Bruce Davis’ Full Brick Cave Bibliography

Platinum Magic by Bruce Davis

The debut Fantasy novel from Author Bruce Davis is magic, mystery and murder woven together launching a fast paced engaging series. When King’s Agents Simon Buckley and Haldron Stonebender raid a suburban farmhouse, they expect to find an illegal bomb factory full of Orc terrorists. Instead, they end up killing the sister of the current Elf ruler, turning a straightforward police raid into an international incident. Now, Simon and his team must battle terrorists, gangsters, and their own superiors to find the truth behind the High-Elf’s involvement and avert a war.

Thieves Profit by Bruce Davis

Zack Mbele has a problem. The Profit is in hock for repair costs and Kwai Chang Wu, a mobster, has bought the bank that holds the note. Either he does a job for Wu, or he’ll lose his ship. To make matters worse, his friend, Rabbit, is kidnapped, his crewmember’s family is brutally attacked, and his ex-wife, Cleo, is acting suspiciously. When Zack and his crew find themselves facing off with vicious crime bosses, criminal conspirators, deadly gangsters and a sinister goon with a bent for torture and killing, it isn’t a question of how high the body count will go, but who will make it out alive.

Glowgems for Profit by Bruce Davis

Zack Mbele, captain of the independent freighter Profit, needs cash fast. There’s a loan payment due on the ship, not to mention a bogus Customs duty imposed by a crooked official. They’ll seize his ship if he doesn’t pay up and he has few prospects. When an old friend calls with a lead on a job, Zack isn’t too picky about obeying the letter of the law. All he has to do is smuggle someone out of Highpoint, a huge space station orbiting between the Earth and the Moon.

It’s not all that easy, as a beautiful assassin and the Red Dragons gang complicate things. Suddenly Zack is involved in a maze of double-cross and murder as he races the Dragons and a shadowy para-military army for the greatest prize of all.

Gold Magic by Bruce Davis

When four Orc children are found dead in a vacant lot, victims of a foul Blood magic ritual, Simon Buckley and his Magic Enforcement team know they have to solve the case quickly before the Hollows explode into violence.

Their investigation takes them from the mean streets of Cymbeline to the bucolic farmlands of the Grey Havens and ultimately to the Royal Palace and a secret so volatile that it threatens to destroy the Commonwealth and all that Simon holds dear.

Silver Magic by Bruce Davis

Three days of riots have left the Hollows a war zone. The fragile racial, social and economic fractures that ran under Cymbeline have ruptured with seismic intensity leaving hundreds dead. Freshly promoted Lieutenant Simon Buckley is assigned to a flying squad responding to newly discovered bodies. But he finds that not all the deaths are due to simple violence born of racial hatred and desperation. Someone is using the chaos to cover foul murder. Simon’s investigation threatens the fragile peace left in the aftermath of the riots and leads his teams to discover a deeper conspiracy, one that threatens the very foundation of the Commonwealth: the Royal Family.

These Nior infused titles perfectly balance fantastical fantasy with police procedural, insuring every fan of either or both will have a satisfying read.

Futurewords II: A Brick Cave Anthology

Designed as the anthology series for Brick Cave authors, Futurewords features short science fiction and fantasy.

Profit and Loss: Stories from the Profit Logbooks by Bruce Davis

The Profit was living up to her name for the first time since Zack Mbele had stolen her from the Martian Navy in the chaos at the end of the Reunification War.

He was earning a good living for my crewmates, and himself, and it was all honest money. It was what Cleo had always wanted – a home built on a stable business. Zack once thought it was what he wanted, too.

So why did it chafe on him so? On Highpoint after a successful charter job, Zack decides to look up Akira Kensai, an old acquaintance. But Akira is dead and his brother, Tanaka Kensai, turns to Zack for help in solving the mystery of his death. When people start dying, Zack realizes the plot is bigger than just the death of one honest man, especially when Zack's old enemy, Kwai Hong is involved.

Profit Motives by Bruce Davis

The Profit is living up to her name for the first time since Zack Mbele stole her from the Martian Navy. After using the money from a big score to upgrade the ship’s living quarters, Zack and crew market her as a high-class charter yacht to the rich and famous. They’re welcome most everywhere they go (except Ceres and Kwai Hong One, but you can’t please everyone). Even their reputation as pirates and hard-case smugglers works to their advantage with clients who enjoy the illusion of danger.

Life is good, if a bit boring.

But that all changes when Deuce’s daughter is abducted, and the crew is forced back into operational mode to help get her back. Soon, they're facing down black ops Revenants and Mongolian terrorists and hunting Zack's nemesis,  Colonel Metternich.

Wait, Deuce has a daughter?

Aluminum Magic by Bruce Davis

She’s a prisoner somewhere in the Havens, possibly in her own father’s home, and Simon is determined to get her back. But to do that, he’ll need help. He recruits a team of shadow mercenaries, men who specialize in high-risk operations and anonymity. With help from Kermal Brackenfield and the Cabal of Orc Clans, they find and rescue Sylvie but at a high cost.

One of their team is killed during the escape, and a high-value prisoner is murdered by an Air spell. Now Simon must choose between loyalty to the team and his duty as a Peacekeeper.

But how do you track down a murderer who doesn’t exist?
