Posted on March 17, 2010May 30, 2014 by Percival Constantine

Beautiful. Cunning. Deadly. These are just a few of the words that describe Angela Lockhart, former operative of the mysterious Agency. Now working as an assassin for an international syndicate called Infernum, led by a mysterious power broker known only as Dante, Lockhart has become the ‘Most Wanted’ for every major law enforcement agency in the world. But when Agency operative Christian Pierce begins a dangerous game of deception to try and bring her back into the fold, Angela will find herself torn between her old life and her new one…

“The author’s able to impart both important information and character bits through the words that the characters share and it helps keep the book moving. This is a fast read — I literally finished it in two days without really trying to. The action scenes really sparkle and are definitely one of the author’s strengths.”
-Barry Reese, author of The Rook series

“There’s a rhythm to certain stories: a beat that echoes the story-spikes in the plot. Like a heart beat. For some stories, it’s a soft thing. A whisper of information, an undercurrent that gently prods and pokes and pulls the story towards its resolution. Quiet and subtle. For other stories, it’s a bit louder. More visceral. A rampaging, roaring sonnet that threatens the senses as it plunges towards a fiery finale. Ronnie James Dio in Times New Roman, twelve point. Percival Constantine’s new book, Love & Bullets, is of the latter variety. The title is apt…it’s a red romance, a pretty Valentine’s Day box of chocolates full of spent brass casings and broken promises.”
–Josh Reynolds, author of The Executioner: Border Offensive

Chasing The Dragon

Brenda McKenzie is a single mother working double-shifts as a waitress and struggling to make ends meet. But Brenda’s life gets turned upside down when her teenage daughter, Alyssa, runs away with Ryan Cunningham, her heroin-dealing boyfriend. With the police providing no assistance, Brenda feels all hope is lost.

Until the day a strange man offers his help. His name is Riker Stone and he has a monster lurking inside him–literally. Riker’s quest will lead him to Ryan as well as the people who support him. And in his search for revenge, Riker will leave a trail of bodies.

From Percival Constantine, the author of Fallen, comes a bloodspilling, ultraviolent tale of vengeance in a noir style.

“At its core, it’s a tough crime novel. For an over-saturated market, it would actually stand out quite a bit because it’s better written than some of the stuff out there with moments where it actually borders on some of the better contemporary crime writers.”
-Green Valleyside Productions

Fallen

Posted on March 7, 2007May 30, 2014 by Percival Constantine

After the creation of the Earth and the birth of Man, the Presence seemingly vanished from existence. Once the angels and demons discovered that mortals possessed souls, they became locked in an endless conflict for ownership over mankind. But Gabriel, once the leader of Heaven’s forces, felt humanity should be allowed to live in peace. For his transgression, he was stripped of his wings and expelled from Heaven. Now, centuries later, the wars of man have brought the world to ruin. Man’s once-vaunted technology has regressed. Lance Kells, a drifting writer with no direction in his life, inadvertantly stumbles upon this war and finds himself trapped in the middle of it. As Lance tries to uncover the truth, he will encounter a host of intriguing characters, from a hard-drinking, pink-haired avatar of death to an elderly Native American mystic. During his journey, Lance will discover a method of ending a conflict as old as time, as well as a disturbing secret which links him to Gabriel.

“Combines elements of science fiction, horror both psychological and gory, Navajo mysticism, Christian dogma, action/adventure, comedy and even the modern day comic book (or graphic novels if you take your inner geek seriously) all wrapped up in a road trip. This is a book that will never make the mistake of letting you get bored. You’ll want to keep turning the pages just to see what new and innovative plot twist Percival is going to throw into the mix.”
-Derrick Ferguson, author of Dillon and the Legend of the Golden Bell
