Gods & Assassins: Books 1-5
(2025)(A book in the Gods & Assassins series)
An omnibus of novels by Frank Kennedy
Seriously. Doesn’t anyone respect a god?
Royal and Moon have their sights set on recapturing old glory, also known as creating random galactic chaos. You know, the typical province of the gods.One little glitch: They’re living a meager existence as assassins on a backwater planet, and they’re forced to walk around on two legs. Such misfortune! For these fallen deities, building their interstellar crime network will take patience.
Fortunately, they happen upon the dusty town of Desperido, where a world of secrets plays out beneath the desert’s red dust.
Prepare for a wild five-book ride with a healthy dose of snark. Pistols draw, rifles blast, traitors abound, conspiracies arise, wormholes open, and whiskey flows in this space western.
Warning: Readers who prefer clean-talking, empathetic protagonists doing their level best to right the wrongs of humanity should steer clear. Those people don’t exist in Desperido.

What the readers of this series have to say:
For Red Dust:
‘The narrator and his pal are bad guys and the narrative drips with contempt for humans. They'd rather be killing humans than negotiating with them, but, as once-gods, they've seen glimpses of the future, and this little town may just be the beginning of their kingdom.The narrator's snark is enjoyable as is his commentary about his considerably more violent companion. World building is sprinkled throughout and intriguing.’ - Huckleberry, Amazon reviewerFor Silver Skin:
‘This is what I think of as "true" sci-fi magic that steals you away into worlds that only those writers who can use their minds to craft such wonderful stories in other worlds "far, far a way!" - DJ, Amazon reviewerFor Blue Heart:
‘A fast-release series like this one has to be terrific to maintain momentum, otherwise the reader misses one and drops out of the entire sequence. No fear with Blue Heart, in which Royal ups the ante of his patient world-conquering efforts, only to be confronted by an amazing intersection with the other, more meaty series in Frank Kennedy's universe.’ - Andres, Amazon reviewerGenre: Science Fiction
