New book with Marine as the main character on 08/06/2009 07:14 am
Hey all, I'm actually a military dependent (or was until I reached that fun age where they take away your ID card), so I was raised around primarily Navy and Marines most of my life, dealt with friends and family being involved or directly going to areas of conflict... As a result, some of my writing has leaned that direction.

Last week, the first issue (0) of my comic, Faction, was released and is up for sale (more to follow). I thought I'd share some of the story with you guys to see what you think. If you'd like to check it out, great! If not, just consider it a shout out to all of the military out there past and present who live and who we've lost and those who left a little behind, emotionally or physically.

God bless!

FACTION

The year is 2025 and the worlds� governments are focused on eradicating the escalating terrorist threat in the Middle East secretly supported by the demonic Den Malignity. This effort has left Master Sergeant Acker Kinney, a Special Ops Medic, scarred and short an arm, forever changed.

When Acker is attacked by a demonic minion while recovering from his wounds in a military hospital, he is saved by Knights from the Society of the Enlightened. Soon he will be one of them; men and women blessed by God with countless lifetimes of knowledge and rediscovered powers.

The Society and the Den Malignity, enemies in an eternal struggle, must react when other factions, long thought banished or destroyed, rise to reclaim what was theirs. The Society and its knights must determine in this changed landscape who their allies and enemies are as factions vie for a stake in the world�s destiny.

The schemes of gods, the desires of demons, the powers of nature, myth, and the supernatural � all set forth to control a world the Society has sworn to protect. This is Faction.

FACTION

The year is 2025 and the worlds’ governments are focused on eradicating the escalating terrorist threat in the Middle East secretly supported by the demonic Den Malignity. This effort has left Master Sergeant Acker Kinney, a Special Ops Medic, scarred and short an arm, forever changed.

The Society and its knights must determine in this changed landscape who their allies and enemies are as factions vie for a stake in the world’s destiny.

The schemes of gods, the desires of demons, the powers of nature, myth, and the supernatural – all set forth to control a world the Society has sworn to protect. This is Faction.

Thanks! I'm very happy with how Arnie and Michael (art and covers) pulled the vision out of my head. ;)
