Join indie author Jason Shannon as he narrates a sample chapter from his magnum opus, The Hounds of Harujin. The Hounds of Harujin is a 1,200 page epic of global conquest and a neo-Mongol Empire. Join dozens of characters as they navigate this post-apocalyptic hellscape - the crown prince who gave up his birthright for a desert monastery, the vigilante assassin, the underground arms dealer, the three-breasted concubine twirling the khan around her little finger, and the sixteen-year-old girl struggling to find her way in a Mongol-dominated world:

First, there was Attila, who savaged Rome and committed genocide from Asia Minor to Gaul. He was a Mongol, who wandered in from the east, and took up the sword for gold, girls and glory. Then came Genghis, the founder of the nation, who surged outwards from the steppe and wreaked annihilation across two continents. He was a Mongol, who made graveyards of China and the Middle East and left his seed in half the women of Eurasia. Then came Tamerlane, who swirled out of Samarkand like a whirlwind, leaving towers of human skulls and a tidal wave of blood enough to drown an army – and their horses. He was a Mongol, that butchered from India to the shores of Europe, and terrified the Middle East for a half millennium with his curse....

Then came Harujin, who, on the crest of an energy crisis and economic collapse, raised his scimitar like a standard, and charged his horses outwards from Mongolia to usher in the new world epoch....

In Australia, the khan’s nephew is assassinated by roadside phantoms. But the khan is more concerned with the chests of his concubines than with Australian dissidence or family outrage. The Mad Queen of Queensland is livid at the death of her son, tensions are mounting between the metropolitan heir apparent and the older, war hardened brother. In the desert, the khan’s reclusive daughter cultivates a reputation for murdering her husbands. A young woman is offered for the khan’s growing harem, but finds herself the tool of something much bigger. And as the feuding family tensions come to a head, the khan is forced to reach out to his estranged son, and bring him back from a Buddhist monastery to solve a murder....

Rain's Agenda: 

The Third World has collapsed, and is dominated by gangsters and pirates. A twenty-year-old tabloid princess, nude sunbathing pictures all over the net and who once ordered a sex bot to her hotel room on a royal embassy, is all that prevents a nuclear war with Russia. In South America, terrorists are torching the Amazon, and decades-old tension between the Americans and the French prevent cooperation to hunt them down. And the Chinese are on top of the world.

Enter John Galveston, a suave, debonair, and vulgar grey marketeer. In a cashless society, he exclusively uses paper yuan, and bounces around the world selling anything and everything. He’ll come face to face with these fanatical terrorists, and in the process, find himself in an anarchic black hole – two thirds of South America is rumoured to be either an anarchist wasteland, or paradise. Yet that is only one mystery surrounding the enigmatic nation of Andea....

The soccer vs. football debate rages on. It's Called Soccer" is a historical fiction set in the British Empire. The story follows Sir Lionel Kensington, a British lord stationed in the remote southern lands of the empire, and his interactions with his American guest, Lieutenant-Colonel Cletus McCormint, and the female guests of the estate. The story is set in the Georgian era and is full of colonial stereotypes, including differences in social classes, cultural norms, and beliefs. The narrative highlights the contrast between the refined British society and the uncouth American culture, and explores the power dynamics between the two nations. Despite the differences, the two lords bond over a shared love of hunting and billiards, but their relationship is not without tension. The story concludes with Sir Lionel having a brilliant epiphany, which he shares with his wife, Eleanor.
