Requirements: ePUB / MOBI Reader, 5.6MB & 4.6MB
Overview: John Bowers discovered his love for writing in 7th grade and started his first novel at age 13. By the time he graduated high school he had written six complete novels, sending his English teachers (all four of them) into paroxysms of delight. The pastor of his church was not so easily amused, however, and Bowers was encouraged to give up the creation of "manmade daydreams" and seek the Kingdom of God instead. He continued writing through his twenties, turning out several more books and a number of screenplays, but around age 30 finally surrendered to "God’s will" and gave up writing altogether.
Genre: Fiction; Sci-fi/Fantasy
#2 – Sirian Summer
When Nick Walker arrives on Sirius 1 to take over the United Federation Marshal’s office at Kline Corners, his first priority is to find out who murdered the man he is replacing, Ron Gates. Kline Corners is like no place he has ever seen — it looks like an old West cow town, complete with sheriff and saloon.
But things are not what they seem. Nick soon discovers an epidemic of missing girls, talk of racial oppression, and outright human slavery. If he can get to the bottom of those issues, he may learn who murdered Ron Gates.
#3 – Rebel Guns of Alpha Centauri
Eight years ago, when Nick Walker was a twenty year-old Star Marine, his unit was deployed to Alpha Centauri 2 to put down an insurrection by the Rebel Coalition. Eighteen months of hard fighting led to a dramatic showdown in the little mountain town of Trimmer Springs, where Nick’s unit—cut off, surrounded, and outnumbered—held out for two days until relief arrived. With most of his comrades dead or wounded, Nick took a sniper rifle into the church tower and became a one-man killing machine, stopping the rebel forces cold for more than thirty-six hours.
Now a United Federation Marshal, Nick returns to Trimmer Springs to keep the peace. The war is over, but memories remain. Most of the men Nick killed in those terrible two days still have relatives living in the area, and they know who he is. Fueled by hatred and cultic religious fervor, some have vowed to take revenge, by any means necessary…and they don’t care who gets hurt along the way.
Guns of Alpha Centauri is Nick Walker’s third assignment as U.F. Marshal, and his most deadly to date. At least he isn’t alone this time—Suzanne Norgaard, his stunning Vegan girlfriend, is with him, and she’s a crack shot with a rifle…but how long can the two of them survive against a quarter million rabid religious fanatics?
#4 – Bounty Hunter at Binary Flats
When Colonial Senator Gil Prater of Alpha Centauri receives a wanted poster with his name on it, he calls in Nick Walker, U.F. Marshal. Nick travels 2000 miles to investigate the threat and walks into a whirlwind of conflicting characters and agendas.
Within hours of his arrival he finds himself at odds with the local police chief, a pair of small-time thugs, a Rukranian mercenary…and even the Senator himself seems a little flaky.
Aided by beautiful journalist Cybele Gannon, Nick tries to make sense of a baffling case: who wants the Senator dead, and why? Or is the whole thing just a giant hoax?
Nick quickly realizes he can trust no one, then learns the stakes are even bigger than he ever imagined. The only person he can truly count on is his fiancée Suzanne, but she’s back home in Trimmer Springs. He’s called for backup, but backup is always late.
This time he’s on his own.
#5 – Gunfight on the Alpha Centauri Express
Barely recovered from his adventure at Binary Flats, Nick Walker is suddenly sucked into another situation so bizarre it almost defies belief. His reputation as a two-fisted lawman has spread throughout the settled galaxy; many compare him to Yancy West, the fictional Hollywood hero of the Ancient West, and billions are grateful for what he does.
But not everybody.
Just as he is about to take on the most dangerous adversary he has yet faced—a terrorist organization intent on the overthrow of the Federation—Nick gets sucker-punched by a “legal-eagle” tinhorn in a $4000 business suit who thinks Nick’s law enforcement methods are just too violent. Assistant U.F. Attorney Brian Godney seeks an injunction against Nick, and a court hearing to determine if excessive-force charges can be filed.
If that isn’t enough, Godney’s assistant is U.F. Attorney Victoria Cross, a former Star Marine with whom Nick was once involved…and his fiancée, Suzanne Norgaard, isn’t going to be happy about that. Nick finds himself juggling terror attacks, the media, and courtroom antics as he struggles to make sense of it all—and if the U.F. Attorney doesn’t get his head…the terrorist leader wants him dead.
Don’t miss this fast-paced, high-octane thriller as Nick Walker faces the possibility of prison even as he tries to save the planet from the raging terror threat. It will all come to a head during the Gunfight on the Alpha Centauri Express.
#6 – Manhunt on Tau Ceti 4
Two years after his court-ordered exile, Nick Walker has hit bottom. He’s out of a job, has lost his fiancée, his best friend, and everything he cares about, and the man responsible has got away.
After the gunfight on the Alpha Centauri Express, terrorist Kenneth Saracen fled Federation space, heading for parts unknown. Nick tracked him until the leads ran out, but now the trail has gone cold. Once the toast of Federation law enforcement, Nick is out of leads, out of ideas, and has nothing left to live for.
But he still has one friend who hasn’t given up on him. Victoria Cross, once his lover, now his lawyer, is determined to find Nick and drag him back to civilization. She knows his anguish from personal experience, and understands where his self-destructive path must lead. Come hell or high altitude, she will find him and set him on the trail again. She knows he will resist her efforts, but she has an ace in the hole that he won’t be able to ignore:
She knows where to find Saracen.
#8 – Revolt on Alpha 2
Six years before Nick Walker became a United Federation Marshal, he joined the Star Marines. A revolution was already brewing on Alpha Centauri 2, then a Federation colony; two religious cults had banded together and were attempting to overthrow the Colonial government.
The shooting started while Nick was still in training, but the Star Marines were not deployed for another year, when it became clear that neither the Colonial Defense Force nor the Federation Infantry could contain the rebellion. By the time Nick’s regiment arrived on the scene, the Rebel Coalition had conquered an entire continent and it seemed that nothing could stop them.
You already know the story of Trimmer Springs, of Nick’s heroism in the bell tower with a Browning .49 cal sniper rifle; now read the entire story, from the moment Nick and the 33rd Star Marines first set foot on the planet. The fighting is brutal, the fear is constant, and survival seems unlikely. What some might consider atrocities often become routine events, the only way to stay alive.
Combat changes a man. Even the most innocent, idealistic recruit, if he survives, will never be the same. Not even Nick Walker.
Follow Nick’s evolution from combat cherry to weary war veteran. This is Nick as you’ve never seen him, just twenty years old, raw and unsophisticated. Grab your helmet, your canteen, your bandoleers, your .291 assault rifle—and brace yourself for action! This will be the hottest fight of Nick’s life, and you will be right there with him.
