[season 1] In the near-future, mankind succeeds in curing A.I.D.S. However, something much worse fills the void, an aggressive sickness that only affects females. Though only 50% of Earth's population is at risk of contracting M.A.I.D.S., the illness impacts everyone. World War III begins as panic-stricken governments seize healthy females in order to ensure the survival of their people, but even warfare and forced breeding programs can't halt the inevitable: mankind is dying out. An international team of scientists combine existing technologies, theories, and desperation to create Synthia, a synthetic human female capable of M.A.I.D.S.-free existence and, most importantly, reproduction. Biomechanical humans, dubbed Synthias, are mass-produced, and mankind's population begins to slowly increase after being decimated by the illness and war. The cost of salvation is souls. Synthias are denied basic human rights because they are manufactured, not born. After staging an unsuccessful uprising, the facilities where Synthias are mass-produced undergo great changes. Synthia manufactories are re-opened as boutiques where a man's mate can be custom-ordered, right down to the various skills and knowledge the Synthia possesses. A truly male-oriented world emerges around this new technology. Adam, the first son of a Synthia, wants something more than a mere breeding machine. He wants a true partner and something like the "love" he only knows about from pre-war media. The Synthia he creates is something new that threatens to destroy the status quo... Adam's Synthia is not an it. Adam's Synthia is a she. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.A.I.D.S. is the winner of two Watty Awards (2011).

[Battle Aegis: Survival is the first in a four part series that questions the creation, strength and the value of the human life. The tale follows the semi-average lives of Eugene Scott, Walsh Lansing, and Justin Dumas as they attempt to end a catastrophic generational curse that threatens all of humanity. While trying to survive, those chosen must uncover a secret that has been hidden since the first steps of human-kind. The closer Eugene comes to the truth, the more anti-heroic he seems, as the effects of the truth weigh heavily on his soul. He must find a way to escape his growing animosity, and lead the Chosen, before revenge consumes him entirely. Choices have to be made as the end of the world swiftly approaches. One thing is clear…Survival, at all cost.]
