What would you do if America and the world were invaded tomorrow by a relentless and brutal enemy? In an alternate 2015, a US Army Special Forces Team, part of the legendary black ops unit "Delta," is in midtown Manhattan to take out a Chinese spy and his handlers, sending a message short of outright conflict. All goes smoothly until they find themselves in a full blown shooting war through the canyons of the City. Portals from another world have opened in Central Park, making a way for figures out of historical nightmare to invade. The Fae, creatures banished from Earth thousands of years ago and now only part of our legends, have returned with Dragon fire, spell and sword to conquer and take revenge.

The first volume of The Fae Wars covers Team Three, G squadron, Special Forces Detachment (Delta) as they fight their way off Manhattan and then join the defense of the refugees as the Fae assault the bridges. The fabled 69th Infantry puts up an epic fight against superior weaponry and then the war descends into the asymmetric hell that the Delta Operators know so well. Along the way they find new allies and old powers that come to their aid.

J. F. Holmes is a retired Army senior noncomissioned officer, having served for twenty-two years in both the regular Army and Army National Guard. During that time, he served as everything from an artillery section leader to a member of a division level planning staff, with tours in Cuba and Iraq, as well as responding to the terrorists attacks in NYC on 9/11. From 2010 to 2014 he wrote the immensely popular military cartoon strip, Power Point Ranger, poking fun at military life in the tradition of Beetle Bailey and Willy & Joe. His books range from military sci-fi to space opera to detective to fantasy, with a lot in between. In 2017, two were finalists for the prestigious Dragon Awards. As of August 2017, Mr. Holmes has eighteen books and two novellas published.

Lucas Marcum is a critical care nurse practitioner and an officer in the US Army Reserve. When he's not working, or performing his reserve duties, he can be found hiking, reading, attempting to perfect his soft pretzel recipe, and spending time with his family.
