I’ve known Shawn Jones and his work since he first started writing Warrior’s Scar, book one of his series, The Warrior Chronicles. Shawn Jones is an Alpha male. Shawn Jones is honorable and believes in honor, integrity, valor.
Shawn Jones writes about an Alpha male — Cort Addison — writing honestly from the warrior’s perspective, because he was, himself, a soldier.
I have a physicist-friend in Canada that I run my science by regularly. I love the moments when he writes back, "That's totally reasonable. Go with it." I have to read a lot of science papers to keep up with the latest theories, and more than once I have had to change something to keep my science accurate. But it's worth it in the end. In my opinion, Clarke's "Hazards of Prophecy" essay should be required reading for sci-fi writers. I like to keep my science plausible, and if I ever decide anything is impossible I will start writing in another genre. (From “SciFi Author Shawn Jones Interviewed” by FCEtier)

Cortland Addison, a reclusive military specialist from the early 21st century, travels three hundred and four years into the future with Sköll, his rescued wolf.

Facing new enemies and finding new friends, Cortland Addison learns that he cannot escape his past, and only a man willing to abandon peace can secure it.

From how-to books to enough weaponry and powered armor to wage a war, Addison was well prepared to face whatever challenges awaited him. Or so he thought.
