The Last 0-Day
The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.

Angels Defend Us
Shepard's Watch Series: Book One A raging inferno at the Kremlin Armory, an Orthodox priest found murdered in his own church, and a series of mysterious bombings in Eastern Europe brings the American intelligence community to a sobering realization: someone is trying to start a war. As tensions in the region escalate, Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) assembles a task force and gives one its most decorated Special Forces officers, Maj. Jay Shepard, a simple mission: find the parties behind this madness and do whatever it takes to stop them. It all starts wrong, and as the CIA, the newly formed Defense Clandestine Service, and the FBI all activate assets in support, a host of foreign intelligence services and the ever-present rivalries inside the U.S. government services threaten to derail the mission before it ever leaves the station. As Shepard's handlers hoped he would, he takes his operation off grid, reaching out to a reclusive billionaire with some very dark family secrets and a private army that's been implicated in dozens of black market arms deals. The more the Task Force succeeds, the more awkward the revelations become for the federal agencies pulled into the public scandals and congressional hearings back home. Worse, Shepard's team uncovers disturbing evidence related to an intelligence leak threatening national security networks. When his Task Force is recalled in order to be disbanded, Shepard is forced to choose between his chain of command and the oath he took to protect his country. He's been a tactical savant most of his life, confounding and frustrating even the most brilliant war planners with his ability to defy the odds: now he's been sanctioned as an enemy of the state. Betrayed by the people he served and hunted by the men he trained, Shepard now has to decide exactly how far he'll go and who he'll cross in order to complete his mission.

Echoes of the Phantom
Katya "Fantóm" Makarov was born in the shadow of war - sister to Vladimir Makarov, raised to be his deadliest weapon. A phantom in the dark, her name haunted battlefields, whispered among soldiers who prayed they'd never see her face. Bound by blood and debt, Katya followed orders without question - until one contract put her on a collision course with Task Force 141 and the KORTAC teams. Captured. Cornered. Caged. But captivity brings clarity. Haunted by the lives she's taken and the legacy her brother drags behind him, Katya is offered a choice: rot in her cell, or help destroy the monster that made her. She chooses to fight - but loyalty is a battlefield of its own, and the lines blur further when she crosses paths with Colonel König of KORTAC. A soldier veiled in his own darkness, König sees beyond her mask - to the woman trapped beneath the blood and shadows. As alliances shift and war draws closer, Katya must navigate treacherous ground between family, enemies, and the one man who might just make her believe she's more than the phantom her brother forged. Because ghosts run from nothing. But phantoms? They finally decide what - and who - is worth haunting.

The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.Complete
