Heroes Road

Historical Supernatural Adventure · 2016

Disgraced, destitute, and dishonorably discharged. Coel ap Math and Snorri Yaroslav are soldiers without a cause.

Historical Supernatural Adventure · 2018
“I have looked across the arc of my dreams and seen Coel’s death in all three hundred and sixty degrees of it. The circle of his destiny shall tighten like a noose upon him in less than one of your years…”

Coel’s journey eastward with the sorcerer Reza Walladid earned him the wrath of the Hobgoblin Hordes and the Lord of the Assassins. Nation after nation falls before the Horde’s inexorable march west. Once again Coel must ride east, into the teeth of the invasion, with a band of heroes upon a suicide mission—to give the failing west one forlorn gift, the most terrifying thing of all: hope.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Coel finds his only refuge is honor. And there is only one path to follow. The Heroes Road.

The Epic Conclusion · 2023

How many times can heroes cheat death? Venice stands as the last resistance against the invading hobgoblin armies, besieged by land and sea, while a northern host drives deep into Europa. Against overwhelming odds, assassins, and a rising supernatural evil, Coel and Snorri have only their honor and the bonds with those they love.

The trilogy reaches its thunderous end on the final stretch of the Heroes Road.

The Series

Bastard of the Apocalypse

Dark, savage, and funny as hell — one Marine’s road through a world that died screaming.

Book One

The Earth Died Screaming

Post-Apocalyptic · 2019
“My name is Benjamin Allen Frame. Last night the Earth died screaming. Today is Day One.”

Staying alive in the post-apocalypse can be a real bitch. Sometimes it takes a real bastard. A freakish phenomenon has irreparably changed the world, and jack-of-all-trades USMC veteran Benjamin Frame meets it head on—whether that means a radiation-charred grizzly or a cult-like biker gang.

Mayhem, mischief, satire, dark humor, and a sprinkle of social commentary, carried by a protagonist just trying to survive and—sometimes—to do the right thing in a dead world.

Book Two

Children of the Sea

Post-Apocalyptic · 2025

He thought he had a family and a future—then, by his own hand, it was torn away, leaving nothing but a hunger for revenge he was never fit to carry. A broken man stares across the horizon, takes ship, and gives himself to the sea.

The saga of Benjamin Frame sails on into darker, stranger waters.

Chuck Rogers

Off the clock in Silicon Valley

Born in Southern California and bred in the North, Chuck Rogers lives by his wits in the throbbing heart of Silicon Valley.

He’s a veteran action and adventure writer. For years he wrote in the Mack Bolan universe for Gold Eagle—The Executioner, Stony Man, and the SuperBolan line—and penned one of the best-loved Deathlands trilogies under the house pen name James Axler.

When Gold Eagle closed its doors, Rogers struck out on his own. The result is two sprawling, hard-charging series: Heroes Road, a historical-supernatural saga that carries two broken soldiers across the medieval known world on a long, honor-bound road east—and Bastard of the Apocalypse, a savage, wickedly funny ride through a world that died screaming.

His work is fast, funny, brutal, and big-hearted—built for readers who love the ride.
