Brief synopsis of Frontiers; "Adrian Kleinbergen's epic tale of love, loss, betrayal, and flight takes Captain Marla Fireclaw far beyond the lands she knows. Lieutenant Longburrow, a member of a race she despises, gradually earns her trust, her respect, and finally her love.Then, he strands himself in a danger-strewn wasteland to save her life. His sacrifice will put them and their culture both on the road to redemption.""Originally serialized by MU Press."

Adrian has also worked as a professional comics inker for a variety of magazines and artists and has displayed and sold artwork in a number of venues and galleries.
