“Ethos of Cain” Featured on the “Discourse” YouTube Channel; Plus, Special Bonus: Book 3 Update!

Ethos of Cain, book 1 of The Cain Series, was recently featured on the book-review YouTube channel, Discourse.  You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/v_iqgwbMpqk?si=AVa4wuj6Ijrtab__

It’s a nice review—quite flattering, in fact, as they were impressed by the dialogue, fast pacing, and action sequences—but the presenters only really covered part 1 of Ethos.  They try to keep these videos to about 15 minutes, so I guess they ran out of time before hitting the other 4 parts to the book.  Oh well, more for new readers to discover!

In other news, I am pleased to report that I have completed the first draft of book 3 of The Cain Series.  This latest episodic, near-future, cyberpunk, science fiction novel sees Cain and Francesca drawn into a massive international and transorbital conspiracy, involving war in South America, global politics, commodities market manipulation, and, of course, bold and breathtaking action.  It doesn’t have a title yet (well, it does, but not one I’m ready to release at this time), but it does have a tentative release date: 1 June 2025.  So, now is the perfect time for Santa to stuff a few cyberpunks’ stockings with Ethos of Cain and A Desperate Measure, to get caught up before book 3’s publication in the new year.

Thanks and happy reading!
