Serendipity

Ghost Warrior #1 / 2
by John Van Stry
Serendipity (Ghost Warrior #1) by John Van Stry
Unrated

Nash has got a pretty good thing going on. A hot girl friend, who always takes him back, money whenever he needs it, the respect - no matter how grudgingly given - of his peers, and a safe place to lay his head each night when he goes to sleep. For one of the 'animal people' working the underground of the recently rebuilt Vegas, what more could he want?

Sure his memory is sketchy and he hasn't a clue of where he came from or how he came to be. But living in a world of awakened gods, magic users, high tech gadgets, monsters and all sorts of mythical creatures, well that's just par for the course! As a freelance runner, Nash has got a solid rep, even if it is small time. But as long as he's getting fed, having fun, and getting laid, what else is there in life?

Well, maybe that contract for picking up some gamer nerd. If he could score that one, well that would definitely move him up.

Now if only Coyote hadn't taken an interest in him...

John Van Stry

John Van Stry

John Van Stry’s storytelling journey is as diverse and intriguing as the worlds he creates on the page. Born on Long Island, New York, he charted a unique course through life—one that saw him don a variety of hats, from aerospace engineer to martial arts instructor. His background in engineering, robotics, and flight test engineering would eventually lend a technical precision to his writing, grounding his imaginative worlds in the possibility of what could be.

But it’s not just technology that fuels his stories. Van Stry’s passion for adventure and exploration—whether on the back of a motorcycle or soaring through the skies as a licensed pilot—shapes the thrilling narratives he weaves. He’s a man who’s as comfortable navigating the unknown as he is creating new realms for his readers to explore. These influences can be seen in the depth of his Portals of Infinity series, where high-stakes adventures and personal growth unfold across a universe of infinite possibilities.

Beyond the technical expertise and wide-ranging interests, Van Stry’s fiction dives deep into the human experience. Themes of survival, identity, and self-discovery are at the heart of his books, with characters who find themselves navigating both physical and emotional landscapes. In works like Summer’s End, readers are taken on a coming-of-age journey through a future where humanity’s expansion into space does little to erase the timeless struggles of growing up.

John’s storytelling is reflective of his own multifaceted nature—layered, thoughtful, and always exploring the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether it’s the expansive world-building in his science fiction or the deeply personal character arcs he crafts, he invites readers to join him in worlds that challenge, excite, and resonate. A former martial artist and an adventurer at heart, Van Stry’s works are imbued with the spirit of someone who has seen the world from many angles—and who shares it through characters and stories that feel as vivid and dynamic as life itself.
