The Last Lonely Trail
U.S. Marshal. David Crockett Hall and Texas Ranger, John Barclay Armstrong have set out chasing men, each for their own reasons. When their paths converge in Kansas, they discover the men they were following separately have now joined together and are heading for a giant payday somewhere, but where the two lawmen don't know. This story is about camaraderie, friendship, hardship and an unerring desire to complete their jobs at any and all costs. Set against the background of the late 1870's, the story takes us across the mid-west, southwest and into Colorado, unfolding a tale of two strangers becoming friends.
Seadragon
Imagine you're a 32-year-old Master Chief in the U.S. Navy named Walter Koch, and you're not just testing any old diving suit; you're in what's essentially a high-tech, sci-fi wetsuit for Project Seadragon. This suit lets you swim deeper than a submarine's dreams, without the hassle of tanks or the fear of the bends. But, as luck would have it, your test dive goes south faster than a penguin on a ski lift. An explosion sends you rocketing towards the surface, leaving your team in a rather permanent state of "rest." When you wake up, you're not just in the suit; you are the suit, in a manner of speaking. It's fused with you, and nobody's got a clue how to get you out.
The Epsilon Wave: Enter Brad Jefferies, head of the mysterious Epsilon Project, who's got more secrets than a government file on UFOs. He convinces Koch that the accident was no accident (because why would it be simple, right?). Koch finds himself in a world where the human mind's potential, dubbed the Epsilon Wave, has created beings known as Exotic Humans. It's like if your brain could manifest your deepest fears and fantasies, and then they started hanging out with you.
Ancient Cities and Underwater Wars: Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder, Koch discovers Mu, an ancient city that sank with Atlantis but decided to keep the party going underwater. Both cities, alive and kicking at the bottom of their respective oceans, are about to kick off a war that could make the surface world's problems look like a minor squabble over who ate the last slice of pizza.
This novel marks Richard Paolinelli's return to the Seadragon universe after over 35 years. He was the writer for the first two issues of the original comic series back in '85, so he's not just revisiting; he's expanding the lore with the depth of someone who's been there, done that, and got the t-shirt fused to his skin.
"Seadragon" isn't just a tale of underwater adventure; it's a dive into a world where the supernatural and the scientific collide, with enough plot twists to make a pretzel look straight. If you're into stories where the line between man and machine blurs, where ancient cities wage war beneath the waves, and where every dive might just be into the unknown, then "Seadragon" is your kind of deep-sea adventure. Just remember, when you're in over your head, sometimes the only way out is through.
Maelstrom
Dr. Steven Collins, driven by a singular purpose to prevent humanity's annihilation by asteroids, invents a revolutionary shield using Earth's magnetic field. But what happens when this shield, meant to save us, becomes the harbinger of our doom?
Unravel the Mystery: Discover how Collins's experiment backfires, catapulting him 102 years into the future where he's the only hope for the remnants of humanity.
A World Transformed: Encounter a San Francisco that Dante could only dream of in his darkest visions, a city reshaped by time and technology.
Action-Packed Narrative: Follow Collins as he navigates a world not just changed by time but by the very fabric of reality itself. From terraforming planets to battling a sinister overlord, every page turns faster than a spacecraft in a slingshot orbit.
When The Gods Fell
In the year 2041 mankind has finally stepped onto the surface of Mars. The crew of the Seeker set about their mission of laying down the foundation for a new base, while two of the crew are sent out to recover old Earth probes.
But instead of probes, the pair discover a woman who calls herself, Oracle Delphi, and she has an incredible tale to tell them. A tale of a Mars over sixty-five million years in the past. Of a world that was once covered in seas and lakes, icecaps and deserts, plains and forests. When it was a world called Olympus, inhabited by the race of advanced immortals that called the planet home.
Immortals we now call gods.
What will Oracle’s tale mean regarding the origins of life on Earth? The truth about the Gods humanity worships today is now in their hands.
The future of the people of Earth now that they have this knowledge remains to be seen.

Dreams of the Storyteller, Volume II
A two-volume collection of short stories written by Richard Paolinelli.
Phoenix
Humanity has colonized the solar system, but crime still doesn’t pay. David Carter is one of the most decorated agents in the Interplanetary Police Forces, but for the last two years, he’s turned reckless, throwing himself into his work—or into the path of a criminal’s bolt pistol. As a specialist in deception analysis and interrogation, Veronique de Tournay has been right where she wants to be: a profiler in the major cases bureau, Division 7.
Unfortunately, the director has reassigned her to Special Agent Carter, and neither of them are happy about it. After they stop a devastating attack on Mars, meant to kill thousands and cripple interplanetary travel, Carter and de Tournay discover evidence of other subversive attacks in the system. With time running out, the reluctant partners may be the only ones standing in the way of a conspiracy that stretches all the way from Luna to the Saturn Space Station.
Raven
Revenge is a dish best served in space.
Dozens of children across the Interplanetary Commonwealth have disappeared from their homes. There are no motives, no ransom demands, no bodies, and nothing to connect the victims to each other – except the kidnapper’s signature, a single raven feather left at each scene.
With no progress on the case, it has been reassigned to Special Agent David Carter and his new team of Division 7 agents. Together with his wife, retired agent and profiler Veronique Carter, they must race against the clock--and obstacles within their own agency--to find the missing children before it’s too late.
But the closer they get to the culprit, the more it appears his real target might be them.
