Parliament of the Profane I: Summum Omnium Bonus
As the history books teach us...
1945. A trio of superheroes known as the Triumvirate have revealed themselves to the world. These people with powers only previously heard of in comic books- the ability to fly, superhuman strength and speed, and mastery of the elements- helped the United States to win World War II. With the blessing of the U.S. government and financially backed by the military-industrial giant CPI Corporation, the Triumvirate became fighters of crime and communism in equal parts while championing American values.
1990. For the first time ever, new humans develop super-powers and an entire generation of meta-humans joins forces with the Triumvirate to form Operation Scimitar. While not nearly as powerful as the seemingly eternal members of the Triumvirate, these new heroes became the front line soldiers in a war against the supervillains who have replaced the Red Menace as the greatest threat to the American way of life.
2014: Gwendolyn Beckett was merely doing her patriotic duty, submitting herself to testing and training at CPI's Operation Scimitar Headquarters after her extraordinary power to melt metals with her mind manifested itself. That was the last thing she remembered, before she awoke bound and hooded, listening to a roaring crowd that is waiting to see her fight a fellow meta-human to the death in a gladiatorial arena. As Gwen battles to stay alive, a splinter faction within the U.S. government, led by a cryptic meta-human who calls himself Seether, is plotting her rescue because they believe that a secret is locked away in her mind. That secret could overturn everything that people thought they knew about meta-humans, could bring crimes to light that have gone long unpunished, and could shed light on a conspiracy millennia in the making. More importantly to Seether, that secret could answer the one question that has plagued him since he woke up off the coast of Nagasaki in 1945 with no memory and powers similar to the members of the Triumvirate: what the hell is he?

Parliament of the Profane II: Fides Uberrima
In the second book of the Parliament of the Profane trilogy, Nate Greene, better known as Seether, has finally regained those memories lost after the nuclear explosion in Nagasaki during World War II and at last understands what he is. When the world was still without form and void, he went by the name Azrael, and he served Heaven as the Angel of Vengeance and the instrument of God's Wrath. For six thousand years he had been confined to Earth, a punishment for taking up arms against the Throne during the Morning Star's rebellion, and for six thousand years, he has fought evil in whatever form it has taken.
With the machinations of Preston Ward and the Triumvirate temporarily thwarted, and many meta-humans loyal to the sinister CPI Corporation slain, there will still be no time for Seether and his allies to celebrate their victory. Ward and the two surviving members of the Triumvirate are still on the loose, and a new organization called Fides Uberrima, a cult capable of wielding an incredible power, have thrown their support behind Ward's endgame, an endgame that remains frustratingly elusive to Seether and his companions.
As Ward reaches the culmination of his life's endeavors and Fides Uberrima preaches the coming of the apocalypse, Seether will need to reach back into his distant memories to truly understand the grave peril the world now faces and find a way to defeat the ultimate threat to humanity.

Parliament of the Profane III: Gloria Deo
Coming Soon!
The gates of Pandaemonium have been opened and shadow daemons have been unleashed upon the world. Preston Ward’s goal of eradicating humanity is approaching fruition, and humanity’s only hope for salvation- Azrael and his meta-human Nephilim cohorts- have been captured, killed or scattered to the wind.
Ward’s soul, now possessing the Serpent- the shadow drake responsible for man’s original sin, has a final weapon to unleash against those who fight to save humanity. Azrael’s oldest opponent, responsible for the angel of death’s own fall from grace, will be set free from his prison at last to ensure the destruction of life on Earth.
Partisan
Book 1 of the Invasion of Miraval
The Grand Duchy of Miraval is a small, picturesque country of great snow-capped mountains, rich alluvial valleys and plains, and grandiose sections of woods and waterlands strategically located between the world's two great powers. The past two decades have seen Miraval forced to go to war twice with the Dominion, their belligerent, saber-rattling neighbor to the north. Miraval ceded territory to the Dominion in each of those wars to earn an uneasy peace, but most Miravallians knew that the Dommies were just biding their time. The Dominion would come for the entire country sooner or later and every citizen would be called upon to fight.
Raslan Dagenham, better known as Dag, was a simple hunter and an incredible shot who cared nothing for what went on in the world beyond his town of Harren Falls in the rocky, forested hills of the Crest. Since his father died fighting the Dominion in the Great Strife, his only interest had been seeing to the survival of his siblings and mother. The return of his brother Aleksian from university, bearing news that the rumors of an impending Dominion invasion are likely true, coincides with news that several northern cities have fallen to a Dominion advance of tanks and airships.
Under cover of darkness, an advanced Dominion force launches a surprise assault on the Dagenham's home town, bringing a distant war into the brothers' back yard. Spurred on by Aleksian's patriotism and his own desire to protect his home, Dag picks up his rifle in defense of Miraval and goes to war. Allied with his brother Aleksian, a few National Guardsmen, a couple of constables, and a ragtag group of volunteers, Dag will make a stand to save his hometown and possibly his country.

Guerrilla
Book 2 of the Invasion of Miraval
For Dag and Alex Dagenham and their ragtag group of partisans, militia volunteers and National Guardsman, the defeat of the Dominion forces invading their homeland was but a small victory compared to the crushing defeats suffered by the hopelessly outmatched Grand Duchy of Miraval. Nearly a third of their country has fallen to the military onslaught of the mighty Dominion, and the mountainous woodlands know as the Crest, the Dagenham brothers’ home, is now cut off from the rest of Miraval.
The Dominion military, incensed at even a single defeat at the hands of a group of peasants, hunters and farmers, knows that resistance in the Crest must be eliminated before they can advance their army further into Miraval. A massive column of Dommie infantry and tanks, supported by newly designed steel-hulled airships, is being sent into the Crest from Dominion-occupied Miraval to quash the insurrection once for all.
Trapped behind enemy lines, the brothers Dagenham must scramble to prepare another defense of their home against a massive force that will not underestimate them again.

Saboteur
Book 3 of the
Invasion of Miraval
Coming Soon!
Winter has fallen in the Crest and across Miraval, and everywhere the war has reached a seeming stalemate. The Dominion invaders have refused to advance further into Miraval with a strongly outfitted militia force to their rear, and have settled into a tactic of trying to starve out the Miravallian holdouts in the Crest.
Knowing that they will not survive the winter without help, Raslan “Dag” Dagenham agrees to take his commandeered airship, the Godsfury, from the Crest to the capital of Alethia. The Miravallian capital is not in much better shape, but the promise of an ally and a new source of weapons and supplies in the powerful Barony Confederation has presented itself. It merely requires the destruction of the Citadel, an impregnable fortress buried deep in the mountains of a Dominion puppet state, the Elysing Alliance. The massive artillery of the Citadel has the capability of reaching Barony cities and the Confederation will not commit to helping Miraval with that threat still in place.
With no other way to save the people of the Crest, Dag agrees to lead an infiltration force into enemy territory, all while dealing with sabotage attempts from within his own ranks and Dominion irregulars that seemed determined to assassinate the brothers Dagenham.
Sanguine Starscapes
A Collection of Short Stories
Humanity has left Earth to truly explore the stars, but what of those who remain in the shadows, feasting upon humanity's blood? Would they not follow their prey into the depths of space?
Sanguine Starscapes is a collection of four short stories, each taking the vampiric myth into the stars. Humanity may transcend the bounds of their home planet, may colonize worlds, and may create an idyllic future, but they cannot escape that which is immortal. And the immortal cannot escape the call of blood.
Available on Amazon here.
Reality and Other Falsehoods
A Collection of Short Stories
Five science fiction/ fantasy short stories from author Justin Bohardt focusing on characters who find the reality of their worlds unraveling before their eyes.
All of us here, dragging ourselves through existence, are held captive by a singular filament: reality. What if that tiny thread were to snap and the universe came crashing down around us? Here are five stories from author Justin Bohardt about those who are caught in flux, shredding holes in the fabric of reality.
Science. Religion. Drugs. Death. Insanity. Five portals into realms of chaos through which our characters must travel as they cling to humor, faith, rage, righteousness and music. All the while, they are immune to the anchor we take for granted every day: the anchor of reality.
"We're destroying ourselves. We have done this! This idea of progress. We've gone to the stars, we've unlimited power sources. we've explained all the mysteries of the universe through physics and mathematics. If we are so smart, why is it all ending?" - Priest Pius.
This compilation is an e-book re-release of Justin Bohardt's first independently published short story collection.
Available on Amazon here.
Tales from an Altered Verse
An Anthology of Short Stories
An anthology encompassing the collections Sanguine Starscapes and Reality and Other Falsehoods, here are nine short stories from author Justin Bohardt spanning a range of years (1996-2015), genres (science fiction, horror, and fantasy) and areas (vampires, dystopian futures, drug abuse, insanity, ghosts, religion, and the future). The common thread through all of these stories is the skewed perception of reality. Not everything we see can be explained, and just because we do not see something does not mean that it is not real. Most importantly, the reality of the world around us, which we take for granted, is infinitely fragile. Only the slightest impetus can cause everything to come crashing down around us and unravel the universe as we know it.

Twenty-six Suicides
A Collection of Poetry
Pain. Grief. Sacrifice. Honor. Necessity. Love. Every suicide has its reason. Every suicide has its story.

Solar Tempests
A Collection of Poetry
From attempts to project humanity’s flaws and prejudices into a futuristic landscape to the intricacies and hopeful humor of alien massage parlors, there is still one defining theme in Justin Bohardt's latest collection of poems. Whether it is the colonization of different worlds, death in outer space, the future of those photophobic covenant-breakers, or the nightmares the tear your soul asunder, this exploration contained in these poems is purely ethereal, looking to whatever lies beyond our time, our minds and our lives.
Available on Amazon here.
We’re All Gaijin on Mars
A Collection of Poetry
The capturing of nature's essence in seventeen precisely arranged syllables is moved from its classical roots and into the future as the nature of the stars, space exploration, alien contact, and the future of humanity beyond Earth is examined in over one hundred minimalist poems.
We're All Gaijin on Mars is a collection of over one hundred Japanese-style minimalist poems set primarily in science fiction and fantasy settings. This first volume of Justin Bohardt's collected poetry contains works almost exclusively composed in the haiku format, although it also includes senryu, tanka, and haibun, as well as some free verse.
Available on Amazon here.
Beyond the Rim
An Anthology of Poetry
This collection of poetry from Justin Bohardt is actually the combination of two separate collections that had previously been released exclusively as E-books under the titles Solar Tempests and We’re All Gaijin on Mars. Although stylistically quite different, the two collections both reflect the same genre of speculative poetry- works in the science-fiction, fantasy and (occasionally) horror categories.
