I just got the go ahead to debut the front cover, which is already on the sidebar and on the Books Page. The prequel to The Substitute, set roughly a year before that novel began, Aurelius is a hard-charging action novella with a few appended, related short stories. The title matter, along with the final story, finds the one and only Tom Ironsides blasting his way through a host of Epstein-esque baddies. They, of course, don’t stand a chance. Coming this summer from Green Altar Books.
