Stephen walked into the office which Barnabas was using as his judge’s chamber. While the massive amount of data Bethany Anne’s team was throwing at him was more than enough to assuage his curiosity, he had never felt this way in the last 152 years.
He wanted a vacation.
He pulled the top manila-folder and took a look at the name, “Clarissa Bernier, CEO”. He opened the folder, and it was now in the agreed upon fashion. There was one page with her typical information of name, age, location, and a two paragraph background and the requested punishment. It was a type of joke now between Barnabas and Bethany Anne. No matter the requested punishment, she would strike it out and write “Death” and put a happy face on, with fangs.
It let him know that she was not letting up on her desire to make a lot of people pay for Michael’s death.
The team had already executed six individuals across the world in the last three months. Sean Truitt was just the first one.
Stephen interrupted him, “You look tired,” he spoke as he took a seat in one of the two blue chairs facing Barnabas’s desk.
Barnabas leaned back, keeping the folder open, “Is she serious?” He pointed to the document, “Even ADAM, using our agreed punishment matrix, is calling for this lady to be punished financially.” He closed the folder, “She walks the line towards Michael all the time, brother…”

Please note, there is flagrantly foul language in these novels. The main character does not have a problem with cussing, just uninspired cussing.
Series includes:

Awesome Military Scifi series, looking forward to more. Ran across the Rise of Magic series and was intrigued, so decided to purchase all 16 books in the Kurtherian Gambit series. I then spent the next 4 days reading all 16 of them, then moving on to the Second Dark Ages and Trials and Tribulations series. This is a very entertaining and intriguing take on Vampires and Werewolves. I am eagerly awaiting book 17. And while there were warnings about the cussing in the book I found them to be hilarious. As far as military Scifi goes, I would easily rate…
A storyline that just gets better. Hats off to Michael and team. This is becoming a great series of interlinked and related stories. Can’t read the next one yet as I have to work in 5 hours. You are filling out the characters and making them more realistic as each story goes. I appreciate the way you introduce new situations with the other storyline. Keeps you on your toes. Being a technical writer and married to a schoolteacher, the only criticisms I have is about some grammatical errors and sometimes seeing a partial sentence…
Great Installment – – – Keep them coming!!!! Ah! Book #10 – – it was really hard waiting for this installment. I admit to biting my nails and checking on Amazon multiple times until it was finally posted. I couldn’t wait to get off work so I could rush home and READ.Â
