Hampton, Jordan

Everything was taken from him. His parents were lost, his home destroyed, and his identity supplanted with a name that repeats the symptoms of his brokenness. With a word, the path before him becomes clear, but with every step he takes towars a life beyond the street, the more he realizes that the threat of that night follows him still…

 

Reviews of Hampton’s Works

“In this dystopian thriller set in 2084, uneasy allies in a war-devastated America try to defeat a hostile, oppressive group… This dark, engaging near-future tale teems with action and diverse characters.”

— Kirkus Reviews, Ignition 2084

“The story is a rich blend of genres, incorporating military strategy, science fiction, and fantasy elements. For newcomers to the series, the initial chapters offer an exciting opportunity to immerse oneself in the intricacies of this richly crafted world, with the promise of deeper engagement and understanding as the narrative progresses. Hampton’s writing style is dynamic and multi-layered, reminiscent in some respects of the classic G.I. Joe cartoon series, but with a distinctly literary flair.”

— Literary Titan, Eruption 2085

“Hampton creates an extraordinary world with a rich cultural backdrop. The inclusion of an intricate syllabary and language system, J’Karo, adds an element of authenticity and immersion, reminiscent of Tolkien’s Elvish or Herbert’s Fremen dialect. Y’Neshu and its cities are vibrantly described, with details of their architecture, customs, and landscapes providing a fully realized setting. The story’s blend of African and Afro-futuristic elements sets it apart in the fantasy genre, offering a fresh perspective often underrepresented in mainstream fantasy fiction.”
