Genetically adaptive cyborgs, vast alien civilizations, and burgeoning A.I. collide in this dark Sci-fi Thriller.

Edith lands on an alien planet after a hellish three-month voyage in a dark, frigid, and auto-piloted prison capsule. She is met with the overwhelming brightness of a planet revolving around two suns and receives a slap by way of introduction from the impatient guard escorting her. However, the guard is the least of her problems.

Edith finds–after booting her dry systems–that some of her wet memory has been corrupted. Her tech implants state, unequivocally, that her own mind cannot be trusted, and she struggles to reason out precisely why she was sent to a corporate prison planet.

Not one to let some missing memory deter her, Edith sets out to reclaim both her memory and her freedom.

Life is the most powerful of all forces in the universe. It will survive any obliteration. Life on Earth, unforgiving and beautifully dangerous, is not the same as it was four thousand years ago. Technology dependent humans lost control and as a result, almost destroyed themselves. In this age, knowledge is currency. Technology is magic. Evolution prevails. A group of travelers is on a mission of the Seven Kingdoms in search of the greatest food of the lands. It is a covert mission. They are spies searching out the remnants of technology for the self-proclaimed Emperor. Together they must face the evil that lurks in this world of unknown risks to find the good that remains.

IN A UNIVERSE FILLED WITH DECEIT, THE ONLY HOPE IS A STARSHIP CAPTAIN WHO CAN’T TELL A LIE.

Tayne doesn’t have a wicked bone in his body. He’s a good man – and has been for 522 years of genetically prolonged life.

But when a credit-hungry scientist steals a revolutionary formula that could save trillions of lives, Tayne’s principles are pushed to their breaking point.

Then, when he’s forced to team up with two of the most treacherous starship captains imaginable, the temptation to break the rules is almost too much to bear.

Before long, Tayne’s itching to disobey every oath he ever swore as allies, enemies and everyone in between try to stop him from retrieving the formula – by any means necessary.

And if he can weather that storm, he just has one more thing to do.

Put a stop to a plot that could destroy the entire universe…

In 2035, Dr. Janet Hogan makes a stunning discovery: infected by five species of naturally-mutated viruses, every one of earth’s nine billion inhabitants has become immortal.

Or have they? By the time Janet learns that this immortality is an illusion, it’s too late to change people’s beliefs. Some love her for creating this miracle and the coming paradise they long for. Others hate her for what they see ahead: immoral behavior without consequence, overpopulation, famine, and worse. Zealots demand that she save people’s souls, humanity, the earth… or the viruses.

Or else.

Janet realizes this awful truth: no matter what she does, no matter what anyone else wants, sooner or later, billions will die and she’ll be blamed. Will she live long enough to figure a way out of this trap?
Meanwhile, the viruses are still mutating.

Dr. Janet Hogan believes in late 2035 that she’s found a partial cure for the Eternity Plague viruses, but before she can test her idea, an assassin shoots her in the head. While she’s in emergency surgery, her medical team discovers that her skin is turning into a shell. It closes over her face the next day, leaving her no way to breathe. Or eat.

And yet, she survives.

Janet isn’t the first to chrysalize. Or the last. Initially, only the seriously injured chrysalize, but then even healthy people all around the world do. By New Year’s Day, 2036, the pandemic seems unstoppable.

Yet not everyone chrysalizes. A group of survivors struggle to survive at Reverend Will Baxter’s church in Raleigh, North Carolina as society collapses. Will they live long enough to find out what will emerge from the chrysalises? And what will happen then?

Only the strong will survive when civilization collapses.

Barnard’s Star, light years away from Earth, went supernova. Now, six years later, the influence of that catastrophe is just reaching our planet. When the resultant EMP strikes Earth, the world is sent back to the Stone Age. Yet it soon grows evident there are worse things hidden in the dark matter released with the EMP. Human aggression goes off the charts. Violent eruptions become normal. Small disagreements become bloodbaths. Combined with the effects of the EMP, just surviving becomes a challenge.

Josh Standing took an oath to serve and protect those of their North Carolina community. But his drive to rescue tomorrow’s troubled youth has created a rift between him and his wife, Maxine, that he’s not sure he can fix. Now Josh again finds himself torn between his duty and his family—stuck on a ship in the Atlantic…
