"What a fun read this one was!

Oh, it’s definitely violent, but it also has heart and our unlikely duo (well trio if you include a furry little one), just gave me the warm fuzzies. And, yes, it’s weird to talk about the warm fuzzies when you’re talking" Read more of this review »

Omniviolence is a highly entertaining, non-stop action thriller with a dystopian setting that gives and gives and gives! A truly explosive reading experience packed ful" Read more of this review »

Stu always brings the fire with action and his larger-than-life characters. You can tell this story is a labor of love, much like his Action of Purpose trilogy. The Zone exudes 80s cyberpunk, and for fans of Judge Dredd or the Running Man, it is a ve ...more

Quotes by Gareth Worthington  (?)

“You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight (Barenaked lades)”
Gareth Worthington

“Yet as quickly as it comes, the fire is gone, replaced by a smoldering pile of embers. Much like our brief time on this earth -a flash of light, an opportunity for great good, immense evil, or worse, selfish nothingness. And just like that, our light too, for better or worse, goes out.

The monk leans close, whispering to the flame with gentle breaths, coaxing the sparks to live again. A small finger of fire takes hold on the moss bed. Rebirth. Renewal. The light begins again, feeble but growing. It knows nothing else, only the perpetual act of pressing back against the darkness. That is its only purpose. It knows not of the endless cold in which it exists and will never overcome.”
Gareth Worthington, In The Shadow Of A Valiant Moon

“I still miss Dad. Insignificant as he may be in the cosmos, my heart is a much smaller place.”
Gareth Worthington, Dark Dweller
