The power-mad Warlord stands poised to conquer-- or destroy!-- the universe itself. Can anyone stand in his way?

Enter the Sentinels: College student Lyn Li... brilliant inventor and smart-alec Esro Brachis... beloved hero Ultraa... flamboyant showman Damon Sinclair... and mysterious alien powerhouse Vanadium.

When at last they all clash atop the Warlord's floating city, can the world itself survive?

"Really stands out as top-notch among its genre." 
--Adrian Watts, author of
Golden Age Adventures

"Grandiose storytelling done with gusto and panache. It captivated me. A triumphant, glorious homage to comic book super hero teams."
--Ron Fortier, author of Terminator: The Burning Earth and Daughter of Dracula
--Ron Fortier, author of Terminator: The Burning Earth

"The Sentinels have hardly seen shelf time.  They are very popular, with good reviews from [all kinds of readers]."
--Library Director, Suttons Bay, Michigan

"The massive third act [of Warlord] rivals both The Return of the King and The Deathly Hallows in breadth and depth of action. ...There's more than enough adventure and superheroics to keep even the casual superhero fan interested, and true fanboys (and girls) will likely foam with glee."
--Hydrargentium, A THOUSAND FACES magazine

8/10 starred review from RevolutionSF.com.

More reader comments:

"I couldn't put it down... the action was non-stop."

"Good stuff -- I'm ready for more!"

"I really enjoyed it. I was impressed at a couple of places where you used some stylistic 'tricks' to control the pacing of the read. I was thinking, 'Damn, I wouldn't have thought of that.'"

"It was a joy to read and I look forward to the next volume."

"A fun and pleasant read. The heroes kick butt (which is good), the characters are fairly interesting... and the fictional world is consistent. The mysteries... are compelling enough to get readers interested in future volumes, and the ability to do that is possessed by too few writers today."

"One darn good read."

"One of only a few writers who can show the truly fantastic nature of superheroic characters without the aid of art on every page."

"A good Sci Fi story, period, not just superhero Sci Fi.  [A Distant Star] has likeable characters and a complex storyline with a lot of twists and surprises and a real hint
of mystery."


"When's part two due out?"
