Khan of Mars (Professor Khan #1) by Stephen Blackmoore
Unrated

LOST ON THE RED PLANET!

When erudite ape Professor Khan and rough-and-tumble cowboy Bulls-Eye Gutierrez are zapped away on a one-way trip to Mars, they are thrown into a world in chaos. Under the malevolent gaze of the Weather Witch, Princess Cyclone, our heroes face the intrigue and war raging across an alien world. Will they survive long enough for the other Centurions to build a way back home, or will they perish upon the shifting sands of the Red Planet, never to be seen again?

A spin-off adventure from the Dinocalypse Trilogy!

“Who would have thought a four hundred pound gorilla could be so agile? Khan of Mars moves with the speed and whiplash reverses of a hunting hawk, yet packs the punch of a rampaging Yeti. Engaging characters, endless invention, and a breakneck plot that never lets you catch your breath — Stephen Blackmoore must have that ape by the short hairs to make him hop around like that.” — Nathan Long, author of Jane Carver of Waar

Stephen Blackmoore

Stephen Blackmoore’s writing brims with gritty realism and a razor-sharp wit, taking readers on wild, unpredictable journeys through worlds where the supernatural collides with the very human struggle for survival. Best known for his Eric Carter series, which blends dark urban fantasy with noir, Blackmoore’s work is a cocktail of magic, crime, and redemption served with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Growing up in California, Blackmoore was always drawn to the darker side of storytelling, where the shadows hold secrets and even the heroes have a lot to hide. His journey as a writer started early, crafting stories that combined his love for the fantastic with a fascination for the complexities of flawed characters. It’s this tension between light and dark that defines his approach to writing—his characters are always navigating the messiness of life, trying to do the right thing even if it costs them everything.

His Eric Carter series stands out in the crowded field of urban fantasy for its relentless pace, unforgettable characters, and its blend of the supernatural with gritty realism. Carter, a necromancer with a troubled past, doesn’t just battle monsters and magic—he fights the consequences of his own choices. It's this raw, unflinching exploration of personal responsibility that gives the series its emotional core, drawing readers back time and again.

Beyond the Eric Carter series, Blackmoore’s work spans various projects that often tread into the darker, more offbeat corners of genre fiction. Whether it's his short stories or his forays into horror and noir, he’s always looking for fresh ways to blur the lines between the real and the unreal. His writing style reflects that same edginess—quick, engaging, and never afraid to leave a scar.

Stephen Blackmoore’s work is a tribute to those who live in the margins, to the characters who might be considered outsiders, but who still have a story worth telling. With a style as sharp as his protagonists and a knack for crafting stories that don’t just entertain but also leave an emotional impact, Blackmoore is a name that’s hard to forget in the world of speculative fiction.
