Noted Crime Fiction author Gary Phillips releases

a new novella for the Stark Raving Group

Los Angeles, CA— Publishing Company Stark Raving Group is pleased to announce it’s unveiling an ebook novella by renowned crime fiction author Gary Phillips in February.  The Anti-Gravity Steal features Ned “Noc” Brenner.  He’s a golden boy millennial, a drifter gifted at whatever he attempts -- surfer, motocross rider, b-baller, a master at blitz chess to shooting craps in a back alley.  It all comes so easy to Noc. But when he saves a fellow player from kidnapping after exiting an all-night poker game, he’s courted by a shadowy entity run by one of the world’s richest, most reclusive and idiosyncratic men. 

Noc is challenged to use his abilities for a greater purpose.  Soon he’s in deep, working with a man who can be anyone else, an enigmatic woman with black ops trained esper powers, and a professor haunted by tragedy loosing himself in creating gadgets.  They're in a race to prevent the super villain Prospero from auctioning off an anti-gravity device he stole – a machine that in the wrong hands would imperil untold millions.  In the vein of Doc Savage and the Avenger, comes Noc Brenner, a 21st century adventurer with a few dark secrets of his own. 

Phillips, author of novels (Warlord of Willow Ridge), graphic novels (The Rinse) and co-editor of the Black Pulp anthology, is currently Vice President of content and editorial for Stark Raving Group, which specializes in action-adventure, hardboiled and pulp novellas, available through its proprietary platform Bookxy – www.bookxy.com.  Bookxy novellas are available for just $2.99, and can be read via computer, Smartphone, tablet, or Kindle.
