A NEW CAPTAIN HAWKLIN ADVENTURE

Available for Patreon Subscribers a NEW Captain Hawklin Adventure, Shattered written by Hawklin creator, Charles F. Millhouse 

1933: 

Seeking solace from the ever-watchful eyes of the press and the demands of a restless world, Captain Steven Hawklin retreats into the rugged tranquility of a nearby mountain range. There, amidst towering pines and crisp alpine air, he hopes to find peace, or at least a momentary escape. 

But serenity is short-lived. When a cunning adversary from his past resurfaces, driven by a thirst for revenge and secrets long thought buried, Steven becomes the target of a sinister psychological assault, one that threatens to unravel his very sanity. 

As the line between memory and madness begins to blur, it's up to his trusted allies, Hardy and Oz, to track him down before he’s lost forever to the shadows of his own mind. 

Will Captain Hawklin overcome this unrelenting enemy? Or will the mountains become his final resting place?

Set between the books: the Jade Dragon and the Underwater Menace
