The end of the world begins with a spark…
In a post-apocalyptic Earth still reeling from the Sudden War, Nestor Grey, disillusioned former agent of the Far Agency, stumbles upon a child with no name and a terrible power: the ability to wield Mindfire. But with great power comes great danger, and unknown forces are hot on their heels, determined to capture the child and use his abilities for their own sinister purposes.
As Nestor and the boy race to uncover the truth behind the child’s past, they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, hunted by enemies both seen and unseen. In a world wracked by bio-terror, political oppression, and the increasingly-powerful Aether, the stakes have never been higher.
With heart-pumping action, high-stakes intrigue, and a dystopian world that feels all too real, the first book in the Mindfire trilogy is a thrilling sci-fi adventure that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Don’t miss out on this epic journey through a dark and dangerous future.
Embark on a pulse-pounding adventure through a world in turmoil in Mind’s Eye, the riveting second installment of the thrilling trilogy begun with Mindfire.
Years have passed since Nestor Grey encountered a mysterious, formidable child, triggering a cataclysmic and destructive sequence of events. In the aftermath of this chaos, Fen is nowhere to be found, and Grey missing. Now, Blane searches for a way to protect all her friends, fighting to shield them not only from the machinations of the Reclamation Authority but also from enigmatic forces that lurk in the shadows.
Blane’s search will take her across the Reclamation and beyond, through uncharted territories both physical and metaphysical. Amidst shifting alliances and opaque power-plays, with both our world and the world which lies beneath in chaos, “Mind’s Eye” thrusts you into a dark and dangerous future where every revelation reshapes the fate of humanity.
Delve further into the dystopian future revealed in Mindfire. Mind’s Eye, the second book in the trilogy, is another exciting sci-fi thriller you won’t want to put down.
Once, humanity lost itself to the machine. Now the era of the Body Butchers is a fading memory and mankind awaits the coming singularity, long predicted and long delayed. The Conception: the birth of a true AI that will lead them to a new era.
For Keri, this epoch-making event barely registers. She spends her days like so many others, waiting for her chance to enter the spheres, the online realm where knowledge is instant and the mind a mere gateway to something far greater. The time in between these moments is nothing but time to kill.
But when a man dies in her arms she finds herself protecting the only remaining copy of the inchoate AI from forces she had barely realised existed. Hunted by a creature more machine than man, she is forced to reconsider everything she thought she knew about the world, and decide who the real monster is… before it is too late.
The Ministry has always been part of our world, operating in the moral grey area of radical thought and revolutionary technology. It works to prevent intellectual contagion in an era where a dangerous thought can spread across the globe faster than a pandemic, and more virulently.
Jacob Trials is one of their star agents, a man who has carried out actions both heroic and villainous, both necessary and brutal. He has given over his very body to the cause, with machinery that he barely understands adapting and enhancing him.
When an unknown group starts hunting him with a viciousness he can hardly countenance, Trials will be forced to come to terms with loss, betrayal, and a savagery that will change him, and his world, forever.
‘When you’re in hell, only demons can save you…’
For a thousand suns humanity has lived on this world, a world of advanced knowledge and medieval ways, a world whose history has been lost in a fog of tales and fragments of ancient learning. Upon this planet a young man is betrayed and sold by those he called family. Lost and alone, he discovers a weapon more powerful than anything he could imagine.
Now, holding the power to level entire cities, he may be the last hope for a humanity on the edge of extinction. But the howl of the pack has changed, and what was once a sound of comfort and protection brings only terror as it echoes across the mountains.
When high technology meets low society, when the natural clashes with the artificial, when the very world itself seems bent on eradicating humankind, those caught in the middle must choose, though every choice brings with it its own loss. A choice between humanity, and the pack.
“The Pack” Spanning time, space, and consciousness.
The Advanced Series:
This is not a world of heroes…
In the near future, individuals who would come to be known as the Advanced are born across the globe. They may have abilities far surpassing scientific understanding, but for all that they are still only human, and have to make their way in a world that values hard currency over great deeds. So when humanity’s ability to decide its own future is cut short with the arrival of a fleet of mysterious ships in the sky, they can only watch as the world is subjugated and humanity imprisoned within its own cities.
Now these super-powered individuals must find a way to overcome a mechanical monster of unknown power and the people who would betray their own race for personal gain. It will be a race against time, and the fate of the planet is at stake. And even should they somehow succeed, a far greater threat is approaching…
A sometimes violent, sometimes comic story of ordinary people with extraordinary powers, caught in the eye of the storm.
