Starships in the Abyss #11
Leviathan : An Epic Space Opera/Alternate Universe/Alien Invasion Adventure
What’s worse than deranged godlike aliens? A vampiric deranged godlike alien!
When Jim and his friends succeed in killing the Aax’ods by opening a portal to the Crimson Universe, he figures they’ll have peace and quiet for a while.
But boy, is he wrong!
One day, out of nowhere and all across the galaxy, thousands of portals are open to the monster world, and trillions of beasts pour out. So many that they simply wash over the Federation’s forces, and that’s before they start to multiply exponentially.
How can Jim stop this new, unimaginable threat?
Or can he?
Pick up Leviathan , the final installment in Earth Saga , and find out for yourself!
Note from the author: This is a dark and gritty reboot of the humorous Crimson Deathbringer series. Please see “From the Author” for more information. If you’ve read and enjoyed the original series, I don’t think you should read this; you’ll probably hate it. On the other hand, if you read The Crimson Deathbringer and liked the story but not the comedy, maybe give this version a chance.

Well, not really, but this should tell you all you need to know about me and my writing style.
I'm a huge Marvel (plus Game of Thrones, Star Trek AND Star Wars) fan, which shows since my novel is loaded with pop culture references. If you are a sci-fi fan (I assume that you are, otherwise what are you doing here?) you will enjoy them tremendously. I even went full Deadpool in my first draft and broke the fourth wall multiple times, until my editor told it was distracting and kept taking her out of the moment. Shame. Those fourth-wall breaks were hilarious. Still, I can guarantee a few laugh-out-loud moments. Case in point: The "good" aliens in my novel are a race of pranksters, whose main goal in life is pulling other people's legs (They have four legs, hence the slight change in the idiom). My favorite author is Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files), which is probably how I ended up writing in a first-person POV with the same light-hearted, funny tone as he does. The fact that my MC's name is Jim is purely coincidental though.
I am a university/college level English teacher, and including Canada, I have lived and worked in five different countries. I have met people from all around the world. Plus, my parents are from a different background, and so is my wife. As a result, diversity has become a major theme in my novel. My characters look like the bridge crew from Star Trek. One of my female characters even impersonated Uhura once, albeit posthumously.

Read the entire series
Ok so overall the series is good read, great references (Joey Tempest, The Final Countdown, Star Trek, a bunch of movies), which is great, but can be a bit hard to follow. Not terribly so, just that you might have to re-read a page or two, to understand what is going on. It does follow a.classic soap opera where people disappear and then come back to life and then the multi verse thing,but all in all well worth reading thru the entire series, so go ahead and read it all.

Great book.
This book had it all . Plenty of action both on the ground and in space . The vampire race under estimated the good guys and paired for it dearly .There was a lot of surprises in this book and the series was excellent and well worth reading . Give it a try and I think you will like it as much as I did.
