We killed Earth. Thousands of years later, the survivors, having fled their dead planet in great generation ships, eke out a tenuous existence among the local group of stars. This could have been the end for the last dregs of humanity, but for the rise of a dictatorial church that draws humankind under its wing and flogs it to prosperity. Now, Miranda St. Billiart, a soldier for the Community of God, seeks to escape the power that made her in the first place. With her sister Ilyanya, she uncovers the corruption that made the Church possible. The two of them fight to expose the great lie, to redress the evils heaped upon their people, and to discover within the wreckage of their universe who they are and why they matter. Reader praise for Shining Star: "As we've come to expect from a Loy novel, the characters are rich, the plot is thick, and the hook is deep. But what is important about this work are questions it asks of us in its wake, when the pages are turned and the story has cooled within us. And also the space ninjas.""This book is a great read. If you like the works of David Weber or Jerry Pournelle, I can recommend this book to you.""Stephan Loy, in his own sneaky way, was showing us how good Star Wars could have been. How it could have been a story where the villains have real motivations. How it could have been a story where the heroes had revelations and remorse."

The age of apocalypse is upon us. Fundamentalists and new age thinkers of all stripes are convinced that the new Catholic pope ushers in the end of the world. Leveraging that hysteria, Arthur Davidson, a radio evangelist, rises to prominence while promising salvation through him alone. But Davidson guards a startling secret, one that drives him to force the Bible's apocalyptic prophesies to fruition. He procures ten tactical nuclear weapons stolen from a Russian Army facility and attempts to use them to bring about the end of all time.Davidson's nemesis is Sally Reiser, a Jew disillusioned with God, whom she blames for the handicap of her six-year-old autistic son. She's the last of a line of seers, a family gifted to witness the work of God, no matter how beautiful or terrible. Sally allies with an unlikely hodgepodge of Davidson's enemies including Gary LaMonte, a doctoral candidate who has written a thesis on post-millennialism, the effect of the dawning millennium on the mass psyche. Rosa Vasquez is the FBI's lead agent in the government's fight against Davidson's terrorist network, code-named Bible Scholar. Together, these imperfect heroes combat Davidson's mad plans, risking everything to save the planet, save each other and save the anchors of their souls. Praise for Last Days and Times from readers:"Excellent read! Well written and with well-developed characters. This book is edgy, yet well grounded in today's world. A real page-turner!""Stephan Loy paints for us a compelling story with figures we recognize as true and situations we cannot disregard.""...this book is genuinely good, every bit as engaging and well written as a Dan Brown, or Dean Koontz novel.""Issues of faith, race, family, and a snappy whodunit; Loy lights fuses from every angle, leaving the reader to follow the sparks. Before you know it, you'll find yourself swimming in the powder keg, watching the whole thing go "boom." And man, what a sight to behold.""Stephan Loy spins a good yarn in Last Days and Times. I'm normally not into end of the world stuff, but this was recommended by a friend."

Indianapolis, present day. Not the most burgeoning of American cities, not the place you think of when you call to mind crime, despair, and the hopelessness of urban existence. So why does Indianapolis, Naptown to some, have a superhero patrolling its streets, and why did that hero settle in Naptown after two years fighting the good fight in Chicago, just a few hours north? For the mysterious, rarely glimpsed Voice of the City made his debut in that metropolis by the lake, beating down criminals and dirty cops alike, protecting the common citizen.Then he disappeared, re-surfacing in that glorified farm town to the south.CIA agent Richard Short thinks he has a notion why. He thinks the Voice may have followed someone to Naptown. He may be allied with a young woman known and watched by the federal government: Sally Reiser, the so-called "seer of God," whose dark past paints a picture of violence, blood, and supernatural exploits beyond the realm of believability. She may be on the side of justice or she may be a free-ranging terrorist, but Sally is at the center of existential threats from both this world and another. Now, she's running a halfway house for formerly imprisoned gang members. Are Sally Reiser and the Voice of the City somehow tied by the bonds of destiny?Of this Short isn't sure. Of other things, he has no clue. He doesn't know that a new threat rises. An ancient enemy has come to town to wreak havoc upon the lives of men. He's haunted us in our childhood fantasies, bringing to life that coat in the chair or that monster in the closet. Now he strives to bury the social structure of Man in a grave of blood and hate.The Boogieman (yes, you read that right) uses all his powers of fomenting fear and doubt, all his knowledge of the dark nature of Man, to unleash overwhelming forces upon the city. Gang warfare. Vengeance. Rage. Murder. And an invasion from his nightmareverse that few humans could withstand.But the city has defenders. Sally Reiser stands. So does the Voice of the City. Together with Short, Sally's partner Gary, a skeptical police officer, and the very gangs the Boogieman strives to ignite, the seer of God and the city's champion seek to extinguish the growing flames of hate.But there's a catch, a weakness so profound in the Voice of the City's armor that not even the Voice knows of it. A weakness that can open up the ground beneath his feet and plummet him to immediate defeat. And it can happen at any time.Voice of the City is a superhero/urban fantasy mash-up that takes both genres on a rollercoaster ride of action, adventure, and deep personal introspection. It tackles subjects most books avoid. Gangs. Gun culture. Mass shootings. It's a big story about little people, and an even bigger story about gods and monsters. An epic happening down on the corner.Can the city be saved from its own base instincts, or is it too far gone?

Clayton Hostetter, US Marshal, makes his living rousting out range agitators, fence cutters, them that mutilate the cattle and make the circles in the crops, and general uncivilized folk. Just now, he's ordered by President Theodore Roosevelt himself to bring in Ehnrich Boehm, aka The Dark Man, the most ornery outlaw you ever did know. Wanted for murder, mayhem, terrorism, and conspiracy to destroy the eighteen contiguous universes (also blasphemy and vandalism), Boehm is truly a formidable bad man. He's wily, powerful, ruthless, and travels with a demon horse and a psychotic Yorkshire terrier. Such a foe is too much for even a federal marshal to handle, so Hostetter puts together a stalwart posse consisting of an inter-dimensional scientist who is a light projection from a dying universe, a ten-year-old boy who might be thirty, or sixty, or maybe forty, a frontier guide, and Bigfoot (yes, that Bigfoot). Hostetter and his gang track the Dark Man across the West, across dimensions, and to the very end of the multiverse, weathering motorcycle gangs, Wild Indians like you've never seen, and the dreaded Mini-skirted Zombie Ninja Japanese Schoolgirls with Laser Eyes and Apocalypse Panties. It's Blazing Saddles meets Wild, Wild West with a pinch of The Golden Compass and Harry and the Hendersons. It's the weird western to beat all weird westerns, and it's yours for a week's honest cowhand wages and a plate of beans. Bad Lands. Part of the Nightwatch uber-series. Take a gander, pard!
