Click Click Boom (War Wolves Book 2)

by Jonathan Yanez

  Let’s see what cool things can I tell you about book two before giving you an idea about what book three is about? In book two I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel so if you haven’t guessed the Grovothe are basically space elves in mechs. Along the same line the Karnayers I modeled after elves and the Trilords, aren’t really giants but that’s how they started. I love fantasy as much as sci-fi and wanted to bring those kind of characters to life in space.

  Also the Zenoth had to be involved because I really wanted to do bugs and hive queens and all those fun tropes that come with space Marines. A game I play with myself every single time I write a book and I’m, twenty one books in at this time, is trying to think of different ways for the hero to kill the main baddy.

  By different I don’t just mean how I’ve written them, I mean how I’ve never seen anyone write the final battle scene before. I’ve come up with some pretty crazy things and I’m looking forward to seeing what you think about the death scene in book three especially.

  Nice transition to book three right? So without giving too much away the final book in the War Wolves trilogy is going to melt your brain. I was laughing and crying at different times as I wrote this last book. I know it sounds weird but the characters kind of take the wheel and drive while I write. For most of the book I’m just kind of holding on as Riot gets into her shenanigans and the crew banters back and forth.

  I guess that’s all I should say. I don’t want to ruin the last book for anyone. Anyway I better get back to editing book three. It would be awesome to connect with you either on Facebook or on my website. I’m on Facebook almost every day just type in my name in the search bar. If you’d like to join my wolf pack of readers you can visit my site at www.jonathan-yanez.com and join the pack.

  As much fun as I have writing these stories I get just as much enjoyment as making new friends and connecting with awesome readers like you.

  See you on the other side,

  Jonathan

  P.S. We just signed contracts with Podium to bring Riot and the War Wolves to audiobook! I can’t wait to hear the voice actress bring Riot to life.

  Jonathan did it again! If you don’t now, he’s the one doing the majority of these books, and every time he brings me something I’m blown away. They’re so much fun, right?

  Working on books like this is the best, because instead of filling your minds with all kinds of drama and heartache, we’re here taking these characters through crazy situations that they will fight their way out of and bring the thunder in a way that makes you, we hope, pump your fist and laugh with the thrill of the fight. It’s like watching John Wick or Jack Reacher, but in space, right?

  For me this type of story hits a soft spot because it is, in a sense, a way to escape all of the craziness of the world. My grandma just passed away, we read the news and get depressed, money problems, etc., right? All of these things can tear us down if we let them, but sometimes all you need is a good book to take you away from it all. Maybe Riot reminds you that it’s okay to just punch the enemy in the throat (the enemy here being all that crap—cancer, negative thoughts, whatever) and go back to your friends and enjoy life. Maybe her friends are your friends now? That’s how I am when reading and writing. When I finished Glynn Stewart’s Starship Mage book (which I LOVED) it was like I had just spent a great time with my buddies kicking butt in space with runes and magic and spaceships.

  Is it a depressing thought, that our friends are fictional? Hell no! Because our friends simply include the fictional. Now our friends include you, and you, and you, and me! Haha. You get what I’m saying, right? This is a new age of writing, and you can join us on the Seppukarian Universe Facebook page and chat about this and other stories, or just tell us about the new cats you adopted (you know who you are). We love it! It’s a community that the old age of fiction writing never benefited from. So thank you for being part of it. You keep reading, we’ll keep writing!

  How could we stop even if you weren’t reading, right? Telling stories is just too much fun!

  There’s also the fact that I was in the Marines, so always love a fun action story that takes me back to memories of going into space to kill crazy bugs and fight along mechs. Oh, wait, that part of my service was TS, so… pretend I never said anything here!

  But seriously, I had mixed feelings about my time in the Corps, but love to explore those emotions in these stories. Is it all fun and games? No, but there’s a lot of fun anyway.

  So how about you all? What makes you keep reading these books, and what other ones are you reading? We’d love to hear from you! You can reach me at JustinMSloan@gmail.com.

  Death isn’t so bad if it means saving the universe.

  Samantha was badass even before she learned magic. Fending for herself in the cauldron of a planet torn apart by an alien invasion taught Samantha how to kill. Ruthlessly efficient, her abilities have caught the attention of the Shadow Corps.

  A group comprised of deadly warriors who focus on galactic safety, using any means necessary.

  A battle-hardened warlord causing you trouble? The Shadow Corps will ruin their day.

  Her first mission puts her team up against a space dragon, death reapers, and the ultimate sorcerer.

  Samantha had better learn to master her alien magic, or be forced to watch her world, and many others, burn.
