Dale Lucas

The start of a rollicking debut fantasy series where two watchmen protect the streets of one of fantasy's most dangerous cities. A member of the Yenara City guard has gone missing. The culprit could be any of the usual suspects: drug-dealing orcs, mind-controlling elves, uncooperative mages, or humans being typical humans. It's up to two reluctant partners -- Rem, a miscreant who joins the Watch to pay off his bail, and Torval, a maul-wielding dwarf who's highly unimpressed with the untrained Rem -- to uncover the truth and catch the murderer loose in their fair city. "A brilliant premise, wonderfully told. A city that breathes, and heroes you can't help but root for." -- Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld "A glorious tour through fantasy's seamier side. A wilder ride than Middle Earth, and you'll love every minute of it!" -- Jon Hollins, author of the Dragon Lords series

Get started in the fantastic Worlds of Warhammer with this great value book. Enjoy a collection of tales from the Mortal Realms, covering a host of races and factions and providing a taste of the flavour of the Age of Sigmar. The city of Excelsis is in mourning. Thousands were slain in the great greenskin siege, the streets of a proud civilisation reduced to bloodied pits. The sheer might of Sigmar’s allies may have won the battle, but the war between Order and Destruction is far from over, and out in the Ghurish wildlands a new evil lurks. When Freeguild captain Holger Beck and his regiment are ambushed on patrol, there is no time to fathom the cunning intellect of their foe – all they learn is terror. Broken and beaten, Beck latches on to a retinue of Thunderstrike Stormcasts led by Knight-Relictor Actinus, a formidable warrior under whose intrepid shadow Beck falls. Together, mortal soldier and divine warrior must strike forth into the dark heart of Ghur to destroy their enemy, before it takes advantage of the weakened city. But their trials have only just begun, and when even the indomitable Thunderstrike’s mettle is tested, what chance is there for a human soul to claw at victory? This anthology contains the thrilling novella Thunderstrike by Richard Strachan, and a host of short stories that showcase the many warring armies that exist within the worlds of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

The Fifth Ward: Good Company

Jam-packed with mobsters, mystery, magic and mayhem, Dale Lucas offers a new twist on the action-hero and a love letter to classic pulp fiction like no other. Harlem, 1927: The Reverend Barnabus Farnes and his fellow members of the Harlem Concerned Citizens Brigade narrowly escape a mob rub-out when the shadowy crimefighter known as Doc Voodoo comes to their aid. But in the aftermath of their deliverance, perils amass as mob boss Harry Flood decides to fight Doc’s magic with magic and revolutionary Jebediah Debbs forms an armed and dangerous Harlem Vigilance Committee. Between trigger-happy vigilantes, a hexed holy man, and a mad mobster out for blood, Doc Voodoo finds himself torn between worlds and caught in the crossfire… Crossfire is the second book in the Doc Voodoo series. Aces & Eights is the first. "The difference between old pulp and its new incarnation is that back in the day, most pulp characters spoke and behaved the way the stereotypes of the time dictated they were supposed to speak and behave. In Doc Voodoo, the characters have their own identities and motivations - some good, some bad, all human... "Doc Voodoo is a crackling and compelling read, and Dale Lucas's knowledge of 1920s New York City, as well as Haitian Voodoo, not only impresses, it also moves the story along rather than getting in the way." -- Charles R. Saunders, author of the Imaro and Dossouye novels “Rather than stretch out an idea until it snaps, author Dale Lucas presents a tight, action packed tale...” -- Nathan Brazil on the Sci-Fi Site “This is a true page-turner that will have you cheering with each new gun battle, from this new pulp hero’s first appearance to his last.” -- Ron Fortier of Pulp Fiction Reviews
