Afterword
If you enjoyed this book and read it for free on Wattpad you'd be doing me the hugest favour if you added a quick blurb/review to the Amazon page. What I make from Amazon will help me write more of John and Echo's adventures. Do it now and I'll be forever grateful. Thank you.

Assassination Politics in the real world
Jim Bell has had more trouble with the FBI than anyone I know. As I type he's in jail again and due for release sometime in 2012. He's a guy I'd sure like to interview. In the meantime for a regularly updated summary of what he's doing and how the concept has been used in recent years check his wikipedia entry.

Train like John Savage
If you're in Europe and fancy learning NRA approved tactical firearms either one of their land based 3-gun shooting systems or sea based programs then I can't recommend Damocles GMBH enough. If you check the private security forums, you'll find the same recommendations there. They also run a Covert Intelligence & Surveillance Operators program that is second to none.

Real Life Clubs
The Kitty Kat Klub takes its inspiration from the modern Killing Kittens – the network for the sexual elite and the more political 18th century Kit Cat club with a bit of the Hellfire Club thrown in for good measure (their cave complex just outside High Wycombe, England, is well worth a visit), find out more below:

Olivier's the jazz club actually exists, but is used fictionally in this novel. It's one of my favourite little bars in London. It's not for the glitterati, but definitely for jazz lovers.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!
