Author Notes - David Beers
Written July 8, 2021
Even after writing a lot of books, there’s still a sense of amazement that someone actually reads them. I don’t think I’ll ever lose that awe; so, thank you – you made my day.
Alistair learned a lot in this book, but he still has more lessons ahead of him. A lot of my own life goes into my novels, and I think I’m at a stage in my life where I’m having to learn some pretty important things. Sometimes the lessons are easy, but sometimes I make them hard, and it perhaps feels a bit like a giant bird-creature trying to decapitate you.
The lessons don’t get easier for Alistair, I promise, but if he can master them, he’ll find they’re rewarding.
Perhaps that’s true for all of us.
Prometheus Unites is next.
Come with me, and let’s see what awaits. Can Alistair keep learning in order to once again be with his wife? Or are the lessons going to grow too hard?

Author Notes - Michael Anderle
Written July 7, 2021
Thank you for both reading this book and these author notes in the back.
This book, I’m going to speak about one of the challenging aspects of running a publishing company such as LMBPN.
It’s not rocket science, but it is starting to feel like it.
What am I talking about? Covers.
So, LMBPN puts out between 320-400 new covers a year. Some of these covers are for our new series (the problem children are the book ones of the series.) Some of the covers are for the multi-box sets where we need a special image created that (often) uses the first book in the series plus the other covers as spinal images.
But not always because that would be too easy.
Other covers are required when we are re-branding existing series (such as The Kurtherian Gambit books 01-21 are in production to recover all of them.) We are also in the middle of a recover for the twenty-two books in The Unbelievable Mr. Brownstone.
Just between those two series, we will need over forty new covers.
We are proud that our covers ROCK, or we try to make them do so. We don’t always hit the mark with some of the series, so then we go back and give them a new coat of paint.
For others, we know that they will be good for years (such as the Skharr DeathEater covers.) Fortunately, one doesn’t recover Sword & Sorcery stories very often. This is good, those painting-style covers are e.x.p.e.n.s.i.v.e.
The covers for this series are pretty on point, but it took a little while to dial in what the effort would look and how we imagined a whole table full of these books might look.
To feed the art-monster (covers, social images, advertising images, etc.) LMBPN sources four to five artists and asks for all the time that they can provide us.
It’s a lot.
Sometimes—meaning every couple of weeks—we realize that someone (not pointing any fingers at myself) has gummed up the works by placing a new series on the production schedule while failing to let cover production know we need art.
Fast forward a few weeks to audio catalog preparation and we realize we have no scheduled book cover for something that needs to be done…usually in two weeks and you can hear “MIKE!” screamed from one state here in America to another.
I try like hell to be busy writing something—anything—and keep my head buried when those mistakes occur.
The reason this is top of mind is I just got off an unscheduled conference call that roped in an author, an artist, and the lady responsible for keeping the schedule clean and the artists sane.
And me.
Generally, I’m the one who caused the problem.
(The issue was actually a scheduling problem that was exacerbated by a COVID situation. Not me…this time.)
Obviously, having to schedule a few hundred covers while everything is in a state of flux is not as difficult as rocket science.
It just feels like it. For about an hour, then we leave thinking we have it in the bag.
Until you hear a small voice coming over the winds from the East…
“MIIIIIKKKEEE!”
Ad Aeternitatem,

The Singularity
One thousand years in the future, humans no longer rule...
In the early twenty-first century, humanity marveled at its greatest creation: Artificial Intelligence. They never foresaw the consequences of such a creation, though...
Now, in a world where humans must meet specifications to continue living, a man named Caesar emerges. Different, both in thought and talent, Caesar somehow slipped through the genetic net meant to catch those like him.
Eyes are falling on Caesar now, though, and he can no longer hide. The Artificial Intelligence wants him dead, but others want him to lead their revolution…
Can one man stand against humanity’s greatest creation?
A don’t-miss epic science fiction novel that pits one man fighting for the future of all people!

The Devil’s Dream
He'll raise the dead, at all costs...
Perhaps the smartest man to ever live, Matthew Brand changed the world by twenty-five years old. In his mid-thirties, he still shaped the world as he wanted, until cops gunned down his son on the street.
Brand's life changed then. He forgot about bettering Earth and started trying to resurrect his son.
Eventually, Brand's mind overpowered even death's mysteries; he discovered how to bring back the dead--he only needed living bodies to make his son's life possible again. Why not use the bodies of those who killed his son?
In the largest manhunt the FBI's ever experienced, how do they stop a man who can calculate all the odds and stack them in his favor?
