What does a movie-star one-hit-wonder and ex-drug-addict do when he's cleaned up, down on his luck, and running out of money?

In the three years since Jack Palms went clean - no drugs, no drinking, no life -  he's added fourteen pounds of muscle, read 83 books, and played it as straight as anyone can ask him. Now, when an old friend from L.A. calls, he signs on to help a set of Eastern Europeans score enough coke to settle down and set up shop. All Jack has to do is keep them entertained and get them through their purchase.

But when the plan runs into a few problems, and Jack starts getting phone calls from an old friend on the police force, he realizes that this business will take a lot more acting than he first assumed." />

But Kirkland and EarthCore are not the first to find this treasure. The mountain's history reveals two centuries of disappearances, murder, and insanity.

The discovery of ancient platinum knives, razor-sharp despite lying untouched for 1,000 years, reveals evidence of an ancient culture. If the artifacts are genuine, they show a pre-historic empire that once spanned from the Southern tip of South America all the way up through the American Southwest.

Wealth and fame lie under that Utah mountain, but at three miles below the surface, where the rocks are so hot they burn bare skin, something has been waiting for centuries. Waiting ... and guarding. Kirkland and EarthCore are about to find out first-hand why this treasure has never been unearthed.

April 18, 1985 -- Into a world already wound tight with the desperate tensions of the Cold War comes a man with a startling Declaration: Metahumans exist, they demand autonomy, and Dr. William Karl Donner has the reality-bending power to enforce their status.  The balance of power is thrown askew by the addition of not one more Superpower, but &lt;em&gt;six thousand&lt;/em&gt;.

Before the Donner Declaration, high school sophomore Nate Charters was just an outsider and self-proclaimed freak.  His unusual appearance, hair-trigger reflexes, and overactive metabolism should have made him something special, but his differences and low self-esteem have long since marked him as a target for the jocks and popular kids.

Now, just as his unique nature brings him the attention of a self-assured older girl, Nate must find his place in the world.  Why is he the way he is?  Where did he come from?  Is he part of a remarkable, powerful new minority... or just a misfit among misfits?

He'd better find out fast...  others want the truth, and they're closing in...

&lt;b&gt;Praise For &lt;em&gt;&quot;Brave Men Run - A Novel of the Sovereign Era&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&quot;The brilliance of&lt;/em&gt; Brave Men Run &lt;em&gt;is not only in its vision, but its execution. Matthew Wayne Selznick spins a superhero story that transcends predictable ‘grim-n-gritty’ and ‘rock-’em-sock-’em’ conventions, capturing a realism and emotion rarely seen in the genre. Part Stan Lee, part John Hughes..!&quot;&lt;/em&gt; -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jchutchins.net&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;J.C. Hutchins&lt;/a&gt;, author of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.podiobooks.com/podiobooks/search.php?keyword=7th+son&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;7th Son&quot; trilogy&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&quot;Selznick effortlessly spins a strong nostalgia for the ’80s with a fascinating alternate history where the superpowers wake up and may not be entirely hip on the idea of serving the rest of mankind. If Peter Parker had been one of the characters in 'The Breakfast Club,' you would have&lt;/em&gt; Brave Men Run&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.murverse.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mur Lafferty&lt;/a&gt;, author of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.podiobooks.com/title/playing-for-keeps&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Playing for Keeps&quot;&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.podiobooks.com/title/heaven---season-one&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Heaven&quot; series&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&quot;A fantastical novel written with that all-too-rare attention to character and drama… Selznick speaks softly — yet eloquently — and wields a very big literary stick.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://markjeffrey.typepad.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mark Jeffrey&lt;/a&gt;, Ulysses Award-winning author

&lt;em&gt;&quot;This book rocks. It’s engaging, the characters are robust...&lt;/em&gt; Brave Men Run &lt;em&gt;is the finest podcast novel I’ve listened to… A solid story made even better by an exceptional performance by the author, it serves as an example of what a self-produced ‘podiobook’ can be. You won’t be disappointed.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_Terra&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Evo Terra&lt;/a&gt;, founder of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.podiobooks.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Podiobooks.com&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&quot;I thoroughly enjoyed&lt;/em&gt; Brave Men Run &lt;em&gt;for its sympathetic characters, its eighties nostalgia, and its comic industry in-jokes, as well as its thoroughly entertaining story! If John Hughes had written the ‘X-Men’ films, this is what we would have gotten.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://cnvarbiter.livejournal.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Steven H. Wilson&lt;/a&gt;, Parsec Award-winning creator of creator of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prometheusradiotheatre.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Arbiter Chronicles&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&quot;A great read, a real page turner.

&lt;em&gt;&quot;&lt;/em&gt;Brave Men Run &lt;em&gt;is at once fantastical and ordinary, gripping and emotional, shocking and intelligent. I thoroughly enjoyed it.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dreamwords.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Paul Story&lt;/a&gt;, author of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.podiobooks.com/podiobooks/book.php?ID=26&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Tom Corven&quot;&lt;/a&gt; podiobook.&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&quot;Well written, with great dialogue... utterly convincing.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; -- Paul S. Jenkins, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://revup.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=34943#&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Rev-Up Review&lt;/a&gt; podcast.

&quot;Kelly's many-layered story pivots on a set of paradoxes, asking questions about the difference between innocence and willful ignorance, responsibility and balance and the true essence of nature.&quot; --Publisher's Weekly
 
&quot;BURN combines maturity with the adventurous spirit of youth, as though the Mark Twain of HUCKLEBERRY FINN had come back with a yen to write science fiction.&quot; --Locus

&quot;...the warm humanity and rural sympathies of this affectionate, winsome novel will make many recall Ray Bradbury at his best.&quot; --Booklist

Three weeks ago, the U.S. president was murdered by a four-year-old boy.

Today, seven men stare at each other in a locked conference room.  Kidnapped and brought to this underground facility, the strangers are sitting in silence, thunderstruck.  Despite minor physical differences, they all appear to be the same man, with the same name ... and the same childhood memories.

Unwitting participants in a secret human cloning experiment, these seven &quot;John Michael Smiths&quot; have been gathered by their creators for one reason -- to capture the mastermind behind the president's assassination.

Their target? The man they were cloned from; the original John Michael Smith, code-named John Alpha.

Soon our heroes -- John, Jack, Michael, Kilroy2.0 and the others -- realize the president's murder was merely a prologue to Alpha's plans.  As the mystery deepens and the implications of Alpha's scheme are slowly revealed, the clones decide to stand against John Alpha. The outcome will unearth a conspiracy larger than they could have ever imagined.

Descent is the first novel in J.C. Hutchins' 7th Son thriller trilogy.
