Crimes of an Empire

Inmate 5056. The only name he has now. The name the Empire of Man forced him to bear. Stripped of all other distinctions: citizen, friend, comrade. To the Empire, he’s now seen only as a convict. As a prisoner aboard Leviathan fleet 554, he serves his sentence subjugating worlds for a ruling class he hates and upon whom he will have his revenge. Five more planets stand in the way of his freedom, but these worlds will test him in ways he could never have foreseen. Death, sacrifice, and destruction will mark his path to vengeance. Worlds will burn and be turned to ash. All for the good of the Empire.

In Darkest Dreams

Mark and Steve venture into the mountains of Wyoming, seeking solace from a recent tragedy. What begins as a routine forest fire watch swiftly descends into a nightmarish ordeal. When a distant blaze they mistake for a forest fire reveals itself to be something far more sinister.

A malevolent force, capable of warping reality, hunts them relentlessly. As they struggle to evade its grasp, the safety they seek remains ever elusive. But the forest and the entity are not the only sources of darkness to fear. Secrets buried deep within start to surface, threatening to shatter their sanity.

Nothing can be hidden, misdeeds will be brought into the light, truth lurks within their darkest dreams, and the twisted reality around them. Can Mark and Steve confront the horrors of their past while evading the creature hunting them, or will they succumb to the terrors that await in the shadows?

Read what readers are saying about J.P. Graves' captivating books.

I like reading but I'm not a very quick reader and I normally only do it if I've got nothing else to do. That being said, I couldn't put this book down. It's original, suspenseful, and the characters are relatable. Excited to read more books by this author in the future.

Crimes of an Empire is page-turner for sure! It's incredibly easy to get into and the story is a awesome mix of military SF and technological Lovecraftian horror. I hope the author keeps up his writing, he could be the next David Drake.

Crimes of an Empire

I don’t usually reach for this specific genre when reading but I am so glad I gave it a shot. The summary really peaked my interest and I couldn’t stop reading it once I started. If you like any kind of dark, horror, and sci-fi I would definitely recommend it. I am really hoping there will be more to follow, it was so good. This book was really impressive.
