The final Volume of freeper Jeff Head's self-published Dragon's Fury Series of novels, Volume V, Eagle's Talons, a fictional techno-thriller about how current conditions lead to global war, has moved into the #1 featured MSReader eBook position on Powell's. It has also been ranked as the #1 best selling MSReader eBook on Powells and the #2 featured Adobe eBook on the same site.
The printed, trade paperback issue of Volume V will be coming out very soon on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powells and elsewhere.
I'd also like to get on your ping list if that's ok.
Consider it done.
Thank you!
Perfect timing, Jeff. Just wrapping up Volume IV and still getting more impressed (and intrigued, and involved, etc., etc...)
Looking forward to it.
I had to take some time (understandably) with the passing of my dear brother...and then needed to finish Volume V before I could do that...but, as promised, I will get it done and am happy to do so.
Other freeper authors (and this is not a complete list by any stretch) Travis McGee; Jim Macomber; Plusone, snake65 and Mississippi Man have also been pinged.
Guys, Scourge of God has a book coming out soon, Judgement Day, with Tekno Books, a Five Star imprint.
Scourge, we get quite af ew reviews of one another's work here...like this one of one of mine from freeper NorseWood.
Bump for later.
Congrats on the ratings! I've been checking Amazon for the paperback but it hasn't appeared yet.
Will you be offering all five books as a boxed set?
Very happy for you, Jeff. #1 in any category at a place like Powell's is a significant accomplishment. Good for you!

Thanks my friend. We're probably ten days out on the printed version. The printer made a mistake on the first printed proof and I had to reject it...it was the first one I rejeced since Ocotber of 2001. They should be back in the saddle with it tomorrow.
I'm talking with the distributor about some kind of collectors or commemorative edition...but it's still a ways out there. Watch the site, it will be announced there when we decide.
...and if not, well then I am extremely happy with what it has done on its own and with my own meager efforts and the word of mouth it has attained. It's been a great experience.
FYI, as one of the chapter headings in Volume V, I use:
"Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown" - Mathew Riley
FYI...here's the latest. Sorry for any duplicates.
Buuump!
Eagles Talons sounds like a good ending.. I love when the good guys win... The good guys DO WIN don't they... LoL
Here's a Alamo-Girl Downside Legacy BUMP back!
REVIEW from the DFS site:
I finished Dragon's Fury: Eagle's Talons, the fifth volume of Jeff Head's World War III series. Very exciting, and gruesome, ending. I hope reality isn't as bad as his imagination.That's from Bill St. Clair.
I don't agree with Mr. Head on everything, but if the Chinese were to ever attack the U.S. as they do in the first volume of this series, then a war like he imagined will be in order. Unfortunately, they'll probably just sit back and watch us destroy ourselves.
The book was a good read, well worth my $12 (for the Microsoft Reader eBook version). The dead trees version isn't available yet, but it should be soon.
Dragon's Fury bump. Congrats on Volume Five.
