"Non-stop action! An eternal champion battles his way across centuries, gradually learning to ask the question: Why?" - David Brin, best-selling science fiction author
"John is an amazing new talent to watch out for!" - Matthew Mather, author of Atopia Chronicles and CyberStorm
“Battle descriptions are awesome and the action was pure adrenaline injected into my brain!” - Alexandre Rocha Lima e Marcondes, Geeks with Blogs
""No Other Gods" had me hooked instantly, and I couldn't put it down!" - reader David Gubbins
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
No Other Gods is a cosmic battle through time and space between a man and a god -- a god who seems human enough to envy. Human enough to desire what little the man possesses. And human enough to kill what he no longer requires.
Only too slowly, Geno learns that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. That he is not what he seems ... that he, who had no past, does have history, and did have a life not drenched in death and destruction. And while he learns what he once knew, and becomes who he really is, he also discovers he has hopes and dreams for the future -- and for Livia, the woman he loves.
Too bad the gods have all the power. Too bad he is just a pawn in a cosmic game.
Too bad ... for the gods.

### About the Author
I'm a technology journalist, an author, and a hockey player. I cover Apple and Twitter for VentureBeat. Most of my days are spent talking to startups and developers, and covering the latest and hottest technology news. Before journalism, I worked extensively in technology: managing teams of developers, building mobile apps, creating learning management systems, and managing products. I have always loved science fiction, and cut my teeth on Asimov and Heinlein. I still read at least one SF book a week. My first novel, No Other Gods, was written mainly in the wee hours of the morning, before the "real work" started. I'm hopeful, however, that enough readers will like it that I'll be able to write full time. I've also published a personal iPad app, the Wonderful Colorful House, which is the result of a bedtime story I told my daughter when she was just three. I'm 41, live in Vancouver, Canada, and have a wife, two sons, and a daughter. I have a BA in English and a Masters in educational technology.
