Trouble in Paradise: Pirates of the Galactic Empire Updates

/ Author, Brian K. Larson / Leave a comment

That’s right! Pirates of the Galactic Empire: Act 4 is in full swing. I’m at just under 5k for the Prologue (Chapter 0.5) and Chapter 1 is a wrap. On to Chapter 2 and beyond.

I don’t have a specific time for completion, but I’d like to see this wrapped up by years end.

Here’s some eye candy to prep you for what’s in store. What antics will the cybernetically enhanced Chimpanzee named, Bob, do?

Accompanying the crew are Cousin Otto, the enhanced orangutan, and our pirate extraordinaire, Sean Finnigan. His wife, Petra the Slayer, is also riding along with Duncan. Of course, Maximilian and his onboard AI computer, Claire, are all involved as well.

Ah yes, Paradise. That’s the one-hundred-mile long by forty-mile-wide habitat now occupying the Strilia system. All seems quiet as the GSF (Galactic Space Forces) have withdrawn most patrols from the Tarini Trade Lanes. Behind the scenes, President Dino Mathews is already preparing his revenge. He plans to implant an updated Cybers chip in George. George is a silver back gorilla that the GSF has had for many years. He’s been taught sign language and has been indoctrinated in the GSF. This new chip is the CB7-ER6 model, an upgrade from the CB7-ER5. Once his chip has been installed, he’ll be shipped over to the Pirate’s Habitat, Paradise.

Once George arrives, there truly will be ‘Trouble in Paradise.’

/ Author, Brian K. Larson / Leave a comment

There’s so much going on, it’s been difficult making any updates here. Still, I just completed the first Salvage-5 rebooted audiobook. It’s scheduled for release on June 28th. That’s just next month. You can preorder on Spotify. Just go to the picture.

Progress is continuing on the Warlords Saga II audiobook; I’m now halfway finished with the final book, Return to Revein’sev.

I’m forecasting this being completed by fall… hopefully…

The biggest news is that my very first book I’ve ever written, is now in audiobook production.

That’s right. Secret of the Crystal: Brothers, is now underway. With the first chapter completed, I now have a five minute retail sample for your listening enjoyment.

I wrote this book over eleven years ago and was the very first book I ever wrote.

This scene, from chapter 1, where our hero’s brother, Jhovahkan has assembled his top officers. He begins to explain to them, that he is taking Jhahnahkan’s ship from him.

This clip also demonstrates just how evil Jhovahkan really is…

Well, it has begun. Book 6 in the Warlords franchise, Return to Revein’sev, is now officially underway. This book takes Race Jennings, Danielle Cooper, Darnash and Empress Ruki back to the realm.

Here’s the book teaser to tantalize your mind (after all, I do spark your imaginations.)

In this sixth Warlords installment, Danielle once again teams up with Darnash, Race Jennings and Ruki Grey’con, who must begin a quest to return a sick little Chipper to the Realm. It all begins as an innocent plan to save the squirrel-like creature from dying in their world. But when they return to the Realm, they’re faced with a new dilemma; one that must require a sacrifice.

Will they choose the right path before it’s too late to save the Antarians from extinction?
What happens next will shock you.

The Bron Vis’Ka has overcome the Kron’Shulooka and healed the Antarians of being Warlords…

… But at what cost? Will the price be too high? Find out in this series finale, Return to Revein’sev…

Now that you’ve read the book teaser, I’m sure you would be interested in a sound bite. Okay, good! Here is the prologue that will further tantalize your brain.

So, if you find yourself intrigued, click on that picture for the Amazon link to the eBook.

Enjoy and keep your mind sparking imaginations.

Time Dimensions: Exciting Progress Update

/ Author, Brian K. Larson / Leave a comment

Well, it’s official. Time Dimensions: The Adventure Continues (Time Series Book 4) has reached the half way point. I will be wrapping up recording the last 3 chapters tomorrow. Then, it’s just editing and producing all the sound effects and background scores and it’s done.

Pretty excited about getting this one completed. It’s an epic time travel adventure, that you’ll not want to miss.

Here’s the five minute retail sample I’ve selected for this work, for your listening pleasure.

Here’s the teaser for Time Dimensions:

Jonas Arnell and Tipper Montgomery return in this action-packed adventure. Follow along to a place that crosses the time dimensional gap. The dimensional fabric that separates the two universes has torn. As a result, vortexes start to open and close. These vortexes threaten to destroy this universe.

Now, it’s a race with time as they search for the rest of their crew. Then, they must seal the breach between the two universes before this one collapses.

 

I’ve already started working on redoing all of the Salvage-5 titles. They will all be finished with my voice. All of these will have accompanying sound effects and music scores to enhance your listening experience.

I’ll will start with Salvage-5: The First Mission, since the current contract with the first narrator expires this June. I will then continue with the three extra titles. They are ‘Next Mission,’ ‘Another Mission,’ and ‘Final Mission.’

These titles wrap up the Salvage-5 franchise.

Finally, I’m continuing to work on Return to Revein’sev. This is the single copy which will finish the two book edition, Warlords: Saga II.

 

 

 

 


 


   There is a lot going on and some very exciting times coming in this new year of 2025.

Happy New Year 2025. Let’s make this new year prosperous.

/ Author, Brian K. Larson / Leave a comment

Greetings one and all. Just a quick update while I’m finishing the final thee chapters to this series finale. Here is the teaser for the new release. This will be out in the next couple months, once editing is completed. I’ll be creating the preorder on Amazon and Draft 2 Digital in the coming week.

In the meantime, enjoy this teaser and eye candy…

Colonel Tucker Petersen, has been isolated in a new place within the core artificial reality simulator, or CARS programming. Echo-reality is much different from the simulated realities they’ve seen before. The colonel is no longer the colonel. Rather, Tucker is now a lieutenant, and the child prodigy and whiz-kid, Buster Clark, is now the colonel. There are few things similar that Tucker recognizes. There are also new challenges, that Tucker must overcome to keep everyone from thinking he’s gone mad.

Tucker’s team now battles the core artificial intelligence entity. They must create a new conduit, to bridge them to this new section within the core. They need to do this to free Tucker.

Come join Tucker and team in this, high velocity, action packed, series finale. Will they reach Tucker in time before Echo-reality is collapsed? Ride with our no-nonsense, whiskey drinkin’, cigar chomping hero, and find out in this exiting conclusion.

Colonel Tucker Petersen: Return in Mind-Bending Trilogy Finale

/ Author, Brian K. Larson / Leave a comment

It’s incredibly crazy to be on the final 5 chapters in this three book trilogy, Eye’s Wide Shut.

So today, I wanted to share with you this eye candy that will be the cover for this series.

I’m super excited for this trilogy to come out. It’s extremely mind-bending and action-packed fun.

“The crew of Salvage-5 returns to 15-Eunomia, but the crew aren’t who you think they are. Major Gus Jameson leads a team of two ships, to rescue Colonel Tucker Petersen and his crew. Things are not as they seem as Tucker, and is crew of five, have to be convinced their minds are inside an alien computer generated simulation.

Will Tucker and crew awaken in time to exit the alien complex?”

Won’t be long before you can ride along, once again, with the cigar chopping, whiskey drinkin’, no-nonsense hero, Colonel Tucker Petersen.

I’m thinking, this will be all wrapped up by the end of the month, provided life doesn’t get in the way. Which, it can and has 😱😂 And this will be ready for this holiday season in December or before.

So, stay tuned for when this will be ready to release.
