Author Joshua Banker announces the release of his third full-length work, The Fifth Era of Man. Banker's first stand-alone novel is a speculative fiction adventure that blends in elements of science-fiction and noir to tell a story that examines the dangers of unearned achievements and the desperation that drives those who are prey to their own bad decisions.
Free to Read: The Fifth Era of Man Chapter 1
As I've done before with the Free To Read program, I've decided to offer a sneak peak into my latest story, The Fifth Era of Man. This time around, though, I've actually released a free chapter of my newest book in advance of its publishing date in March of 2018.

To complete the four-piece series of character illustrations for A Prison of Flesh, we have Jehn Brumal and Hollistier Thabies.
The Art of APOF: Corella and Brigant
Much like what was created for Not Gods But Monsters, I put together a series of character illustrations for a few of the major players in A Prison of Flesh. This time around, though, I did add an extra touch of color to set these apart from the original works.

The Art of APOF: Various
While a lot of the ground work (both art-wise and as a part of world-building) was done for the series during the development of Book 1, I did manage to pull together a few concept sketches for A Prison of Flesh. This includes drawings for the boats and Corella's favorite figurehead.
The Music of A Prison of Flesh (Part 2)
Unlike Book 1, where I tried to give each chapter its own playlist, I trimmed down the number of playlists to six. As stated in Part 1, this was because A Prison of Flesh did far less jet-setting. In fact, except for the first two chapters, large portions of the story are spread across multiple chapters. The first two lists here cover major portions of the story.
