A fight to pay for all the treatments in a country that has no free public health system, and a fight to claw his way back from the ravages of the very treatment that saved his life.
His fight is our fight, and if we don’t fight for our friends, is there anything really worth living for?
+ + +
All income from SNAFU: Medivac goes to Jim to help pay his bills and keep his household functional.

REVIEWS FOR SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST:
“Of the four volumes thus far, Survival of the Fittest is arguably the
most cohesive, certainly the most enjoyable for me to read. Every story
was well-chosen; every author represented by solid, engaging storytelling,
and every conclusion (even to those stories that are part of
continuing narratives) inevitable and, at the same time, wonderfully
surprising.”
—Dr Michael R. Collings

“Very enjoyable and well worth reading.”
—Hellnotes

“This anthology takes what’s expected from the genre and turns it
into the strangest, most bad-ass mix of military horror stories in the
best way possible.”
—Horror Review

REVIEWS FOR THE SNAFU SERIES:
“... a great taste of what military horror can achieve.”
—Horrortalk.com (SNAFU: Heroes)

“... every single story holds its own and it’s damn difficult to pick a
standout as they all leave a mark.”
—Horrortalk.com (SNAFU 1)

“... Geoff Brown and Amanda J. Spedding deserve immense credit for
both the consistent quality and extraordinary variety...”

Omega (A Jack Sigler Thriller Book 5) Sep 22, 2013

by Jeremy Robinson, Kane Gilmour

( 279 )

$4.99

Jack Sigler, Callsign: King, field leader for a black ops organization known as Endgame, is accustomed to feeling capable of handling most any situation. It is a confidence forged in the fires of battle against both monsters and madmen. But the introduction of Asya, a sister he never knew existed, and the kidnapping of his parents has him reeling. Using Endgame’s resources, King and his ‘Chess Team’ (Queen, Rook, Bishop and Knight) scour the planet for his parents, tracking a man known to the world as Alexander Diotrephes, but known to King by another name. The legendary Hercules is alive, well and plotting something beyond imagining—something that will affect two thousand years of history.

While the team is spread thin, an intruder walks past their secret headquarters’ defenses, sits himself down in the director’s chair and waits. When he’s discovered by Endgame’s coordinator, Tom Duncan, Callsign: Deep Blue, he’s easy to identify—Richard Ridley, the team’s oldest and most dangerous enemy, who is supposed to be dead.

But he isn’t Ridley. He is a clone in search of his master, the real Ridley, who yet lives and is being held captive by the same man holding King’s parents. Believing Ridley is the only one capable of stopping Alexander’s plans, a temporary and tenuous alliance is formed, and Alexander’s location is soon uncovered. The team, along with three clones, heads for a citadel buried beneath the ruins of ancient Carthage. Already in the area, King and Asya arrive first to find their parents and a staggering family secret that leads to the end of King’s life as he knows it. The rest of the team arrives to find Richard Ridley free to act, an army of high-tech mercenaries bearing down on their location and evidence of their leader’s demise.

King is dead. Long live King.

Omega is the fifth full-length novel in the Jack Sigler/Chess Team series, following Pulse, Instinct, Threshold, and Ragnarok, as well as the prequel novel Prime, and eight standalone novellas focusing on the individual characters in the series.

Refuge Jan 10, 2014

by Jeremy Robinson, Daniel Boucher, Robert Swartwood, David McAfee, Kane Gilmour

( 385 )

$4.99

Refuge is a novel that was released in five parts from international bestselling author Jeremy Robinson, but it is now available as one complete read. So enjoy the whole completed novel. You’re in for a creepy ride.

Refuge, New Hampshire, is a small town. The kind found on postcards. Their biggest concern is the rowdy summertime revelers making their way up from Massachusetts and New York. And with most of the town’s residents in neighboring Ashland, for the Fourth of July fireworks show, Refuge is quieter than usual. That is, until the Baptist church’s bell starts ringing—on its own.

The bell chimes faster and faster, reaching a frenetic pace, as though rung by the Devil himself. But the bell is just the beginning. The air shimmers. The night-time sky fills with a burning red aurora. The moon, previously a crescent, is now full. And just hours after dusk, the sun returns to the sky, revealing an endless desert where there was once a mountainous pine forest.

Led by ex-Army Ranger turned surrealist painter, Griffin Butler, Sheriff Rebecca Rule and her deputy, Helena Frost, the residents of Refuge must weather an ever changing onslaught of otherworldly dangers while trying to uncover how and why the landscape beyond town shifts every time the church bell tolls.

As a sequence of horrific events threaten to destroy the town, the residents must band together, search for answers and find a way to defend their homes, or Refuge will be lost.

Viking Tomorrow Oct 22, 2017

by Jeremy Robinson, Kane Gilmour

( 267 )

$4.99

International bestselling authors Jeremy Robinson and Kane Gilmour imagine a world mixing the savagery of the History Channel’s Vikings with the frenetic chase scenes of Mad Max, resulting in a high-octane battle with the fate of humanity at stake.

The world is barely holding on. A century after a series of apocalyptic events, humanity is struggling to survive. In the frigid north of Scandinavia, people have returned to farming, fishing, and fighting amongst themselves, living as their ancient Viking ancestors once did. But their days in the world are numbered.

The last tattered remnants of humankind have become barren. No new live births have occurred in over a decade. When the remaining population dies, the human race will end.

When a call goes out to the greatest fighters in the North, men capable of surviving a long journey and crushing any obstacle in their path, a young female berserker named Val takes up the challenge. With her eyes hidden behind red-lens goggles, she violently proves her worth, seizes control of a small band of fellow berserkers, and heads south to claim her prize: the first glimmer of hope for a tomorrow.

Traveling deep into the wastes of Europe, surrounded by dangerous landscapes and the mutated creatures that populate them, they find themselves pursued by enemies determined to stop them at all costs. Attacked from without and betrayed from within, Val fights for the future, and if she fails, humanity fails along with her.

Callsign: Deep Blue (Chesspocalypse Novellas Book 7) Dec 17, 2013

by Jeremy Robinson, Kane Gilmour

( 79 )

$0.99

Tom Duncan—Callsign: Deep Blue, former Army ranger, former president of the United States and handler of the black ops force known as Chess Team, is visiting the team’s new secret headquarters. The underground facility, known as Alpha, once belonged to Manifold Genetics, a corrupt corporation shut down by Chess Team. But despite being abandoned for years, Alpha still hides secrets.

Security doors slam shut and lock, sealing Duncan and his assistants inside. As Matt Carrack, the leader of Duncan’s security team, attempts to gain access, Duncan discovers they are not alone inside the abandoned facility. High tech intruders have infiltrated the base, their goal unknown. But a far greater threat rises from the subterranean depths beneath Alpha—failed regenerative experiments from the days of Manifold, and they’re fast, hostile and hungry.

While the security team are beset by ingenious death traps, determined mercenaries and vicious creatures that defy their imaginations, Duncan and his personal bodyguard must battle the growing tide of creatures, stave off the incursion of enemy forces and prevent the violent intruders from releasing the horror currently contained inside Alpha, to an unsuspecting outside world. And as the battle rages, a bomb quietly counts down in the shadows.

Callsign: Deep Blue was the seventh in a series of Chess Team novellas released in 2011. Each of the eight books in the series—deemed the ‘Chesspocalypse’—follows a single member of the team and is co-authored by Jeremy Robinson and one of six other fantastic authors. The stories take place after the events of Threshold, the third Jack Sigler thriller, and before the events of Ragnarok, the fourth full-length novel in the series. The Chesspocalypse novellas are designed to introduce readers to the series. If you haven’t read the novels, no worries. Enjoy the ride!

Attack of the Kaiju Volume 2: The Next Wave Oct 30, 2019

by Christofer Nigro, Matthew Dennion, Dustin Dreyling, Skip Peel, John LeMay, Zach Cole, Kane Gilmour, Neil Reibe, D.G. Valdron, Andres Perez

( 6 )

$0.99

If you ever had nightmares about your entire city being destroyed by gigantic, nigh-indestructible monsters – or daikaiju, as we like to call them in Japanese fashion – then ATTACK OF THE KAIJU Volume 2: THE NEXT WAVE is most definitely for you. Better yet, if you ever fantasized about actually being the kaiju that did the city smashing, then this anthology also has your name on it. Or, if you instead fantasized about being a gigantic super-hero or the pilot of an enormous kaiju-busting robot – well, your dreams will find good representation here too!

This second installment in the ongoing ATTACK OF THE KAIJU series has thirteen tales of giant monster mayhem brought to you by fourteen different authors, as well as three bonus essays by additional writers covering the world of kaiju. This includes such prominent kaiju authors as Matthew Dennion (publisher of ATTACK OF THE KAIJU Volume 1: AGE OF MONSTERS and creator of the series); Skip Peel (long-time scribe of kaiju fiction for G-FAN magazine); Zach Cole (creator of Marugrah, whose published saga began with KAIJU EPOCH); and Andres Perez (co-host of the popular KaijuNoir channel on YouTube and creator of the kaiju-fighting mech warrior Draco Azul, now in his own comic book). Also included is the work of Kane Gilmour, John LeMay, Christofer Nigro, D.G. Valdron, Christopher Conde, Alex Dumitru, Neil Reibe, Cody Bratsch, Andrew Nguyen, Nathan Marchland, Kevin Heim, and Dustin Dreyling.

Within these pages humanity desperately tries to fight their way back to the top spot as ruler of the world, but can their paltry military weaponry hope to prevail against the most powerful monsters in the genre of fantastic fiction? And where common soldiers may come up short, could super-heroic sentai and robotic mechs – both of whom can match the kaiju in size and power – possibly help turn the tide in favor of human civilization? Can even the gods themselves help preserve humanity’s reign, or are the titanic predators destined to transform their respective Earths into a kaiju kingdom?
The answers to these questions will be found in this very tome, so read if you dare! A lot of great excitement and horrifying nightmares await you inside.

The Crypt of Dracula Jan 1, 2014

by Kane Gilmour, Scott P. Vaughn

( 74 )

$2.99

For too long, evil has slumbered. But now, the prince of darkness has arisen…and he thirsts.

THE CRYPT OF DRACULA

In 1899, master stone craftsman Andreas Wagner takes a job restoring an old castle in the rural mountains of Hungary. He and his mute young wife are hoping to find a new life, after the traumatic death of their infant daughter from a strange wasting disease in Munich. The eccentric Count who owns the castle, a suave but distant man, keeps strange hours. Still, Wagner settles in to the work nicely.

But then strange things start to happen in the remote castle on the cliff. The Count’s manservant is alternately elusive or confrontational. The locals are secretive and suspicious. Wagner is nearly killed by inexplicable falling masonry. A giant bat attacks his companions. Ghostly apparitions of women with claws and fangs prowl the halls of the gloomy castle late at night. When his friend falls ill from the same disease his daughter died of, Wagner decides it’s time to leave and look for a doctor, even if it means abandoning gainful employment.

But Count Dracula and his minions have other plans. For Wagner, what began as a simple job, soon becomes a frantic battle for survival and a race against the setting sun to rescue his wife and stop the spread of an ancient evil.

“All the hallmarks of a great 1970s classic creature flick are here: spooky castle, the gentleman creature of the night, and harried villagers poised to grab pitchforks and torches. Gilmour brings Dracula back, with a dash of 21st century adventure and a twist you won’t see coming.” —Jeremy Bishop, #1 bestselling horror author of Torment and The Sentinel

“THE CRYPT OF DRACULA is how a vampire novel should be written. It’s suspenseful, frightening, dark, and realistic. It harkens back to the day when ‘monster’ movies played at Saturday matinees and at midnight showings. Somewhere, Bram Stoker is smiling. He’s beaming from ear to ear because someone finally got it right, and that someone is Kane Gilmour.” —Mark Adduci, Suspense Magazine

“If you are a fan of the old-style Dracula stories, you will definitely enjoy reading THE CRYPT OF DRACULA by Kane Gilmour. Kane did an amazing job recreating the feel of Stoker while adding his own style. Travel to a magnificent castle perched dangerously on a cliff in Romania, with a very dark and dangerous secret. Within the walls hide your worst nightmares, blood-thirsty and evil. Finally, a vampire that makes you weak in the knees and afraid of the dark. There are definitely no emo, glittering vampires in this book! Be prepared to sleep with the lights on.” —Carol ‘Pixie’ Brearley, author of RISE OF THE DARK ANGEL

“Experience the Count again...for the first time! Gilmour’s version of Dracula is both homage to the classic Hammer films and a re-imagining that will have you peeking out your covers at night, while at the same time giggling like Renfield with each turn of the page. Don’t let the sun go down before getting this awesome book!” —J. Kent Holloway, author of DEVIL’S CHILD and THE CURSE OF ONE-EYED JACK
