Nick S. Thomas’s standalone novels span a range of genres and time periods. Sherlock Holmes and the Zombie Problem (2010) is a genre mashup from early in his career that drops Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective into a zombie outbreak. Kingdom of Blood (2011) is a dark fantasy set in a violent, medieval-style world.
Maniacs: The Krittika Conflict (2013) is an action-driven sci-fi story, while Wasteland Warriors (2015) drops readers into a ruined landscape where survival depends on fighting ability. The Last Empire (2019) shares its name with Thomas’s six-book series but is a separate standalone work. These five books offer good entry points for readers who want to sample Thomas’s writing across different genres without committing to a full series.
