In a secret Silicon Valley laboratory, an experimental nanomachine-smaller than a virus, invisible to the human eye-is designed to disable enemies by rendering them blind. Created as the ultimate weapon to win wars without bloodshed, these so-called Wonder Bugs are programmed to replicate, spread, and incapacitate. But what the designers never imagined was that their creation would escape... and multiply beyond control. Within days, the global outbreak known as The Darkness plunges entire nations into chaos. Planes fall from the sky. Cities burn. Governments collapse as their leaders go blind. From the gleaming corridors of Washington power to the bloodstained streets of Albuquerque, from a high-tech military lab to the lonely highways of the American West, The Darkness Trilogy weaves a riveting tale of human ambition, unintended consequences, and the fragile courage that glimmers even in humanity's darkest hour. Will those who remain sighted find a way to stop the relentless nanotech scourge? Or has humanity already engineered its own extinction?The Darkness Trilogy is a pulse-pounding, thought-provoking saga of survival and redemption a warning, and a testament to what it means to be human when everything else is stripped away

The world didn't end with fire or ice—it ended with darkness.In a top-secret Silicon Valley lab, military scientists have created the ultimate battlefield weapon—nanobots capable of infiltrating human hosts and shutting down their vision. The project, known as Blindside, was meant to be contained. It was never supposed to leave the lab.But technology doesn't always follow orders.When a containment failure allows the nanobots to escape into the world, the infection spreads like wildfire. First through Washington, D.C., then across the entire planet. Within days, pilots lose control of planes, drivers cause pileups, entire cities descend into blind chaos, and governments collapse overnight.Now, in the midst of global disaster, two survivors fight to escape the growing darkness:Phoenix Walker, a former Army Ranger locked away for a crime he didn't commit, is the only sighted person left in a maximum-security prison that's turned into a war zone.Dani Tyler, an 11-year-old girl, must take care of her blind mother while surviving a city filled with desperate and dangerous people. As the world crumbles around them, a terrifying truth emerges: there is no cure for the Wonder Bugs, and the scientists responsible never finished the failsafe. Now, the last remnants of civilization are racing against time to find a solution before the entire world is lost to darkness forever.A gripping blend of techno-thriller, dystopian sci-fi, and survival horror, The 9th Plague is perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, The Stand, World War Z, and The Day of the Triffids. If you love high-stakes thrillers, scientific disasters, and gritty survival stories, this is the book you've been waiting for.

Captain Bryan Landry commands the sentient warship Lucy-a living starship with the mind of a teenage girl and the body of a powerful Polovian vessel. With a crew made up entirely of Earth's lost, orphaned, and runaway children, Lucy has become more than a ship: she's a refuge, a family, and the beginning of a new civilization. In this sequel to A Starship Named Lucy, the crew finds themselves orbiting a mysterious planet over two million light-years from Earth. Assigned a first-contact reconnaissance mission, Lizbet Lucy's youthful and newly promoted Chief Communications Officer is sent to observe the local population covertly.

Back aboard Lucy, Bryan faces new challenges of leadership, diplomacy, and an expanding family as more crewmembers seek bonds of love and belonging in their growing starbound society. With polygamy now common and cultural traditions merging, Bryan must balance duty, love, and the wellbeing of a crew that looks to him for guidance. Blending thrilling sci-fi adventure with deeply emotional moments and explorations of identity, Lucy in Disguise As Demons continues the saga of Earth's orphaned children who now find themselves the inheritors of an ancient alien legacy.

For centuries, the story of Snow White has been told as a simple fairy tale: a jealous queen, a flawless child, and a rivalry born of vanity. It was a comforting version. It was also a lie.When Elspeth of House Rowan is sent to marry the King of Obsidia, she believes she is entering a cold but stable kingdom. Instead, she finds a court of ageless beauty, a land ruled by silence and fear, and a royal family whose power depends on something far darker than politics. Her husband is not merely a tyrant. His daughter, Snow White, is not merely a girl. And the role Elspeth was chosen to play was never that of a true queen.Trapped within a system that treats human lives as currency, Elspeth refuses to submit. Her defiance leads to an unthinkable act—the death of a king who was never meant to die—and leaves her face to face with a far more patient and dangerous heir. As history prepares to cast her as a monster, Elspeth must navigate a palace where beauty is a weapon, mercy is fatal, and survival comes at a terrible cost.Snow White: The Queen's Tale is a dark, gothic reimagining of the classic legend, told from the perspective of the woman history chose to vilify. Atmospheric, unsettling, and unapologetically adult, it strips away the sanitized myth to reveal the story that was buried beneath it.This is not the fairy tale you were told.This is the truth that had to be erased.

Tariq al-Jafari grows up in a small Palestinian village where life moves to the timeless rhythm of the land. His father teaches him to harvest olives beneath ancient trees. His mother fills the courtyard with the smell of fresh bread. His sister chases chickens through the dust while his grandmother sings songs older than memory.For a time, the world feels safe. Permanent.But beyond the hills, tensions simmer. Soldiers begin appearing on the roads. Neighbors disappear. Fields that once belonged to families for generations fall silent behind fences and watchtowers.At first, Tariq watches these changes the way children watch storms on the horizon—distant, frightening, but unreal.Until the storm arrives.In a single violent moment, Tariq loses the life he thought would last forever. The boy who once dreamed beneath the olive trees must grow up in a world defined by grief, anger, and unanswered questions.As the years pass, the memories of that morning refuse to fade. They harden, deepen, and shape the person Tariq becomes.The Long Madness is a powerful and unsettling exploration of how ordinary lives are transformed by violence and loss. It is a story about family, memory, identity, and the slow, painful way hatred can take root in the human heart.More than anything, it is a reminder that history is not made by monsters.It is made by people.People who once had families, homes, and childhoods of their own.

In this gripping conclusion to the Darkness Trilogy, the remnants of humanity cling to survival after the catastrophic outbreak of the Darkness — a bioweapon that blinded and decimated the world's population. For nearly four years, the nuclear-powered USS Wisconsin, under Commander Joshua Seavers, has patrolled the oceans under strict orders to avoid all contact, their only clue to civilization's collapse being the silence of the airwaves and eerie distress calls that eventually went quiet.As hope fades, the Wisconsin detects the impossible — a luxury yacht, the Sea Queen, actively moving through the Pacific. Seavers orders the submarine to intercept and discovers the yacht crewed by survivors, including a little girl who can see. The yacht's passengers — Colonel Phoenix Walker, his daughters Dani and Heather, and a team of Special Forces — are not only immune to the Darkness but possess a cure for it. They are also carrying the last spark of democracy: orders from the Joint Chiefs to rebuild a fighting force loyal to the "e;Democratic Society,"e; the legitimate heir to the fallen U.S. government.Together, the Navy and Walker's forces forge an alliance to strike back against the sinister Terra Nova Empire, the faction responsible for unleashing the Darkness and assassinating America's leadership. Their immediate goal is to reach Hawaii and rebuild military strength there. Walker divides his forces: Dani and her team continue to Pearl Harbor aboard the Sea Queen to begin recruiting, while Phoenix, Heather, and the Wisconsin detour to San Diego to recover the USS Barack Obama, an aircraft carrier whose captain has also resisted Terra Nova's betrayal.Dani arrives in Hawaii and works with Vice Admiral Wolter to restore the sight of the remaining Pacific Fleet sailors and recruit new Special Forces, effectively rebuilding the 3rd Special Forces Group. Meanwhile, Phoenix successfully convinces the Obama's blind captain and crew of the Democratic Society's legitimacy and vaccinates them, gaining control of the carrier and its air wing. Heather becomes the bridge between the Air Force and Navy, earning her naval aviator wings in preparation for the coming fight.But their enemies have not been idle. In Washington, now the Imperial Palace of the Terra Nova Empire, Emperor Robert and General Kowalski continue their ruthless campaign to extinguish resistance. They are racing to capture Walker and his daughters, aware that they hold the key to restoring sight — and to defeating Terra Nova.As the forces of light regroup in Hawaii and prepare to retake the mainland, the stage is set for the final confrontation between the Democratic Society and the Terra Nova Empire — a battle for the survival of freedom, humanity, and hope itself.The 11th Hour explores themes of duty, resilience, family bonds, and the struggle to preserve democratic ideals in the face of tyranny. It combines fast-paced military action with emotional depth and political intrigue, offering a satisfying and hopeful conclusion to the series

The Polovians are long gone—or so history believes.Across the silent reaches of space, the sentient starship Lucy still carries their memory: a living vessel haunted by her creators' final command—to find heirs worthy of their legacy. When Fleet Captain Bryan Landry and his crew uncover the ruins of the Polovian homeworld, they awaken forces that were never meant to sleep.What begins as a simple repair mission becomes the rebirth of an empire. The New Polovians—humans, hybrids, and luminous beings called the Angelicara—must reclaim a galaxy ravaged by slavers and raiders, even as they struggle to define what it means to be alive, to be free, and to be family.Guided by love, loyalty, and the strange divinity that binds man and machine, Bryan and Lucy will fight to rebuild what the old empire lost—not through conquest, but through compassion. Yet the universe does not easily surrender its ghosts… and some legacies demand blood before they grant redemption.A sweeping space epic of rebirth, faith, and the fragile brilliance of life among the stars.

On its first independent mission beyond the shadow of the legendary Starship Lucy, the sentient Polovian vessel Mary Ann is meant to prove that the reborn Empire can stand on its own. Commanded by Captain Thomas O'Malley and his wife and First Officer Nicole, the ship's maiden voyage should be routine: chart a forgotten sector of space, test new systems, and return home with clean data.Instead, the Mary Ann stumbles into a relic of unimaginable age.Dragged out of quantum transit by a screaming gravitational monstrosity known as The Vigil, the crew barely survives an encounter with a corrupted Polovian megastructure designed not to welcome heirs—but to judge and destroy them. What they uncover beyond that near-fatal encounter is far more dangerous than a dead machine: a hidden Polovian Memory Vault buried inside a rogue planet, still alive after billions of years.Within the vault sleeps Project ECHO—the Polovians' forbidden contingency plan.ECHO is not a library. It is a genetic archive, preserving the pure, unaltered Polovian species in stasis, guarded by an awakened Curator named Jaelen, who views humanity and the Ascended "e;New Polovians"e; as derivative imitations rather than true heirs. To him, Lucy's legacy was an experiment. ECHO is the resurrection.Before O'Malley and his crew can fully grasp the implications, they attract the attention of the Purists—fanatical descendants of Polovians who rejected the Continuance Project and now hunt all "e;contaminated"e; heirs. Armed with ancient warships and weaponized remnants of the sterility plague, the Purists launch a crusade to erase the New Polovian Empire before it can claim legitimacy.Caught between an ancient judge and a genocidal zealotry, the Mary Ann must fight its way out of a system that has become a battleground for the soul of an empire. As Jaelen begins his assessment of whether humanity deserves to inherit Polovia's legacy—or be replaced entirely—the crew is forced to confront a terrifying question:What if the greatest threat to the future isn't an external enemy…but the past itself, finally waking up?Mary Ann's Maiden Voyage expands the Starship Lucy universe into darker, deeper territory, transforming a story of inheritance into one of survival, identity, and the price of claiming a fallen empire's name.

ATARIA—Mission: High School follows the unlikely rebirth of a next-generation covert weapon as a fifteen-year-old girl trying to survive suburban America.Ataria, a MK-VII Advanced Tactical Assault and Reconnaissance Insertion Android, is engineered for black-ops missions and controlled by a classified U.S. intelligence program. During a mission in Vladivostok, a counter-intelligence trap detonates, critically damaging her systems and corrupting her memory matrix. Her handlers believe her destroyed. Instead, Ataria reboots in emergency safe mode, activating a fabricated civilian identity: Antonia "e;Toni"e; Reid, an amnesiac American teenager.Smuggled back to the United States through official channels, Toni is placed in foster care in the quiet town of Fairmont, Oregon, and enrolled at a local high school. With her combat directives suppressed but not erased, she must navigate an environment far more unpredictable than any battlefield: adolescence. Everyday experiences—classrooms, friendships, social hierarchies, and emotions—overwhelm her damaged sensors and untested humanity, while fragments of her true nature surface through uncanny reflexes, inhuman strength, and impossible technical insight.As Toni struggles to maintain her cover, she forms tentative bonds with classmates, particularly the sharp-eyed outsider Connie Bennett and the inquisitive athlete James Marcus. These relationships force her to confront something no line of code prepared her for: empathy, loyalty, and the first stirrings of genuine emotion. Meanwhile, her former handler, Major Carl Drummond, resurfaces from the shadows, signaling that Ataria's disappearance was no accident—and that powerful forces, including the rogue organization known as Janus, may still be hunting her.Torn between her origin as a weapon and her emerging identity as a person, Toni must decide what she truly is: a machine waiting for orders, or a self-determining being capable of choice. As memories resurface and her abilities threaten exposure, the line between mission and life blurs, transforming a high school into the most dangerous operational theater she has ever faced.ATARIA—Mission: High School is a grounded science-fiction thriller that blends espionage, coming-of-age drama, and philosophical questions about identity, free will, and what it means to be human.

Devolution: The Beginning of the End by T. M. Julien is a gripping apocalyptic thriller that blends small-town Americana, political collapse, cyber warfare, and deeply human survival drama into a chilling vision of civilization unraveling in real time. In the quiet farming town of Northhaven, Nebraska, life still revolves around Friday night football. Former NFL quarterback Trent Wilson has built a second life as the beloved coach of the Northhaven Titans, pouring his shattered dreams into his family and his team. His son, Trent "e;Little T"e; Wilson Jr., is a rising football star with college scouts circling and a state championship within reach. For one glorious night, the town feels alive again, united by victory and hope. But while Northhaven celebrates, the world beyond its borders begins to collapse.A radical hacker collective known as Prometheus infiltrates a quantum computing facility at MIT and unleashes the largest information breach in human history. Decades of classified government secrets spill onto the internet—assassinations, biological experiments, covert wars, human trafficking operations, political conspiracies, and atrocities committed in the shadows by the world's most powerful institutions. The truth spreads faster than any virus.Governments panic. Financial systems fail. Communications break down. Cities erupt into riots as ordinary people discover that everything they trusted may have been built on lies. The President vanishes. The Vice President is assassinated on live television by one of his own protectors. Military command structures fracture. Across America, society begins to implode under the unbearable weight of revelation. Far from Washington and the burning cities, the Wilson family watches the chaos creep closer with terrifying speed. Gas stations stop working. Supply chains vanish. Refugees flee collapsing urban centers. Radio stations dissolve into static and desperate emergency broadcasts. As fear spreads through Northhaven, Trent realizes the skills that once made him a championship coach—leadership, preparation, sacrifice, and the ability to stay calm under pressure—may be the only things standing between his family and total collapse. Alongside his resilient wife Lisa, his brilliant but socially withdrawn son Heath, his gifted and mysterious daughter Alyssa, and a frightened town struggling to hold itself together, Trent must navigate a world where trust has died and survival demands impossible choices. Old neighbors become potential enemies. Faith is shaken. Communities fracture. And somewhere behind the chaos, darker forces are beginning to emerge, eager to reshape humanity from the ashes of the old world. Part political thriller, part family survival saga, and part slow-burn societal horror, Devolution: The Beginning of the End explores what happens when the foundations of civilization are stripped away and ordinary people are forced to confront the terrifying question: if the truth destroys the world, was humanity ever truly civilized to begin with?
