This is the story of William Roth, an ordinary man who who was the first person to be wrongly accused of a crime since the use of nanobots to fight crime.

SIN
"I've stitched up bodies, broken hearts, and shattered souls. But how do I fix a life when I've become the mess I'm trying to escape?" -Sin One moment, I was a 63-year-old doctor, the next-a 14-year-old freak, trapped in a body that isn't mine. A mistake. An anomaly. A secret worth killing for. The people in power want to own me, dissect me, erase me before anyone else discovers what I am. But I don't give a damn about their wars, their politics, or their rules. I only care about one thing-bringing my husband back before the body farm drains the last flicker of his mind.
Tide of Traitors

The World Of Steam
London, 2068. This is my personal account of the events that had happened. A crisis had taken over the entire world. Gas. Steam. It was the industrial revolution all over again. War machines were powered by gas furnaces. Cars ran on coal. It was choking us. Slowly killing us. I could not breathe, the only thing that my tongue could taste was charcoal and ammonia. I realised that I had to do something about the situation that I was in, lest I die a slow and horrible death. No. It wasn't just me. 18 million lives were at stake. Time was against me. But then again...when was time ever my friend?Complete
The Summons
In the future, the government seems to have little to do with how criminals are judged and penalized-that's all done by the citizens instead. The police still investigate crimes and punish, after a short and on-the-spot trial, all criminals found guilty of any crimes lower than murder. Dozens of walking, dehumanized and lobotomized criminals stand as perfect examples to the citizenry against committing any crime. For the capital crime of murder, an Accuser must formally bring the charge against the one party they believe to be responsible. At random, a citizen must then fill his or her civic duty and judge the Accused, carrying out the punishment-an execution in the same manner of death that the victim suffered-by the end of the trial. There is no room for wrong judgement and, as history shows, once someone is Accused, execution is the kindest and most just answer. Raised to be a pacifist, the newest Judge cannot fathom the course of action he must take against a so-called criminal who seems to be the only person ever wrongfully Accused. Will the Judge make the right choice or make what everyone before him has said is the correct choice? Mature due to language and some scenes of violence.Complete

Even if the nanotech he pioneered might solve every problem facing the earth, he still needs to die for what he did. I don't care that I'll get experimented on like a lab rat, that I'll have to join his cult-like Butler Institute and pretend to be his loyal follower like my hundred brothers and sisters, or that his tech makes him nearly invincible. I'll pay whatever it costs, even my own mind, to get the power I need to take my revenge. I owe Mom that much.Complete
A World's Bounty
