Ignition 2084
Repulsor boots and bulletproof cloaks. Heat-treated chains on their wrists attached to diamond-shaped titanium blades. The Reikiken, a heated sword made of tungsten that can cut or burn through almost anything.
The year is 2084, and the Hanzo Gear’s done a lot to level the playing field against Kingdom Scarlet in the last 38 years. After the Second Civil War destroyed America in 2020, the minorities displaced by the autocratic Kingdom split into three factions, all watching for just the right moment to strike back.
The Kabuto Sanctuary built a network of tunnels during the war, and relied on stealth and sabotage. The Yoroi Alliance, nestled in the Grand Canyon, lay numerous deadly traps to keep the outsiders at bay. The Yaiba Insurrection have continuously engaged their enemies directly, and when they were pushed to the brink of extinction, they created the Hanzo Gear.
The Reds are on the move again, more determined than ever to bring the other factions to heel. John Hamlin is the strongest warrior that the Insurrection has to offer, but when his home is invaded and the people he loves are threatened, captured or killed, the strength that had preserved his peace for years is called into question.

“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 Revews
“5-Stars Recommended” Ignition 2084 is an angry beast with a crazy collide-o-scope plot that bristles with intelligence. A kinetic combination of visual style, amazingly detailed characterizations, and original combat tech in ‘Hanzo Gear’ and the Reiloken ‘Aura Sword’ that practically jumps off the page!”

Eruption 2085
Smoke. Rubble. Darkness. Fear. It took three months to ignite a war between the factions, and three months more for the fuse to blow. The Yaiba Insurrection, Kabuto Sanctuary and Yoroi Alliance have all suffered massive casualties while the Scarlet Kingdom stands to regroup. Allegiances have been challenged, supplies cut, leaders lost, and communications disrupted to catastrophic degree. John Hamlin, former Lightning Dragon of the Violet Shadows and new Director of the Yaiba, must decide how to proceed when some of his brothers are lost while yet another stands in the very seat of power that they all swore to destroy.

“As the reader becomes more immersed in this world, the depth and richness of the narrative become evident. While it might be tempting to categorize Eruption 2085 as a straightforward action novel, it offers much more, with a substantial storyline underpinning the vivid scenes of conflict and confrontation. This novel is a testament to Hampton's skill in creating a vivid and compelling world that captivates and entertains.”

The Word of Y’Neshu: Heart of the Ijeya
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 towards a life beyond the street, the more he realizes that the threat of that night follows him still…
The Word of Y'Neshu: Heart of the Ijeya is a 112,000-word Pan-African fantasy novel that blends linguistic and cultural aspects from across the African diaspora to create an alternate universe that taps into the power of language and culture. Audiences will be treated to interesting takes on legendary creatures from a number of African mythologies, vibrant environments untapped by the modern age, magic born from the soul of Y'Neshu's people, and Languages of Power born from hard-sought commonalities in African phonetics. This is more than a story; this is the first step on a bridge to a heritage that those in the African diaspora have been deprived of for too long, and a powerful expression of everything that we are. This is Y'Neshu, and I bid you welcome.
