"(King's X) has it all! Terrific mixed genre...completely engaging from beginning to end." -- NY Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Tamara Rose BlodgettSean Dedalus is the world's greatest thief - part James Bond, part Jack Sparrow. Leading a small crew of swashbuckling modern-day pirates aboard the sailing yacht 'Leila', and with his "Corsair" operation riding high, Dedalus suddenly gets a harsh reminder - karma never forgets. When a woman from his (very) distant past returns to re-ignite an ancient mystery, Dedalus is caught in the crosshairs.To make matters worse... he's made the old mistake again. He's let people get close. He might even care. Dedalus has always loved being the villain. Now he must do his least favorite thing... find a way to be the hero."CORSAIR: The King's X Protocol" is a Smart, Sexy, Action-Packed Modern Thriller with a Supernatural Twist: 800 years ago, the infamous pirate known as "Shahin the Hawk" encountered the legendary "King's X." Since then, he has lived and died a dozen times, carrying his memories across the veil between life and death. He remembers it all. Every detail... every lesson learned, every skill mastered, every love, every betrayal, every life, every death. Stephen T. Harper's darkly hopeful KINGS X SAGA is a series of interrelated stand-alone novels. Each blends a pulse-raising Suspense/Thriller with thought-provoking Historical Fantasy, all centered on the secret of the "King's X" - a legendary and seemingly magical artifact, stolen from the ancients and passed hand to hand, thief to thief, and incarnation to re-incarnation on an amazing relay-race to the present day. Very few can remember their past lifetimes. The fact that you are not one of them is not an accident, it is the greatest conspiracy of all time. All that you are, all that you were...The King's X will reveal."CORSAIR: The King's X Protocol" is a stand alone novel, so you can start here without fear of spoilers. It is also the second door into the secret world of the King's X Saga. Kings X books are for you if you like the myth-making of Stephen King's "Dark Tower," the historical mysteries of Dan Brown, or character-driven sci-fi/fantasy/adventure like "Highlander" or "The Matrix." Praise for Stephen T. Harper's "KING'S X""King's X belongs to that rare breed of books whose seemingly high-concept premise in fact shields a tightly crafted and deeply affecting story. Harper expertly balances character and conspiracy in a universe that will grab you from the very first chapter." --Line Zero Magazine"..like a modern, real-world twist on Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. It takes the previous ages of the earth notion... cuts away all the fantasy stuff and very convincingly brings the ring into our world. To Los Angeles, in fact." - Amazon Reader Review"This is a 'stand up and take notice' story from a truly gifted writer. The most original adventure I've seen in years. "The Matrix" crossed with "The Da Vinci Code." King's X is dark, beautiful, and very provocative. I've had the story stuck in my head since the first time I read it." -- Ken Miller, Film and TV Producer - 'Charmed'"Stephen T. Harper is a master of words. I stayed awake all night to finish, heart pounding, eyes bulging with every new twist, and the ending almost killed me! --The Paperback PursuerThis book has grabbed me. ...really well written and I liked the author's style. Big thumbs up!" -- Booked Up"...starts out mid-action and doesn't seem to slow down even when the author is describing delicate women in quiet moments with the men they care for... Pick up King's X. You won't be sorry." -- Into The Morning Reads
