A galaxy on the verge of war...

An alien with an attitude ...

That's a dangerous combination.


Adam Cain is BACK ... and ready for more alien ass-kicking!


From international bestselling science fiction author T.R. Harris here is the 2nd Book in his new space opera series set in the universe of The Human Chronicles Saga , a thrilling tale of Human Superiority in the galaxy.

The Adam Cain Chronicles

Book #2: Empires

Why do bad things keep happening to our heroes, Adam Cain, Sherri Valentine and Riyad Tarazi? It's just their luck.

It was supposed to be a peace conference, designed to bring the galaxy back down from the brink of war. But why they picked Capt. Cain's Bar & Grill as the location of the high-level talks is anyone's guess. And now a deadly conspiracy reveals itself, leaving Adam, along with the other Humans on Liave-3, running for their lives, accused of a political assassination they didn't commit.

Now a desperate race is underway to find the alien assassin so they can clear their names and bring the real leaders of the conspiracy to justice. Can they do it? Really? You have to ask.

Empires is rip-roaring space opera adventure set smack dab in the middle of the lawless Dead Zone, the location of a hundred ravaged worlds left in the wake of one of Adam's old enemies--the Mad Aris Kracion. The Zone is a gold-rush-like region where salvagers, pirates and scoundrels all fight over their piece of the pie. And in the center of all this skullduggery is the oasis planet of Liave-3, the home of Capt. Cain's Bar & Grill .

The Adam Cain Chronicles takes Adam and his friends back their basic raw talents, as supermen among the aliens of the galaxy. Set in the familiar universe of The Human Chronicles Saga , this series rediscovers the wonder and excitement of the earlier books, when it was just Human vs. Alien. It also retains all the humor, witty banter and gritty realism of the first series. Each novel in The Adam Cain Chronicles is written to be a stand-alone work, able to be read by old and new fans alike.

So, if you've never experienced an Adam Cain adventures before, this is a great place to start. And for existing fans, you'll find all of the elements you loved in The Human Chronicles Saga ... and more!

The ride is about to start! Pick up your copy of Empires today.

And don't miss volume three-- Battle Plan --coming in February 2020.

I'm glad Humans are so admired in the Universe!

Adam Cain and company are sought for the assassination of a friend. Now the whole planet is after them! Somehow, they have to prove their innocence before another war starts! As usual, Adam and friends have the odds stacked against them and this time could be their last.
Great characters, a terrific storyline told excellently by a master storyteller created another exciting chapter to the Human story! This is a great read!

Robert's Review and Comments

Tremendous, audacious and extremely entertaining. I like the group depicted in this story, you should keep them together for an adventure or two. Peanut's idea has merit, you could build several adventures around the DZ like you did towards the end of this book. Thanks for a GoodRead.

Another in the new chronicles of Adam Cain and his friends. These are shorter novels with TR releasing one per month. Good escapism f try I’m daily issues. I really liked the longer series of The Human Chronicles and am not sure I like these as much but I love TRs ability to story tell and he usually has lots of twists so it is hard to predict the outcome and I really like that.

T.R. Harris keeps on coming

Adam Cain is now solidly established as a convincing James Bond/F.D.R. personality that holds your attention constantly. Harris reigns as an incredible story teller. May his pen never run dry!

Adam Cain. Purchase now.

If the name Adam Cain doesn't make you purchase it immediately, go get book one in The Human Chonicles, then come back here once you're caught up.
