching, but dont know what, ifanything, can be done to avoid it.Joshua Rennenkampf loves his country, but prepares for an economic collapse he believes inevitable. Dwight Cavarra is horrified by what looks like an impending race war, but speaking reason into the pressure cooker of irrational hatred might as well be punching at the wind. Tommy Scarred Wolf pushes back against the fundamental transformation from Rule of Law to a Strong Man police state, but can only accomplish so much by himself.Rennenkampf discovers evidence of what might be a false flag attack in the making. Cavarra is tipped off about a secret hit list of "potential domestic terrorists," through which he and his friends are targeted. Scarred Wolf has already lost his brother for the sin of poking his nose into government Black Ops; and now must decide whether a little more temporary tranquility for his family is worth the shock and awe to be wrought on the entire country if he fails to take action.With harbingers of civil war and any number of other national cataclysms brewing, there will be no averting disaster if the false flag conspiracy turns out to be true. These men who have put their lives on the line for their country, so many times already, now have little choice but to treat the threat as real. And in the tumultuous political climate, their lives, fortunes and sacred honor will all be at risk.False Flag blazes a fiery trail where other political books fear to tread.

Nick Polgar leads a double life. At his day job in Big Tech, he is a mild-mannered NPC who obediently regurgitates all the Current Year Cultural Marxist talking points. Out on the streets, where the ideological culture war flares hot, he is Hockey Man--a skilled brawler armored for modern melee combat, wielding a hockey stick.His fistic exploits have earned him infamy on social media; but also a growing army of fellow marauders, fighting back against the RevComs (Revolutionary Communists) who are hell-bent on suppressing dissent and quashing any challenge to The Narrative.Hockey Man just knows the RevComs will inevitably disrupt the demonstration against hate crime hoaxes downtown; and his Enforcers are ready to rumble. But in the fog of battle, they may be plunging a little too deep into enemy turf.

Pete Bedauern began his life as a latchkey kid in a run-down trailer park with a single mom, living on stale hot dog buns and bleak prospects. Those were the cards Fate had dealt him, and Pete was on his way to becoming an angry young man. Then Petes estranged uncle burst on the scene to punch Fate in the mouth. Uncle Si is scarred inside and out; hes a hard drinker; painfully blunt; a little mysterious and maybe even scary, but takes an interest in his nephew that Petes father never took. Most of Uncle Sis life is a secret, but through the part of it he shares, Pete undergoes a master course on life, love, and full-contact sports.As it turns out, Uncle Si not only has tons of money, multiple businesses, and a fleet of fast cars, he also owns a time machine. Paradox is one good-hearted-but-alienated boys odyssey into manhood through time and space, and Escaping Fate is the opening leg of that journey. Before its complete, Pete will learn the guarded secrets of history, take on a pan-continuum conspiracy, contend for a world championship, crack the code for success with women...and even save the world. Well, one world, maybe...

Rescued from the dimension-hopping death squad that "erased" his biological family, Pete is now in a sort of cross-continuum witness protection program. Uncle Si gives him a new home in a peaceful neighborhood, a new life in the blissful postwar period, a new, affluent family that cares about him, and a new identity: Ike Jaeger, on an alternate path to a future that was impossible from Pete Bedauerns native decade and circumstances. But even at these idyllic time-space coordinates, there are challenges. Acquiring a girlfriend is a lot easier than keeping a girlfriend, for instance. A strong arm for throwing footballs is not as important as the leadership required to be a great quarterback. No matter how pleasant the environment, there will always be bullies. You have to lose some fights while learning to be a winner. And one little coding error in a warp interfaces software can transport you to a future even worse than the leftist hellhole you escaped from. Paradox is much more than a time-traveling rags-to-riches adventure. Its an odyssey into manhood for a hard-luck boy who is reborn with the chance to re-write his own destiny. In Rebooting Fate, that boy becomes a young man blazing a trail toward ambitions he never dared entertain before.

Ike Jaeger has made it to college, earning a degree he may put to use colonizing Planet Valhalla, or designing a warp generator that will revolutionize time-space jumps. But hes not going to let academics distract him from whats most important: playing football, racing hot rods, and chasing girls. Handpicked by Coach Stauchel, Ike steps into the limelight as the starting quarterback for the Yosemite Pumas. With the weight of the teams aspirations on his shoulders, leading them to victory outweighs maintaining a low profile. Scholarly pursuits may fail to interfere with gridiron glory, but unforeseen misadventures just might: a wrong turn into a postapocalyptic future, an ill-fated obsession with fighting in World War Two, and encounters with an array of vivacious vixens. Will the clairvoyant African prophetess in 1960 Sierra Leone capture his heart? What about the glamorous Hollywood hopeful in 1942, or the vampish proto-woke professor teaching his political science class at Yosemite Polytechnic? Ike escaped his own dystopian destiny, but Fate is a vindictive mistress, hell-bent on dragging him back into her cruel clutches. Will she gain revenge with a blind-side cheap shot by a hulking defensive lineman, by using communist occupational forces to blow his antique fighter-bomber out of the sky, or by exposing Ike to pan-continuum assassins as a time-traveling fugitive from an alternate reality? Paradox is more than an exhilarating tale of time-travel and triumph; its a saga of a young mans extraordinary journey from the cusp of adulthood to the pinnacle of his potential. In Defying Fate, Ike blazes his own trail to manhood, and perhaps even greatness, against all odds. Join him on this epic adventure, where the boundaries of time, love, and destiny blur, coalescing into an odyssey that truly transcends the imaginable.

When a bloodthirsty jihadist is given a nuclear weapon and a chance to forever alienate Israel from American support, all hope rides on thirteen expendable SpecOps veterans almost as insane as the suicidal plan theyre given to stop him.This rag-tag gang of has-beens has never worked together before, but Dwight "Rocco" Cavarra has less than a week to train them and lead them on the hairiest operation of their lives. Its not bad enough that they have to plow through an African civil war, infiltrate a fortified terrorist encampment and steal a black market tactical nuke from a mob of fanatic sociopaths - there are Israeli wild cards in play: two death-dealing Mossad agents who dont necessarily share Cavarras agenda. When the mission is compromised before it has even started, Rocco and his Retreads are caught between bloodthirsty local warlords and the genocidal government in a fight to the death. And this battle might be just the first in the next world war.

El siglo XIX estuvo caracterizado por la llamada Revolución Industrial, lo que llevó aparejada una serie de inventos a cual más beneficioso para el progreso de la humanidad. Sin embargo, tal vez el invento progresista de mayor importancia fue el de las locomotoras a vapor, capaces de arrastrar largos convoyes, lo que contribuyo eficazmente al intercambio rapido de mercancias, asi como a un muy mejorado transporte de viajeros

Ike Jaeger has finally arrived. After a coaching shakeup, he emerges atop the new player roster to see if he has what it takes to make his mark in professional football. But its going to take more than a strong arm and a keen mind to quarterback a penalty-plagued expansion team into the elite of the league--especially with all the detours from that unlikely ascension. Navigating the psychedelic Summer of Love is just one of the challenges he must face. Ex-girlfriends catch up to him in the strangest places, suspicious that hes not just moving through time in a linear fashion like everyone else. He undertakes a foolhardy attempt to single-handedly rescue best buddy Brock "Bull" Dozier from the Vietcong, as well as a skip-tracing mission into a parallel timestream to locate a high-value intelligence asset. All this while romancing Vivian, the mysterious and beautiful temporal spy who has been shadowing him ever since the JFK assassination. Oh yeah--lets not forget the no-holds-barred street brawl with a time traveling death squad in 1914 Sarajevo. While Ike is cracking the code to football greatness, he discovers an internecine cold war between pan-continuum international conspiracies that will determine whether mankind can ever be free, or forever ruled by an ancient bloodthirsty cabal. And he wants to be right on the front lines when that cold war flares hot.

1640 pages of adventure, romance, thrills, football, conspiracy and time travel!The entire Paradox series is digitally consolidated into one exciting, bargain-priced experience.What danger is posed by a latchkey trailer park kid living on stale hotdog buns and pipe dreams of gridiron glory? Thats just what hed like to know, after barely escaping a nigh-invisible death squad that bursts through a dimensional portal with guns blazing.His initial survival is thanks to his time-traveling Uncle Simon, who places him in a makeshift cross-continuum witness protection program, with a new home, a new family, and a new identity. Ike Jaeger now has a chance at a good life, in an America thats still exceptional--not one fundamentally transforming into a third world socialist police state.Ike Jaeger is content to live a normal, low-key life immersed in vintage Americana...chasing girls, building hot rods, street racing and playing football. Well...as normal as life can be when it includes accidental detours into a post-apocalyptic future, extraterrestrial battles with prehistoric monsters, and aerial dogfights with Communist Chinese drones. Nevertheless, Uncle Si is sometimes available to help Ike navigate both through space-time death traps and the slightly less dangerous journey to manhood.As Ike matures from a pre-teen to a man in his prime, he must navigate a treacherous course fraught with pitfalls while mastering life, love, and full-contact sports.But the attempt on Ikes life was no fluke. A pan-continuum conspiracy has targeted him for "erasure." To save himself, he may just have to save the world, first.Well, one world, anyway.

Ike Jaeger blazes through his senior year surrounded with opportunities. With two Bowl championships under his belt, hes earned the interest of a professional football team. The US involvement in Vietnam is escalating, opening up a commission and even fighter pilot slots. His talent for engineering is earning him respect among the scientists on Planet Valhalla and elsewhere. Theres no shortage of beautiful wife material, either. He cant quite get over the JFK assassination, though. The official narrative is ludicrous, and he wont accept it. Finding the truth behind the murder plot draws him down a rabbit hole that leads him through a whirlwind tour of history that exposes it as just one part of an international conspiracy that might turn out to be timeless. In Provoking Fate, the Paradox series becomes a roller coaster ride fraught with epiphany, danger, and personal tragedy, flinging Ike toward a secret war that transcends multiple realities and the dimensions in between.

Ike Jaeger has quarterbacked his team to a world championship, and now its time to party like its 1969. Then he gets a call from Coach Grant. In all the euphoria, he forgot that they would have one more game to play--against the champions from that other league. That other league with the big money, the big, fast players, the mysterious formations and the sophisticated playbooks. Bad omens begin stacking up as they arrive in New Orleans for the showdown. Even Mother Nature is seemingly stacked against them. And to make matters worse, the coaching office has ordered game film of the wrong team! If only Ikes problems were solely on the football field. A secret war wages across the space-time continuum, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Uncle Si and the Tajna Savet finally launch their "storm" against the pan-continuum cabal that has been stalking Ike since they erased his biological family, but the distinction between "black hats" and "white hats" is blurred as Ike is caught in the crossfire. Mysteries plaguing him since boyhood will finally be solved, but not before Ike is tested to the very limits of his sanity. In the midst of all this, Ike begins to realize he should probably settle down with the one woman in his life who has remained incorruptible. That decision is made just in time for her to give up on waiting for him and explore her romantic options. Shes worth fighting for, but, ironically for a time traveler, he may have finally run out of time.
