What would Kurt Russell do?
British police detective Arthur Wallace asks himself that question a lot. Because Arthur is no hero. He’s a good cop, but prefers his action on the big screen. But when he sees tentacles sprouting from the neck of a fresh corpse, the secretive government agency MI37 come to recruit Arthur in its struggle against horrors from another dimension known as the Progeny. But Arthur is NO HERO! Can an everyman stand against sanity-ripping cosmic horrors?
“So funny I laughed out loud.”
CHARLAINE HARRIS
“a funny, dark, rip-roaring adventure with a lot of heart, highly recommended for urban fantasy and light science fiction readers alike.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“Impeccably written – literally unputdownable… Unarguably one of the best novels I’ve read so far this year.”
BARNESANDNOBLE.COM
“The book Lovecraft might have written if he had a sense of humor and watched too many Kurt Russell movies… Recommended.”
THE MAD HATTER BOOKSHELF AND REVIEW
“[An] overload of awesome. The story reads like a fever dream of action, in a good way.”

Another day. Another zombie T-Rex to put down. All part of the routine for Arthur Wallace and MI37—the government department devoted to battling threats magical, supernatural, extra-terrestrial, and generally odd. Except a zombie T-Rex is only the first of his problems… Before he can say, “But didn’t I save the world yesterday?” a new co-director at MI37 is threatening his job, middle-aged Russian cyborg wizards are threatening his life, and his co-workers are threatening his sanity.
“Give
Yesterday’s Hero
a well-deserved read, and think about what you would do when faced with a slavering dinosaur that figures your skull would make a tasty treat.”

When it rains it pours… monster machines. That attack during a funeral and ruin everyone’s day. MI317—the government department devoted to defending Britain from cosmic horrors—is under siege, so Arthur Wallace and his team must travel to Area 51, ably—and oddly—assisted by Agent Gran. But their travels don’t end there, not when there’s an Arctic town populated entirely by spore zombies and the 2.0 version of Clyde has some funny ideas about how to save the world.
“A gripping tale of dark comedic horror that’s hard to put down, an entertainingly dark and amusing read that will certainly be tough to follow.”
STARBURST
“A wonderfully bizarre take on a cross-genre action series.”
