Feared By Hell: An Urban Fantasy Action Adventure (The Unbelievable Mr. Brownstone Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Michael Anderle (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 3,079 ratings
You never mess with a young girl around James Brownstone.

It doesn't matter what crime syndicate you belong to, that just doesn't sit well with him.

** AMAZON Top 100 Best Selling Author **

The world has changed since the news of Oriceran came out twenty years before. Now, countries all over the world have agreed to using a bounty system for dangerous criminals using advanced magic or advanced technology.

People too powerful for the cops to deal with.

Magical criminals, thugs and bounty hunters, in the future we revert to what worked in the past.

if you find out you are hunted by Brownstone, we suggest you turn yourself in.

It will save you a monumental ass-kicking.

Brownstone likes his life simple, but Life is about to throw him a wicked curveball.

Scroll back to the top, and click “Read for Free” or “Buy Now” and kick back for a fun, action packed adventure that will have you yelling for the good guys, and laughing at just how much Brownstone can infuriate Shay.

And how thoroughly Shay mystifies Brownstone.

---

NOTE: This book contains cursing. Perhaps humorous cursing, but cursing nevertheless. If this offends you, I don't suggest reading this book.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

    I found Michael Anderle's The Kurtherian Gambit series about a year ago on Amazon...& became thoroughly enthralled in his exciting & brilliantly written stories of merging the changing world on Earth & Beyond into the Stars in other Universes, with the most captivating characters I have ever read. When the series ended, I freaked! Now what am I gonna do?
    I am a 67 yr woman, who wasvinjured in a freak industrial accident almost 47 yrs ago. The past 12 years have been spent almost entirely in bed. I have always been a voracious reader from a very young age & love most genres.
    Michael's world's captivate & delight me! I transitioned to The Leira Chronicles next, then The School of Necessary Magic followed where I encountered Izzie, Leira Beren's daughter, her new best friend, Alison Anderson & her bounty hunter friend, James Brownstone.
    So here I am...beginning book 2 of James's story & am really looking forward to getting to follow his adventures. Now I have a dilemma...I have BBQ on the brain 24/7!!! And I can't get out of bed & cook for myself!! Thank God for Doordash! I saved the BBQ Sauce recipes included in book 1 for future use & to share with friends! Drat you, Michael Anderle & Bless you more!!! I read about a book a day right now & luckily I have many more Michael Anderle & his collaborative co-horts to look forward to!!! Check out all his books!

    The world now has magic. And magical criminals. So instead of law enforcement dealing with the additional problems, you have bounty hunters picking up the slack. Brownstone is an enjoyable main character.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Surprise!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I was expecting something along the same lines of this author's other books (and collaborations), but this one was a distinct surprise. As much as I've enjoyed some of his other story lines and characters, after a while some of them can become variations of a theme of snark and familiarity. The oft-time common problem of Familiarity fighting off breeding Contempt. (Don't mistake me, as I'm still reading the others.)

    This one, however, struck an entirely different chord. What's the easiest way to describe it?

    Well, this first book in the series has reminded me of so many of the things I liked so much about the early Dresden Files books. For Dresden fans, that ought to suffice to say enough.

    I may have found a new gritty, tough, simple-but-complex, albeit reluctant hero to replace Harry Dresden, which pleases me quite a lot.

    I'm starting this series rather late in the game (10 books available on Kindle), and it's my fervent hope that as I start reading more of them I discover the character has developed into the protagonist strongly hinted at in this first book.

    I'm a bit too lazy to figure out how to connect to the author on his homepage, or whatever. However, if I was so inclined to figure out how to contact him ...

    I'd congratulate and compliment him on the unexpected birth of a character that, for me, holds out a tantalizing degree of promise to become a character of the sort masterfully brought to life by such story masters as Heinlein, Zelazny and Butcher.

    Here's hoping I haven't jinxed things by rating it so well, so early, before buying the second book. ;)

    I went into this book with no knowledge of the subject matter. What I found was an exciting adventure filled with magic, tension, adventure, and true humanity. There were a few things that I didn't particularly care for, but that is my opinion only. Fortunately, I see that there are currently 21 other titles in this series, so I am really excited to see where these characters go and how they change.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Time Read
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I seldom read a book for a second time, I can't keep up with all the books by great writers whose work I want to enjoy.

    The books I've read a second time have all been written by award winning authors who have been admitted to some genres Hall of Fame. I don't know if Mr. Anderle will be recognized as being in a group with the likes of Bob Heinlein, Rita McCaffrey, J. R. R. Tolkien, Doug Adams, Octavia Butler or Andre Norton (I've been reading Science Fiction and Fantasy before it was cool), but this book is awesome.

    The barrier between Earth and another planet in a parallel dimension has broken down. Oriceran (?) is a planet of magic wielders comprised of creatures who are the stuff of fantasy and legend (Elves - both Light and Dark, trolls, etc) and some of which that don't even have legends.

    The protagonist is a bad asz bounty hunter who tracks down extreme bad guys, whether magical, users of magic or just plain nasty humans. He helps a young blind girl, runs afoul of a Japanese gang, rescues an Elven Princess who has been tortured and dies while slaughtering bad guys of all types.

    This is a grand adventure that continues into other books and continues to entertain.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Same story as Shays second book
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    90% same dialogue as “I fear no Evil” Shay’s book 2. This was a good book and am looking forward to the rest since Shay’s story ended with book 2 and I am sure her story will continue with Brownstones. Still a little strange to publish two books with two different titles. If it wasn’t for all the typos and plot errors it would’ve been 5 stars. The guy ran his hand through his hair and a couple pages later he was bald. Please proofread. I do recommend this book for its action, soul and take on the evil verses good although some people may not care for or agree on which Brownstone and Shay are. There is violence so be aware.

    I really liked this book because Browstone is a person thrives for a simpler life, living in a time that magic is a new reality to the humans together with mystical beens like orks, elfs, witches, and much more. His life gets more complex when he help a girl who's mother desapered , and get involved in a very complicate situation.
