A CHAMPION, STILL STANDING

Ashok Vadal, once a remorseless and highly effective Protector of the Law, is now the reluctant military commander of a throng of rebels and misfits, and turncoat to a treacherous empire bent on the mass murder of an entire caste of people. Even now, the Great Extermination has begun.

The empire may be mighty, but if it is war the Capital wants, then it is war they will have. Vadal has faced down gods and demons before and overcome them. Now the champion and defender of the untouchables of Lok has a name. He is grim and implacable. He is still standing despite all this world has thrown at him. He is Ashok Vadal!

MEN IN BLACK AT THE REN FAIRE

John Rast went to the Ren Faire looking for a fight. Well, a simulated fight, with blunt swords and safety equipment. But when his final opponent turns into a living, fire-breathing dragon, John finds himself in the fight of his life. And that's when destiny comes to call.

John is spirited away to the well-hidden base of Knight Watch, the organization that stands between humanity and the real nasties the rest of the world doesn’t know about. John and his reluctant teammates have to figure out who, or what, is pulling the strings before all of Knight Watch falls prey to a well-concealed puppetmaster.
