About the Author
Travis Heermann grew up in the countryside of Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln with a BS in electrical engineering. In 2003, he shifted careers and moved to Fukuoka, Japan, to teach English to young students in public schools. Amazon.com called his first novel, The Ivory Star, "a must have for every sci-fi reader." Soon afterward, Heermann immersed himself in Japanese culture and history and combined his passion for folklore and fantasy literature. The result is Heart of the Ronin, a tale of a teenage warrior in thirteenth-century Japan, and the first volume in the Ronin Trilogy. On Ronin Writer (travisheermann.com/blog), Heermann's blog about the writing life, he posts an ongoing series of in-depth interviews with authors in a variety of genres.
Reviews

"Travis Heermann's THE HAMMER FALLS is a raucous, entertaining, action-packed riot. Like his characters, Heermann punches hard from beginning to end, a skilled storyteller who knows exactly what he's doing. THE HAMMER FALLS reads like pure pulp--but like Philip José Farmer, Dashiell Hammett, and the other pulp masters, Heermann brings real heart and depth to his characters. Amidst the heavy-hitting violence, there's care and comedy and endearing sacrifice. Do not miss this book." - J.L. Forrest, author of the Songs at the End of the World series

"Take WWE and MMA, amp the violence to a bone-breaking, body-busting eleven, and you've got The Hammer Falls. But wash away the bloodstains and you'll surprisingly find yourself clobbered by camaraderie and heart." - Warren Hammond, author of the KOP series and Denver Moon

"Fast-paced, action-packed, and full of heart. The Hammer Falls will have you praying Ridley Scott gives this one a home on the silver screen. He and Heermann are the only two capable of delivering the perfect balance of gladiatorial action and high-stakes science fiction." - Joshua Viola, award-winning editor of Nightmares Unhinged and Cyber World

"A body slam of high-tech mayhem... Travis Heermann delivers one gut punch after another in this science-fiction TKO." - Mario Acevedo, author of the Felix Gomez detective vampire series

"There are books that pack a punch, and then there's The Hammer Falls. With pugilistic, pit-fighting ferocity--and a surprising human core--Travis Heermann throws science fiction into the squared circle and watches it writhe in excitement. Grab a ringside seat and hold on tight." - Jason Heller, Hugo Award-winning author of Strange Stars and editor of Cyber World
