Mercenaries of Atlantis

Bronze Age Sword and Sorcery meets Military Fantasy in a lost world of long ago… Flying Ace Mason “Mace” Dickson was once a legend among fighter pilots. During his middle years in the 1970's, that glory is a fading memory—until a black-book NASA flight test hurls him into a brutal world forgotten by time. Waking on the blood-soaked sands of an ancient battlefield, Mace finds himself far from the cockpit: this is hand-to-hand savagery where arcane spells kill as quickly as spear or sword. Shanghaied into the Black Legion, a renowned company of mercenaries fighting under the banner of the mighty Atlantian Army of the West, Mace is thrust into the siege of the fabled City of Serpents. As the tip of the spear against the power-mad Thuman Evol, commander of red sorcerers, armored war-dinosaurs, and legions of grim warriors. Mace must adapt to gritty grunt infantry warfare, massive war machines, and strange sorcery. In this no-holds-barred military fantasy, soldiers, NCOs, and battle captains clash with the enemy and each other for eternal honor, glory, and ultimate power. Out of his depth yet driven by ruthless necessity, Mace confronts his deepest inner demons. The burning desire to return to his wife and daughter for one last chance at redemption after a life surrendered to fading glory and the bottle fuels his survival through deadly magicks, backstabbing intrigues, and the utter savagery of lost Atlantea. Book 1 in the Mercenaries of Atlantis series. Perfect for fans of gritty military fantasy, sword and sorcery, and high-stakes redemption tales—where a modern warrior is forged in the crucible of an ancient hell.
