Acts of Violence
"Prepare yourself for heaps of action, some gruffness, and lots of gritty dialogue in this fun thriller!" - Readers' Favorite My name’s Jack Mason. I made a mistake. Took home the wrong girl and now she’s dead. Cut up. And they’re telling me I did it. It’s the same cop that tried to take me down ten years ago. Now he’s coming at me hard. And he’s not the only one. Cole Webster, the city’s crime lord, thinks I stole from him. Broke me out of custody just to ask me about it. Then I killed his son. Now he really wants me. Add to this equation a government agent, and I’m a real popular guy right now. Pretty much everyone I meet wants me dead, lawfully or otherwise. There’s nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. I’ve got till morning to uncover Webster’s trafficking operation and take the heat off me. And all I’ve got to go on is a pissed off homeless girl with a thirst for revenge. Guess it could be worse. Can’t quite figure how.
Fear of the Dark
- The sixth standalone novel in the sweeping science-fantasy NEXUS universe - "Fear of the Dark is entertaining, fast-paced, and offers interesting settings bordering on Vandermeer-esque." - Reedsy A dark planet on the galaxy’s edge. A primordial predator. A desperate hunt for a dangerous secret. When the medical frigate Ruby Rose picks up an SOS from the planet’s lightning-ravaged surface, the medics do not hesitate to drop into the raging storm. But the innocuous little planet is home to something sinister. Something desperate. Something that will stop at nothing to find what it’s looking for. Across the galaxy, the crew of the Star Wraith receives a call for help. The captain of a medical frigate has lost his medics, and one of their names is all too familiar. But how could the Wraith's crew know that a simple rescue mission will lead to a string of murders and a waking nightmare that will leave them forever changed?
Democracy
Democracy surrounds us like the air we breath, and is normally taken very much for granted. Across the world democracy has become accepted as an unquestionably good thing. Yet upon further examination the merits of democracy are both paradoxical and problematic, and the treasured values of liberty and equality can be used to argue both for and against it. In the historical section of the book, Ross Harrison clearly traces the history of democracy by examining the works of, amongst others, Plato and Aristotle, Hegel and Marx. Informed by facts and detailed knowledge of these famous thinkers, Harrison provides a clear and cogent justification of democracy.
Temple of the Sixth
- The 2nd standalone science-fantasy NEXUS novel - When omens of the End Times appear across the galaxy, it signals the start of a war between two immortal forces - the Celestians and the Hierarchy. The Hierarchy have learnt and adapted since they last waged war, forcing the Celestians to enlist the aid of mortals to free a kidnapped god. Thardriik Jhunassi Kortlyn III - Theak - was a private detective. For a day. Then came the incident with the dead puppy and the inevitable end of his crime-fighting career. Despite his flaws, Theak is a clear choice for the Celestians, and he is drawn into the centre of a battle that will decide the fate of the galaxy. Time is something the Celestians’ heroes do not have as the Hierarchy’s infection spreads across countless worlds, bending every living creature to their will. With the heroes’ every step bringing them closer towards one final battle, there is only one question: can they defeat an ancient and immortal enemy?
Forge of the Assassin

They say that if she really was just one person, she died under a thousand tonnes of rubble. They're wrong. Alexiares has kept Baby safe for seven years, staying one step ahead of assassins and hunters. But one step isn't enough. Not when their new enemy reveals himself. Her worst nightmare becomes reality: Baby is ripped from her. Taken to be made into the perfect assassin – something Alexiares promised she wouldn't allow. The clock's ticking and her failure is almost complete. She must work out why she's still alive while staying ahead of the assassins, a government task force, and the malevolent whispers of her own broken mind. She must find a way to rescue Baby. And she must remind them all of one thing... She is the only thing they fear.
Democracy
Ross Harrison provides a clear analytical justification of democracy, informed by facts and detailed knowledge of the work of major thinkers of the past. This book is ideal for both those with an interest in the arguments for democracy, and students of politics or philosophy who will find this an excellent introduction to the term.

But he is dragging them towards war. Why is he so convinced that it’s the Vanguard’s fault? The inquisitors have changed. As teenagers, they witnessed the murder in front of their eyes.

The path of love. The path of fear. The Vanguard is still reeling from Bane and his master. There are still scattered remnants of the Fallen to hunt down. But so too are there unknown elements moving in the shadows. A cult whose path to their god of war is through the death of inquisitors. An empire on the path to something terrible. And meanwhile, a familiar darkness rises anew. The little girl with accelerated ageing asked only one thing before she died: don't let them do this again. It was a promise they could not keep.
