Specimen G-13 is an episodic series based around the first Jinimaru Thomas encountered in his dreams. At present, the story is divided into a trilogy of novels, with multiple spin-offs both completed (Subject 218) and in development.

Specimen G-13 is intended for more mature audiences as it contains advanced language that may be difficult for younger people to read, whilst also having increased levels of violence, foul language, abuse, and narcotic use in each volume. For these reasons, it is advised those under the age of 15 do not read this series.

Books for Specimen G-13 are displayed in chronological order.

Specimen G-13: Origins

This book is the “Galactic Federation” prequel to Specimen G-13. This story is told to all Federation residents, including aspiring new arrivals to Edris.

The Jinimaru are a race of humanoid-like felines on an evolutionary par with Humans. They are still primitive in appearance, but their cognitive abilities and guile are far more advanced than what we may see on the surface. One such ability is the telling of tales, many of which are based on fact within their culture. In ORIGINS we explore an actual event within the Jinimaru history, that is not one of those simple fairy tales they might tell their cubs. Delving back millions of years to their alien ancestors, the Feles, leading to the ultimate destruction of the civilisation. Who were the Feles, and what evil brought about their doom? And who brought it upon themselves to bring the Feles back as Jinimaru?

Specimen G-13

Not much is known about the strange experiments that take place in the Biological Weapons Research Institute located in Arizona, but one thing spawned from its depths is whispered through the network of scientists across the globe: Specimen G-13. A Jinimaru like no other, intelligence beyond what was deemed possible for a beast. He was a marvellous achievement and would have been the start of great things to come for modern medicine. However, perhaps he was made just a bit too smart.
G-13 escapes amid a relocation procedure and is on the run, armed with enough tricks, gadgets and knowledge to fool anyone he meets into believing he is Human. The worlds greatest hunters are no match for him, and the institute in charge of his recapture, JRACS, are pushed to their limits. They turn to a common bounty hunter called Julien Hoskins; a man with no knowledge in dealing with Maru. Soon Julien wishes he hadn’t taken the job, after he uncovers more than just the true origins of the beast he is hunting.
With G-13 able to blend in with Humans, how can Julien ever hope to find and stop him?

Specimen G-13: Wrath of The Lancer

The alien world of Edris is reborn, now occupied by Jinimaru who once called Earth their home. Free from the tribal lives and fearful co-existing with Humans as minorities, the space-felines rightfully call Edris their own personal Heaven, however not everything is as it seems.

Edris’ civilisation is divided by politics, brought about by their introduction into a circle of Alien Communities; the Federation of Jinimaru, a government and monarchy set up by the Galactic Federation, are teetering on the brink of war with the opposing government, set up by the natives, dubbed the Feles Union.

Countless Federal members have been assassinated by a Feles Union operative known only as the Lancer, and new arrivals Gakidou, Kalpa and Kate have to take matters into their own hands to stop the Lancer from turning Edris into their own personal Hell.

Specimen G-13: Heart of the Feles

The conclusion to the “Specimen G-13” trilogy, set several years after “Wrath of the Lancer”.

Gakidou, having completed a long investigation, discovers evidence in the Grek’tal ruins revealing that an alien race manipulated the Axion Empire to attack Edris, countering the Federation’s belief that the Axion were solely to blame for the Feles Extinction.

This revelation strains relationships within the Galactic Federation and incites ideological divides among the space felines on Edris. The central conflict revolves around responding to the true culprits of the catastrophe.

Kalpa and Gakidou represent opposing views; Kalpa advocates for Galactic Community-imposed justice, while Gakidou, possessing the means for devestation, argues for the complete elimination of the alien race responsible, revealing the reasons behind Jonas’s initial decision not to take Gakidou to Edris.

Can Kalpa sway Gakidou’s mind from the hate, or will Jonas’ predictions become a reality?

Guidebooks

Guides are provided for those who wish to enrich their reading experiences further, or who would like to learn more about the Feles, Jinimaru and other creatures found in the Specimen G-13 or Jinimaru Folklore stories for their own projects.

Guides are considered factual reading and are only recommended to those who enjoy that style of writing and take longer to produce than other books. They can also end up going through multiple revisions as I learn more about the world in my dreams, and as the new information refines and/or changes existing information.

Guides contain all information in one book, Handbooks only offer “the essentials” and are a small portion of what is in the Guides.
Books labelled as Cosplay Editions are identical to the Standard Edition only with a cover or size that is better suited to be used as part of a costume, as these guidebooks also exist in the Jinimaru world.
