Synopsis

In a galaxy ravaged by fallen empires, endless wars, and a volcanic apocalypse, hope isn't bestowed by fate—it's forged by gritty survivors reclaiming their freedom and heritage. Welcome back to J. Kenton Pierce's epic Tales from the Long Night universe, where ordinary heroes rise against the encroaching dark.
Back Alley Angels and Badland Devils delivers two pulse-pounding stories spotlighting the unsung warriors of Hesperides Colony, scarred by the Mutual Prosperity's invasion. These raw tales of resilience pit flawed protagonists against hostile xenos, ancient horrors, and shadowy schemes.In "The Greenline Gambit," set centuries into the Long Night, amiable brawler Kraitte thrives in the subterranean sprawl of Greenline Town—a former refugee sanctuary turned industrial hub. By day, he's a heavy lifter; by night, a smuggler's guardian. But when a mysterious brunette offers a high-stakes job, Kraitte plunges into a web of rival factions vying for underground power, testing his newfound sense of home and family.
"El Banquero del Diablo" rewinds to the invasion's chaotic aftermath, amid ash-choked volcanic winter. Rugged cowboy Danny Bozeman, a former rider for Boss Rosenberry, joins the nascent Nuevo Tejas Rangers to rebuild society. Preferring simple brawls and bar tabs, Danny confronts capital-E Evil—an ancient darkness threatening innocents—armed only with unyielding grit and iron resolve.These standalone adventures weave into the saga's larger arcs, proving heroes emerge from back alleys and badlands, not thrones. In a cosmos of implacable threats, the fight for dawn is eternal. Join Kraitte and Danny's ruckus--and learn what it means to never quit.
