Fading Shadows Releases & More

FADING SHADOWS Releases. In December 2004, the Fading Shadows line of magazines shut down due to Tom's health problems. We thought that was the end of it, but in 2012 we were back, better than ever. This time in paperback editions, and perfect binding. Postage per book (in US) is $3.00. If more than one book is ordered, we can adjust the postage.


“Shadowhawke: First Flight” by K.G. McAbee & Tom Johnson. Deposed from her kingdom, the Spider Lady rules a new kingdom in America. Taking over the New York underworld, she operates from a hidden cavern beneath the ground. Those who oppose her are forced into her deadly web. But one man and his fighting team take up the trail to bring justice to the Queen of the underworld. The Shadowhawke! $7.00 paperback, plus postage, from the author.


DOUBLE DANGER TALES #64, containing “Murder Town” and “The Legend” by Tom Johnson. In “Murder Town”, a drug lord murders young Jane Hayes when she attempts to force her way into his organization. Unbeknownst to him, she had called her girlfriend, thinking they would soon be in the money. When Peggy comes to town asking questions, they want her dead also. But her path has crossed that of a mysterious man in black – a man hunting the drug runners – a man with twin automatics, and a challenging laugh promising death… The Black Ghost! In 1953 the legends disappeared, and now an old criminal wants back in power, but he had forgotten that Legends never die! $7.00 paperback, plus postage, from the author.


“The Soul Stealers” by Tom Johnson. Angels have walked among mankind since the dawn of civilization. Although we may not recognize them, or even see their presence, they are always with us. Perhaps they whisper advice in our dreams, or guide our governments without their knowledge, angels are moving us towards a higher good. Some even protect us in our final day, when violent death reaches out for our very soul - these are the Soul Sealers! $12.00 paperback, plus postage.


Tom Johnson’s “Treasure of Jur”, the 5th novel in the popular Jur saga. Nazi Germany has found a time portal giving them access to the treasures of a prehistoric land. But even with superior weapons, Hitler’s supermen may not win through to the ultimate prize. Jungle excitement and thrills await the reader in this current tale of greed and murder in a savage pre-dawn world. $12.00 paperback, plus postage.


“Drums of Jur” by Tom Johnson. Jurak, the son of Aaron Jameson and Odette Aimee St. Claire, born on Jur, returns to his birthplace seeking adventure – and love. When the Queen of Kal-dar is kidnapped it brings an ape clan and wild men together to mount a rescue. Dinosaurs, danger, and thrills in the savage land of prehistoric Jur.
