Since then, he has written 11 books, including <em>War of the Worlds: Retaliation,</em> the superhero series, <em>Sixteen Sunsets Saga</em>, and hard sci-fi collaborative novel,<em> Days Until Home</em>. His books are favorites among fans of <em>Sin City, The Martian, The Punisher</em>, and <em>Firefly</em>. His work is a fast paced, no-nonsense, thrill ride into many genres, including science fiction, superhero, dystopian, and historical fiction. His works are available in nine languages, and he has fans on all seven continents.</p><p style="font-style:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none">Follow Mark on Twitter @Article_94</p>
