Dan Hanks’ standalone novels span several genres while maintaining a consistent voice. Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire (2020) is an Indiana Jones-style adventure. Swashbucklers (2021) mixes nostalgia with supernatural threats in a story about childhood friends reuniting. The Way Up is Death (2024) adds another genre combination to his catalog.
Each book works on its own, and together they show Hanks’ range within genre fiction. Readers who enjoy one will likely appreciate the others for their shared tone of adventure and wit.
