Book of Death: The Fall of Ninjak Vol 1 1

My body is old so my mind has to keep it together. Meditation is the key. I can feel and control every cell in my body. Most of my battles the last twenty years have consisted of strangling the cancer cells inside myself. So real physical confrontation is kind of refreshing. A reminder of simpler times.

So let it be written, so let it be done…

In the ruins of his mansion, Colin King hunkers down as the last living member of Unity after the Third Armor Hunt – or so he thinks. A visit from an old friend and a peace offering present the chance for Ninjak to break the cycle of death and escape the horrible fate foretold in the Book of the Geomancer. Will he betray his dead friends or will THE FALL OF NINJAK come to pass and give rise to a very familiar future…

The superstar team that brought you DIVINITY – New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt and blockbuster artist Trevor Hairsine – reunite to reveal an essential new chapter of BOOK OF DEATH, ripped from the future of the Valiant Universe!

I know it sounds too fantastic to believe... but I'm launching Japan into space. It will be the first nation-state to exist in orbit around Earth. Safe from the winds of war that constantly blow across this cursed planet.

-- Livewire

I've fought next to countless men and women over the centuries. I've seen the most accomplished warriors. The best tacticians. But only one that I consider not only a truly great man... but also a good man. And a friend. The valiant are dead or scattered to the wind. The new generation won't have anyone. The next generation will need a teacher. The knowledge you hold? The skill? Share it. Don't let it be lost to time. Let your life send ripples into the future. Don't go it alone, Colin.

-- Eternal Warrior

It is not suicide, Colin. It is a promise kept.
