For this special presentation, we feature our first-ever guest author Matthew Fromm. But fear not: our trusty narrator Jonathan Kilgore remains at the helm.

When fire altogether wilder than that brought on by the Santa Ana winds sweeps across Los Angeles, a highly trained and secret team of elite warriors is dispatched to deal with its source. Instead of an unattended campfire, a downed power line, or a random lightning strike, think something more fire-breathing.

Follow intrepid SAS veteran George as he leaps from a C-130 into the inferno to fight fire with fire, all while carrying a longsword that would make Mad Jack Churchill proud in: “Hunters”

This week's episode is a follow up to our previous special episode. Following the events of Dick Winchester Book 1 (The Opening Salvo), the war for the soul of the Arlington, Virginia food delivery industry is turning hot. A ragtag band of underground delivery drivers must overcome the combined forces of Öber Eats, FloorDash, and their local real estate kingpin backer. Assuming the lizardmen of the Deepest State don’t defeat them first.

"The Deflation" kicks off as Dick finishes delivering an order, only to discover something wrong with his trusty silver steed: a 2018 Toyota RAV4. Leaning at an unnatural angle. A combat knife sticking out of the tire.

As Dick’s eyes roam from the known meeting place of the local Öber Eats union chapter he parked in front of to the “Proudly delivered by Öber Eats” sticker slapped on the savaged tire, will he solve this whodunit in time?

This week's episode is a special feature that may be some of the best comedy writing I've ever done. "The Box with No Name" created title character Dick Winchester, a protagonist so zany and fun that he in turn inspired me to create the Dick Winchester Adventures, a series that just debuted with Book 1: The Opening Salvo.

"The Box with No Name" kicks off as Dick receives an anonymous package delivered to his doorstep by drone. No return address. No shipping label. A package on a one-way trip that ends with him.

As the box starts ticking in his hands, will Dick solve the mystery of what the package holds in time?
