Edited at the end of June, this gritty historical novel set in New York in the early twentieth century is available in paperback or as an eBook.

A turn-of-the-century Jewish boy punches his way into the gangs of New York.

When Alex Cohen arrives in 1915 America, he seizes the land of opportunity with both hands and grabs it by the throat. But success breeds distrust and Alex must choose between controlling his gang and keeping his friend alive. What would you do if the person you trusted most is setting you up to die at your enemies’ hands?

The first book in the Alex Cohen series is a violent historical novel, which rips through the early years of the Jewish New York mob. Leopold Borstinski’s gripping crime noir beats at the chest of every reader with a bloody fist.

Edited in September, the prequel to the Mars Frontier series, tells the story of the first manned mission to Mars.

Falcon is carrying humanity’s first manned mission to Mars in 2028. Four courageous astronauts are putting their lives on the line as the world eagerly watches.

As the astronauts struggle to survive isolation, insecurities, and each other, can they set mankind on the path to the stars?

For veteran Flight Director Douglas Schmidt, something doesn’t feel right. He’s been in NASA long enough to know when critical information is being withheld. Can he lay his fears to rest before the astronauts reach Mars? Little does he know that the NASA Administrator is hiding a secret. A secret that began when Falcon was built. A secret that could ultimately doom Falcon and its crew.

Deception is the prequel to the highly anticipated sci-fi human colonization series, Mars Frontier. If you like The Expanse or The Martian Chronicles, then you’ll love Paul Rix’s brand new human adventure to Mars.

Mars! Mankind’s next step in space exploration and colonization. Landing is the easy part. Survival? Well that’s another matter.

The mission quickly becomes a matter of life and death for the twelve astronauts. As they struggle to establish a foothold on Mars, something is lurking out of sight. Something that will change them forever.
