Aegis
Not all shields are unbreakable.
Some shatter.
Even fewer rebuild.
All 16 year old Kyle Ross ever wanted to be was a superhero, one of the Warriors. Any injury healed faster, each fight made him stronger, and every wound was never replicated. Like the mythological shield of the gods, Kyle became Aegis, a shield against evil.
Journey with Kyle 'Aegis' Ross through triumph and failure, with allies against super powered foes, and the emotional upheaval of love and loss. A discovery of who he is, and who he wants to be, against the backdrop of fantastical battles as every step brings him closer to a destiny he isn't aware of.
A fate his maniacal enemy already knows.
Join Aegis as he laces up his boots and answers the age old question: what is a hero?

About the author
R.L. Arenz III
1 book6 followersBorn and raised in Florida, R.L. (EEAAARRL) got the privilege of living in both rural and urban settings. Everything from cow tipping and roman candle freeze tag to Chinese fire drills in the middle of University Avenue and walking through the Taco Bell drive through late at night for those wonderful 3-cheese burritos (Bring them back!). Working a very wide assortment of jobs allowed him to experience employment environments in almost every atmosphere. Yet it was the love of books, inspired and ingrained by his mother, that whispered dreams of one day completing a novel of his own.
Life, as it is want to do, intervened and distracted the aspiring author. Combined with a long streak of procrastination, his dreams were continually placed on the back burner, while dinner for his kids was on the front. Yet it was creating fantastical stories to tell his children, the foray into a variety of play-by-post sites (Star Wars of course), and the voices of unsung characters screaming to have their stories told that finally prompted him to crack his knuckles and dive into writing.
And never forget hosting his very own Science Mystery Theater 3000 episodes alongside his cousin and the oft powerbombed, Mr Moose. God rest his soul. The moose not the cousin.
In the end, three things saw him through.
To show his kids to follow their dreams.
To fulfill a passion that beats in his heart.
And the hope that, once the books are published, the characters sharing his brain would return his sanity. Or the little which remained.
R.L. currently lives in Florida with his five children, the entire race of mosquitos, and the often reported 'Florida Man'.
And no, R.L. isn't the Florida man.
Just a man.
That lives in Florida.
Still.

I love a superhero novel with emotion and plenty of pugilism. R.L. Arenz III's Aegis has both. Kyle Ross is a super Everyman, a regular guy gifted, who laces up his boots and keeps doing what he believes.
Also, Clay is a freaking hoot.
