POW
DEATH COMES WITH THE THUNDER is an action/adventure set in modern day London. It is centered on terrorism - though this time the IRA isn't the bad guy. It is fast-paced with a human element.
I very seldom enter contests but I got crazy with this one: FINAL DRAFT BIG BREAK SEMI FINALS, Quarter Finals in the 2013 SCREEN CRAFT SCREENWRITING FELLOWSHIP, and Semi-Finals in the 2014 SCREEN WORLD AWARDS. Here is what one reader said:
"... the overall narrative trajectory is a relentless one, with commercial potential... The daunting, seedy, secondary characters are extremely well evoked in particular. Megan's history with them is hinted at in the most tantalizing ways. Burk and Tomas are fantastic in their interactions together, and prove to be strong foils to each other... once the friction amplifies, it's effortlessly engaging. The climactic events of the third act are especially distinct and successful - by now, the audience is fully riveted...

Outpost Seven
​Darius II
"James Brandt's new novel Outpost Seven is a 'must read.' His characters are dynamic and his story is so compelling that I stayed up until four in the morning to finish the novel. The world he has created is both wondrous and terrifying, and left me wanting more. It is a masterful blend of Sci-Fi and Fantasy that will satisfy all readers."
Linda J Fryant
author of R.O.C. and Rohle and Newhalem
It is on the edge of the Human Empire, about as far away from the war as it is possible to travel and still remain in known space. When Baron Storm Hawkins sends is only surviving heir, Jason, on a mission to give him a taste of leadership, he had no idea that the survival of Mankind would rely on his son’s actions -- or that Jason would fall desperately in love with the one woman he was most forbidden to possess.
