AD 2049. From the ashes of the Third World War, a new society emerged. Lifeless tenements rise up from the ground, drenched in neon and toxic fog. Below, corporate soldiers and hired hitmen do battle in the streets for money and renown. Corporate greed and technological malfeasance rule the urban hell of post-apocalyptic England. Amidst the high tech and low life, a washed-up bounty hunter takes on an opportunity to get back into the game, only to get more than he bargained for. Blood, romance, chrome and conspiracy await Donovan "Reaper" Grimm in the chaos of the new world. The first part of what will hopefully be an expansive series of cyberpunk adventures.

Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete
The Last Tree
Nearly seventy years ago, the nukes landed on London and the German Reich achieved victory in The Second Weltkrieg. The United States, strangled by sectarian violence and ideological struggle, watched from afar as the fascist eagle rose over the old world. A cold war froze the trade lanes of the Atlantic and the threat of mutually assured destruction kept the two titans from clashing, but now the war has begun to thaw. The Fuhrer of the Germans has taken his own life, and his empire is consumed by slave revolts and the liberal ideas of the new generation. For the first time in nearly a century, the path to freedom is open for the remnants of old Europe. In America, all pretense of unity has been abandoned. The nation has split into numerous successor states and micro-countries, all claiming legitimacy, and with some having the teeth to back it. Millions of refugees flee Europe as the old world burns in the greatest civil war in all of human history, and in the south of what was once the United States, a lone mercenary by the name of Carter takes a job that will change the fate of his home, a megacity called the Nash, forever.
