"You have been sentenced to life in prison. Your ship will leave tomorrow for the island. Gather your things." When you've been decided a criminal, you're a criminal. There are no ifs, ands, or buts; whether you did the crime or not. Courts and juries are no longer used. If the authorities think you've done it, there's nothing anyone can do about your impending sentence. Being sent to the island is devastating, no matter how long you have to be there. No contact with the outside world, no way to reach your loved ones. It might be set up to appear more humane, more free than prisons of the past, but looks can be deceiving. On the way to the island, the huge prison ship begins to sink. There's no reason for it. Not from a storm, not from an iceberg. The ship just goes down. It's up to the remaining eleven survivors to discover why, and make sure they stay alive while doing so. * * * * * * * * * * Accomplishments: Featured! #37 in Sci-fi #1 in #BreakStereotypes * * * * * * * * * * * The gorgeous (and royalty free!) cover for this book was made by @CosmicGraphics Book started during #NaNoWriMo2016 and will be finished in 2017 Note: This book is published on WATTPAD ONLY!

As a Porter, Bishop's primary job profile is decrypting synergists used in the development of Matrix for the brain. A support mechanism which allows the brain to thrive in a new world the human race find themselves, one which has suffered major depletion as a result of man's zest for development, hence, the exodus to Phase I--formerly called the moon. But not everyone left for Phase I. Somewhere in the highly unstable and reactive Sector 16 of Bathfog Ruins back at Phase II is the Eureka Elgium synergist, a key factor to the revolutionary Afterlife Matrix. Bishop's next job. Joined by a team of the finest squad in Phase II, Bishop sets out for Bathfog Ruins, but when their airship crash-land in the ruins, everything changes. Certain truths are unraveled about the government's scheme, their lives are threatened by unusual beings and Mecha hit men. And when the biggest fact of all is revealed, Bishop realizes he's more valuable than he knows and his real job is staying alive. *Current cover by @AAKhan

❝ Someone told us, ❞ Judith began, her eyes twinkling, ❝ That you, Max, aren't a king. ❞ ❝ You're right, ❞ Max answered, emotionless, his eyes trained on Carol for sudden movements. ❝ I was never a king. ❞ With those last words, all the wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws and Max stood stoic, gripping his staff in his hand like a weapon. He pointed it towards Carol first, and clenched his jaw stiffly. This is it, he thought, this is it. And they charged. - - - lovely cover by @SurroundedByThorns
