Xander Stone: The Bounty Hunter #1

Cigar-smoking. Sarcastic. Knuckle-brawling. Indestructible.
Xander Stone is a walking war machine with one simple dream: score one last big payday, disappear somewhere sunny, crack open a cold drink, and live life on his own terms, no contracts, no blood, no ghosts. But ghosts don’t stay buried. Riding through the streets on his flame-spitting motorcycle Misty Fire, Xander hunts criminals for cash with a Desert Eagle in one hand and brute force in the other. He doesn’t chase justice, he chases freedom. And if a few bones break or bodies drop along the way, that’s just the cost of business.
Everything changes when a routine bounty drags Xander back into the nightmare he escaped as a child: The Phoenix Project, a secret government experiment that turned orphaned kids into weapons. The past he thought was burned to ash comes roaring back, along with former friends twisted into monsters, enemies born from betrayal, and a shadowy figure known only as Mr. Gray, the man who sold their futures for power.
Now, Xander isn’t just being hunted, he’s being tested.
As his city descends into chaos and storms gather both literal and metaphorical, Xander must confront what he truly is: a survivor, a weapon, or something far more dangerous. Because when the past comes calling, there’s no riding off into the sunset.
There’s only fire.
There’s only blood.
And there’s only Xander Stone.
Things are about to go WILD in Glory Crown Heights.
And when the dust settles… only the strongest will still be standing.
