“An embarrassment of high adventure riches, mixing every cool paperback, comic, late night TV treasure and the best of heady 60s and 70s spy adventure with the breakneck pace of the great Republic serials, and all with a wry sense of good humor that rival's Napoleon Solo's best lines. Oh, and the good guys win. As they should." -Steve Latshaw, author Stan Lee’s Lightspeed
Are you a fan of Superman, Captain America, the Flash, the Avengers. Doc Savage, and other super heroes? Then prepare to enter a world of adventure and danger, of a hero unequaled since the days of the movie serials, of comic books, and the yellowed pages of the pulp magazines.
He could leap tall buildings, if he wanted to. He is nearly invulnerable, but doesn't like to show-off. He is superstrong, supersmart, superfast. But he'd rather wine and dine beautiful women than pummel badguys.
But watch out, bad guys, once he gets you in his sights….
He's the Emperor, the world's first non-costumed superhero. Born in an underground comic in the 1960s, he's now featured in his own series of pulp novels.
A debonair crime-fighter, head of an intrepid band of adventurers, the Emperor fights evil where ever it may arise. Able to pass unsuspected through any security or fortification, he has outwitted and out-fought the cleverest and most deadly enemies. The Emperor’s exploits put those of James Bond, Jack Reacher, and those two men from UNCLE to shame. The Emperor's Gambit showcases four amazing adventures of The Emperor, as he and his able corps of agents fight international criminals, foreign terrorists, space aliens, and a madman with the gloves Thor used to wield Mjolnir, his mighty hammer!
Don't miss this underground pulp and comic book sensation - now in book form. For forty years, Charles Lee Jackson II has been producing a body of work unprecedented in the annals of pulp magazines and comics. He has garnered a fanatic body of followers and admirers - but his work has never been made available to a mass audience before! Begin the adventure here, with the first volume of stories featuring Jackson's legendary cliffhanger hero, in his fight against the forces of evil.
"Mr. Jackson's books combine the best of heady 60s and 70s spy adventure with the breakneck pace and scale of the great Republic serials, and all with a wry sense of good humor that rival's Napoleon Solo's best lines. And best of all, when I read them, I'm 12 years old again, and the world is new and full of intrigue, and possibilities. And high adventure. Oh, and the good guys win. As they should." - Steve Latshaw, screenwriter Stan Lee's Lightspeed, director Return of the Killer Shrews
Super heroes, fast-paced action, and plots that will knock your socks off! 'The Emperor' novels are fun, snappy, and a reflection of the pulp fiction that readers have read and loved for decades. Jackson couples original characters with seductive situations that will have you on the edge of your seat." –J. D. Crayne, author How to Bonk a Zombie.
