    eBook
    THE PERFECT WEAPON HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN.Jarrod Hawkins, a security contractor with a troubled past, is ushered into an underground facility where a group of DARPA scientists use his body for biotechnological research. They use genetic editing, nanomachinery, neural rewriting, and next-generation armor to turn him into the most fearsome weapon on earth. But as they push the limits of human performance and lethality, the facility begins to experience unexpected power outages. There is evidence of sabotage, and the security team is plagued with sickening pranks. There is only one explanation—their creation has turned against them. As the experiment nears its completion, Jarrod struggles to understand his new abilities. His memories have been shattered, but his instincts scream at him to escape at any cost. On the outside, he has become a machine of war, but inside, the remnant of his former self fights for control. As a team of surgeons prepare for a final operation, Jarrod must make a choice: Will he let them take control of his mind, or will he use his enhancements to break free? Will he become a perfect soldier, or the most fearsome vigilante the world has ever known?

    C. Ryan Carlson

    Paperback (Midnight Gremlin Publishing, June 17, 2019)
    Cats don't kill presidents. CONSPIRACIES do.At first sight, Minus Allswell could very well be the most paranoid individual you could possibly meet. And rightfully so. This pale-orange tabby knows that some at the CIA want the president dead, he's a member of the conspiracy—but one that wants no part of it. He's spent the better part of the last two years embedded at the Dallas County Library, stocking shelves and filling orders. Waiting. And now, with only one week to go before the balloon goes up, he has yet to unravel the plot; to bring to justice the ghouls responsible. Just one more week… And he's in the dark. With not only the president's life, but the fate of the free world resting in his paws, he's forced to contend with his handler, a CIA squirrel that seems to be equal parts alcohol, and masochist; an altruistic bobcat, with his “book to change the world”; and, perhaps the key to it all, the gifted Federal Investigations Bureau agent—a housecat raised by the Owl. About the author: Wishing to remain relatively anonymous, while himself changing the world, author C. Ryan Carlson has dedicated himself to investing 2/3rd of the profit he makes from THE FINE OWL SOLUTION, into readers of the series. Details of this open invitation are included within.
