DEATH MASK: THE FATE OF THE HALF-DEAD MAN
Synopsis
In the year 2032, a mysterious masked man fights organized crime and seeks to end the life of Harold Pierre, CEO of PierreCorp, whom he blames for the death of his loved ones. Pierre is alleged to control a major criminal network across the United States, involved in illicit activities such as prostitution rings, illegal cloning, and other forms of biological experimentation. However, the masked man is also pursued by the law, which has isolated him from legal avenues of seeking justice, forcing him to turn to dark forces that grant him supernatural abilities to confront his enemies. Yet, using these powers comes at a cost—something that may forever take away his humanity, his freedom, and even his chance at finding happiness again.
Amidst a relentless battle against a powerful corporate villain, responsible for numerous crimes against humanity, demonic forces emerge—will they become an obstacle? or a valuable, yet terrifying ally?
MEET THE CHARACTERS
DEATH MASK
After leaving Black Port City to put all his troubling past behind him, he journeys to Mount Okan in Hokkaido, Japan, to undergo rigorous training with his ninja master, Hirotaro Tokugawa. Six years later, he returns to Black Port, seeking a personal vendetta against Harold Pierre, the mob boss and CEO of PierreCorp. Hunted by the police and unable to gain allies through legal means, he makes a pact with dark forces, granting him supernatural abilities to overcome his enemies. However, this pact comes at a cost—he forfeits his ability to feel human emotions, such as empathy, joy, and love. When his human side vanishes, his demonic side emerges…

Now, he has joined Death Mask and Amanda Coleman in the mission to uncover all the dirty businesses and illegal activities carried out by Harold Pierre and his company.
RICHARD FOX
FBI Agent Richard Fox seeks to end the mission of his disappeared colleague Frank McCoy and prosecute PierreCorp for alleged illicit activities.

HAROLD PIERRE
CEO of PierreCorp. The main villain of this story. Pierre is also the leader of a major network of organized crime across the US and he has managed to masquerade many of the illegal activities he endorses, such as sexual trade, illegal cloning and other biological experimentations.

What are people saying about the book on Goodreads?
“I enjoyed every page of it. It sets a new superhero profile quite different from the kind we are accustomed to seeing in superhero stories from comic books like Marvel or DC, as it's much darker and more adult-oriented!” —Arthur Johnson.
“The protagonist wasn’t just a hero with supernatural abilities; he was a deeply flawed, human character caught between avenging his loved ones and losing himself to the dark forces that gave him power. The emotional stakes were through the roof, and I couldn’t help but feel for him every step of the way. I could see the smoky back alleys, feel the tension in every fight, and hear the haunting silence in the protagonist’s loneliest moments. The story balanced fast-paced action with raw emotional depth, and I loved every second of it.” —Belinda Smith.
“It's remarkable how the imagery of a film unfolds in your mind, vividly detailed, just moments into reading. Typically, I steer clear of this genre, but the intriguing cover piqued my curiosity and the story surpassed all expectations. It's a breezy, engaging read all the way through.” —Andrea.
“From the first page, you're immersed in a twisted and intriguing world where the line between hero and antihero blurs.

With moral dilemmas and an atmosphere brimming with tension, unexpected twists shatter expectations, leaving readers eager to see this plot brought to the big screen.” —Enzo C.
