LISTEN TO A SAMPLE. HEAR R.C. BRAY’S SMOOOOOOOTH SOUNDS.

BARON STEELE

Paul Steele, known to the world as Baron Steele, isn’t your average masked crimefighter. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t even wear a mask. And he doesn’t even fight crime anymore. That’s for the guys with too much brawn and not enough brain.

No, Steele works in consulting. After having his license revoked by the Guild of Masked Crimefighters, he decided he would scout talent instead. Match up heroes with their villainous counterparts, help the young bucks and buckettes discover their talents and abilities. That sort of thing.

It’s all going fine and well until Steele gets a bad cup of coffee. No. Seriously. Day after day, the same little twerp gets his order wrong. From there, it’s a downhill spiral into chaos, and Steele finds himself fighting for his freedom in a court of law. Did he really kill a barista over a cup of joe?

Don't miss this hilarious spin on the superhero genre from the number one Audible best-selling duo of Rhett C. Bruno and Jaime Castle.

RAPTORS IS HERE…


You know what sucks? Growing up poor, living in subsidized housing, and then one day, finding out you have super powers. Okay, that last part is pretty cool. But the rest of it… sucks.

I’m Sawyer Vincent, and I’m the Red Raptor.

SIDEKICK

My name is Sawyer William Vincent—I know, it sounds like three first names—but most people know me as the Red Raptor.

Well, technically no one knows I'm the Red Raptor, he's just a bit more popular.

Wow. Enough about my name. Let me start over. I’m a superhero—the legendary Black Harrier’s partner. Not sidekick. I don't care if I'm still in high school. We work together to bring down the city's most dangerous villains.

When the Black Harrier gets a mysterious note, then goes missing in New York City, things are pretty much left up to me.

But don’t worry... I’ve got this. Piece of cake.

If you like Tim Drake as Robin or ever wondered what Peter Parker would be like if he lived in Gotham, Raptors is right up your alley.

SUPERTEAM

If you didn’t read Sidekick, you’ve gotta read that first. Trust me.

If you did…

Wow. Who saw that coming? I know I didn’t.

As you know, I’m the Red Raptor. Now that things have… changed, I’ve asked my friend Amy to help tell the story. No, seriously, she’s just a friend. I mean—I guess if it were up to me? But… no.

Okay, so there’s a new threat—a bunch of punks called the Neon Knights. They’re causing mayhem, armed with some kind of plasma-photon-light weapons that I can’t even begin to understand, and as usual, I’ve gotta stop them.

However, this time I’ve got help. That’s right, I formed my own superteam. One for the ages.

But first, I’ve gotta do my shift at Big Frankie Junior’s. What? You like eating burgers, right? Well, someone has to cook them. We can’t be heroes all the time.

SCIONS

As you should know by now (it's Book 3 after all!), my name is Sawyer William Vincent and I’m Red Raptor.

The world as we know it has pretty much ended. Imagine your least favorite class from school. The one you hate showing up to because you can’t stand the teacher—and maybe the feeling is mutual, even though they can’t admit it. You hate the subject, and you’re miserable the entire period, every day, every second. None of your friends are there, and even if they are, you can’t hang with them.

You just sit and do your work. No talking. No bathroom breaks. No moving at all. Just book work and worksheets. Or workbooks. Whatever, you get what I mean.

Now, imagine that the class has several aggressively strict teachers, and those teachers have superpowers. In fact, they’re the most powerful people on the planet. And the class lasts 24/7.

Is your gut clenched yet? Do you have that feeling of overwhelming panic? Good. Because that’s all of us now, all the time. We have no idea what’s going on, but as usual, we’ve gotta figure it out.

Oh, and this time, Frank—FD3 himself—is gonna help tell the story along with Osprey and me. Isn’t that awesome?

If you like Tim Drake as Robin or ever wondered what Peter Parker would be like if he lived in Gotham, Raptors is right up your alley.

AND IT’S FREE ON AUDIBLE PLUS.


THE ENTIRE RAPTORS CAST AS IMAGINED BY THE AUTHORS (USING MIDJOURNEY)

A short note from Jaime Castle: While I have taken a hard stance against using AI art for any commercial reasons, I cannot deny the fun of it. It also has its uses. While I couldn’t justify the cost of hiring an artist to create more than 70 portraits, the cost-effectiveness of MidJourney has allowed these characters to come to life in a brand new way. I hope you enjoy them, despite the turmoil that surrounds artificially generated artwork (Synthography.) Due the to time it takes, this section will be a work in progress.
