The Emperors of Bedlam
What Species Will Rule Earth Next?
This epic, futuristic adventure from the lush imagination of Mark Blaise Fallon is a thrill ride along the razor’s edge of humankind's extinction. When billions are forced to abandon a hostile, irradiated Earth, those left behind must fight for survival as two mighty empires of mutated non-human species rise and clash to claim dominion over the planet. C. August Grimnail, a wise-cracking rogue, scours the wild, encountering strange creatures and treacherous remnants of our lost world in hopes to re-build the New Human Empire. August's best friend Emperor Hennrik Taschen and the beautiful Empress Dönadrinne fight to realize a utopian civilization and re-claim humankind's rule of Earth.
But will their hopes for the human race withstand forbidden love and power-lusting betrayals from within? Will humankind ever rule Earth again? More...

First of all, I'd like to say Привет и добро пожаловать! to our friends in Russia. This site currently gets more visitors from there than any other nation, including the United States.

FAQs
Seriously? Do people really ask you these questions frequently?
Well, okay, frequently is a bit of a stretch, I’ll give you that one. But you’d be amazed (or maybe you wouldn’t) at the strange ways and times these questions come at me. I love talking about the craft of writing and all things EoB, but I suspect that the person who invented the FAQ, preferred to have all ten toenails ripped out with needle-nose pliers to repeating the same answers to the same questions over-and-over.
