Updates!

Thrilled that the fourteenth book in the Lazarus Gray series is finally out — I wanted to do something really special for that volume and pitting Lazarus against one of the greatest fictional villains of all time seemed the perfect way to do it. The story has twists-and-turns aplenty, revealing more about Lazarus Gray’s family tree and introducing some new villains along the way… and it wouldn’t be a Fantomas story without some deaths, too. Be prepared to say goodbye to a longstanding supporting cast member or two….

I’m working on the sixth book in the Dark Society series, which you’re still a few years away from being introduced to. When I’m finished with this one, I think I’ll either do something completely new or return to the Lazarus Gray series for volume sixteen (yes, fifteen has already been written!).

I think Straw-Man Volume Two is going to be the next Reese Unlimited release but for now, let’s focus on spreading the word about Lazarus Gray 14!

Press Release: Lazarus Gray vs. Fantomas!

SOVEREIGN CITY’S GREATEST HERO TAKES ON FICTION’S MOST HEINOUS VILLAIN! THE ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME FOURTEEN DEBUTS! PRO SE’S ‘THE YEAR OF REESE UNLIMITED’ BEGINS!

From the author imprint of scribe Barry Reese comes perhaps his greatest and best-known creation in yet another collection of action and pulp intrigue. THE ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME FOURTEEN!

He is a legend mentioned in fearful whispers. He is a faceless, heartless, savage destructive force of nature. If the Devil were vomited from the darkest pit of Hell into this man’s path, he would grudgingly concede that he encountered a creature whose soul was black with deeds so cruel that they made him turn away in disgust.

In the City of Light, he is a darkness unending, but he has turned his gaze towards a goal that lies an ocean away in Sovereign City, and he will not be denied. He is an unrelenting evil known to many by a single name.

FANTOMAS.

And he is unlike any foe that Lazarus Gray and Assistance Unlimited has ever faced.

THE ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME FOURTEEN by Barry Reese, from Reese Unlimited and Pro Se Productions, is the first volume in Pro Se’s ‘THE YEAR OF REESE UNLIMITED’. Twelve works written by or based on concepts created by Barry Reese as a part of his author imprint will be released, once a month, throughout 2024.

With an atmospheric, gritty cover by Gilbert Monsanto and print formatting by Sean Ali, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME FOURTEEN is available for 12.99 via Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/2n7dp37n.

Reese’s latest entry in his longest running series to date is also available on Kindle formatted by Antonino lo Iacono and Marzia Marina for $2.99 at http://tinyurl.com/3taywkr2. Kindle Unlimited Members can read this exciting tale for free!

Background

Harper Riley was an 17 year old girl living with her grandmother when she received an usual spam message to her phone. Recognizing that this same message had been reported on in the news as being terrifying and inducing violent activities in those that watched it, Harper decided to risk it and see what the fuss was about. What she saw was incredibly disturbing and she felt suddenly compelled to kill her grandmother… but she was able to tap into her latent mental abilities to resist the urges, especially once she was discovered by the Fear Devil, who stayed with her until the threat passed. Harper was then introduced to the Dark Society and learned of her own powers, which led her to ask to be trained and inducted into the team. During her stay with the Dark Society, another member of the team encountered the spirit of a dead witch from another Earth — this witch provided them with a Sword of Light, which would bond with an appropriate person and make them the defender of Mother Nature. Harper ended up being that person, meeting with the spirit of the Earth herself, who charged her with its defense. As the Noomancer, Harper has become the newest member of the Society. Her name comes from an esoteric study she had made of the noosphere – a postulated sphere or stage of evolutionary development dominated by consciousness, the mind, and interpersonal relationships. The planet Earth has moved into this phase, the noosphere, and had chosen Harper to guide it through the new era.

She was later captured by Doctor Strange who sought to revive his home reality by feeding Kahhori and his other prisoners to the Forge. Kahhori managed to escape and joined forces with Captain Carter to stop Strange, and as they succeeded, The Watcher returned Kahhori home.
