New York Times bestselling author Larry Correia’s latest venture, American Paladin, obliterated its $5,000 Kickstarter goal in a jaw-dropping 45 seconds. Now, with over $250,000 raised and counting, the Ark Press campaign has become a blazing testament to readers’ hunger for unfiltered, hard-hitting stories that defy the mainstream’s cookie-cutter narratives. As the clock winds down to the final week, ending October 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM CDT, the excitement is electric with the announcement of their final stretch goal- the official American Paladin theme song!
When the American Paladin Kickstarter hits the $300k mark, Ark press is commissioning honky-tonk alt. country legends Monte Warden and the Wagoneers to make an original recording of the Have Gun — Will Travel theme song specifically for the Larry Correia American Paladin Series Launch. All backers will get a free digital download of the brand-new, exclusive recording of "The Ballad of Paladin" by Monte Warden and the Wagoneers and those who back at the Invictus or Legend Levels will get the digital download plus an exclusive 45 rpm vinyl record of the song. The vinyl will be in an American Paladin record sleeve and will feature a B-side that will be exclusive to the vinyl, not anywhere else.
American Paladin thrusts readers into the gritty world of Mike Spears, a lone drifter and monster hunter navigating the eerie “Sometimes Places”—otherworldly borderlands where reality unravels and eldritch terrors lurk. Amplified by the commanding voice of Nick Searcy (Justified) in the audiobook, this tale is a magnet for those craving bold, authentic narratives that don’t bow to corporate sanitization. It’s a story that resonates with readers who feel sidelined by the likes of Barnes & Noble, delivering the raw, values-driven storytelling they demand. Plus, a companion graphic novel, penned by Correia and vividly illustrated by Alex Wisner, brings the American Paladin universe to life in stunning visuals, making it a must-have for collectors.
This isn't just a book drop; it's a rallying cry for a community ready to reclaim storytelling from the grip of conformity. With the campaign barreling toward its October 9, 2025, 10:00 AM CDT finale, now's the zero-hour to pledge, snag those fleeting add-ons, and propel the stretch goals into overdrive. Dive in at the Kickstarter page and stake your claim in the fight for fiction that dares to be real.
