After working on Marvel and other games and traveling the world, Jamie Hawke decided to settle down and write fun, quirky, and sexy pulp science fiction and superhero books.

You'll find his harem gamelit books in Kindle Unlimited and Audio, and might want to start with Supers: Ex Heroes 1. The book reached #47 in the Amazon store, including #1 Bestseller in multiple categories (to include Superhero, Cyberpunk, and Colonization).

It all started when Jamie was eleven, creating nude superhero comics with his best friend. What perverts! But hey, they were fun and provided good fodder for jokes up into their adult years. Now the stories have evolved, but they capture that same level of fun. Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as the author loved writing them!

Jamie also spent five years in Marine Corps intelligence, studied Muay Thai in Thailand, and lived in Japan for over three years. A lot of this plays into Jamie's books.

Winning and yet not

Alternate universe, magic, fantasy races, save the world(s), harem adult situations

At the end, LitRPG elements were abandoned, and even once the battles were done, the women were OP powerful, yet still trapped (cursed, if you will) as gargoyles, with future quests to complete. Maybe the story is done? Kinda sorta? Doesn't feel like a real ending, and, after reading all three volumes, why would I want to buy an omnibus that contains all three books I just finished? I like the other stories and series, but this felt without a direction at the end, that having united the Celtic mythos with new leaders, they needed to go to Egypt next, but no book is planned?

And the whole "impersonate the senator" idea seemed pointless, it was a red herring that had nothing to do with revealing enemy spellcasters, yet everything to do with Galahad and his people retaining political power but under false Jericho es; the senator died, and in America, that means someone else gets the mantle, and then another election is held. I thought this idea in the TV series "Heroes" was idiotic then, and it doesn't work here either. The world changed and we need a new system because fantasy races need a say in things? Fine. But holding onto power under false pretences? Too close to home in real life, and those who espouse that type tend not to saviors but rather corrupt leaders desperate to retain power at all costs rather than believing in the system they swore oaths to defend and abide by.

Ultimately, I felt like the story lost cohesion and the author got tired of it, didn't know how to resolve it, or book sales didn't support writing more books in the series. Were we supposed to think Jericho eventually grew so OP he surpassed any LitRPG system? Is Rianne and some of those still missing on another plane or world? Hints of that, but yet another bit unresolved for us. But Jericho gets to sleep with his six ladies, he gets to use magic to somewhat modify his refractory period and maybe tweak the dimensions of his male bits, they get to travel, party, and have fun, so yay?

Fun Series

I've truly enjoyed these three books. Filled with fast paced action and adventure, along with a bit of spice. The saga of magic and mystery was excellent. I'm sorry that the series is done, hopefully Jamie will pick it up again. Do yourself a favor and read these books!

A great ending

I would say that this was my favorite of the trilogy. Finally filling in the blanks from previous books and tying a nice bow on the story, at least for now

First 2 books was pretty good. But being uber mage and then need to get into politics just makes the story bad and it brings nothing to the story.

This series has it all. A ton of action and an excellent storyline. I hope to see Jericho in future books. All 3 books are 5 star in my opinion. If you like harem and action then you’ll love this series

Thrilling

The story was great and I felt that it had me pulled in for the whole story.
I also felt I couldn't stop reading so I ended up finishing it in less then a day.
