Summary
Soldier. Spy. Statesman. Gabriel Espinoza is dead, yet living in a world where he never sees those he loves and cares about. Every day of his existence is one of fear; however, this fear keeps his edge sharpened and his senses honed while he continues to fight for his Emperor. Fear can be a useful tool in the proper hands... Andrew Espinoza is both dead and alive, caught in a juxtaposition of identities that not even he can truly understand. He embraced his fear long before, and it has made him a loyal servant to the Dominion of Man. It also is his driving force, as he knows it is a double-edged sword that can either hurt him or save him... Kevin Espinoza is alive and well, doing what he can to bring about true equal rights throughout the Dominion as his world's Representative in Parliament. He knows history and can attest to the notion that fear can drive mankind to shape great nations, or destroy them all... Fear is a wondrous tool, for it can drive a man to many acts of bravery - and defiance.

The Rise of Prince: 1958-1988
Summary
The Rise of Prince: 1958-1988 is the definitive account of the formative years of this iconic artist. More so than any previous book, this volume provides a dramatic, compelling narrative of Prince's rise to fame. The prologue provides a gripping, day-to-day account of the events that unfolded between November 2015 and April 21, 2016, when Prince tragically died at Paisley Park. The great distance traveled by Prince during his final months of tours of Australia and New Zealand, a funeral in the Bay Area for former muse and lover Denise Matthews, a tour of Canada, and a final return home mirrored Prince's nomadic childhood, to which the book returns after detailing the events of 2016. Hahn, writing in collaboration with veteran author Tiebert, brings his extraordinary experience to this book, which includes fully updated and expanded elements of his controversial 2003 biography Possessed, a sought-after collector's item that remains a classic of Prince literature. The Rise of Prince provides a complete reordering of what is known about Prince's formative years based on previously unavailable documents and persons never before interviewed. It provides newly unearthed information about early relationships and collaborations; a detailed account of the no-holds-barred competition with Rick James on the 1981 tour that set the course for Prince's meteoric rise; a vivid depiction of the recording of Prince's album at Sunset Sound, including a little-known encounter with Sly Stone; and much more. Ultimately, The Rise of Prince tells the very human story of how Prince overcame adversity to achieve one of the greatest runs of creativity in pop history, creating an unparalleled universe of side projects, alter-egos and lovers along the way.

Deathlords
Summary
Gabriel Espinoza’s loyalty had never been called into question, yet a dagger had been slid into his family’s back by outsiders. Gabriel has had his revenge, but it came at such a cost that it might be more than the Dominion can pay. He believes he has nothing left to fight for, save a child he cannot claim as his own. Christine Dai is a wanted woman. While she doesn’t understand why she is being hunted by the agency she had once called her second family, she knows she has two children to protect - the child growing within her and the terrifying niece of the man she loved. Andrew Espinoza knows where his loyalties lie. However, two distinct aspects battle for his mind and soul. "Above All Else, Family Remains" was the single tenet of the Espinoza family. Yet if he wants to truly save the Dominion of Man, he will have to be something more than a spy - and someone else entirely. Betrayal is the only truth which remains for them. A bitter truth, yet it is better than a lie.
