In a world where money is nothing but ones and zeros, who really holds the power? FBI Agent Sarah Chen thought she'd seen it all in her years investigating financial crimes. But when a routine case of Bitcoin fraud explodes into a global conspiracy, she finds herself plunged into a digital underworld beyond her wildest imagination. Teaming up with Jack Roberts, a brilliant but unpredictable crypto expert with a shadowy past, Sarah races against time to unravel a plot that threatens not just the global economy, but the very fabric of reality itself. From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the hidden server farms of quantum computers, Sarah and Jack must navigate a treacherous landscape of digital deception, where fortunes can be made or lost with a single keystroke, and identities are as fluid as the blockchain itself. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a truth more staggering than they ever imagined: a secret society of crypto-anarchists has created a parallel digital universe - the crypto-verse - where the laws of physics and economics are infinitely malleable. With the line between the physical and digital worlds blurring, Sarah must confront not only the enigmatic figure behind it all but also her own role in shaping this new reality. "The Crypto Conspiracy" is a mind-bending techno-thriller that will make you question everything you thought you knew about money, power, and the nature of reality itself.

"A smile will get you far, but a smile and a gun will get you farther" -Al Capone. Federal Agent Alex Turner deals better with guns than boyfriends, and prefers it that way. Her emotional range is bleak, but her aim is damn near perfect. Thinking saving the world is a far easier task than dating, Agent Turner springs at the opportunity to prevent young scientist Marcus Gibbs from selling his biological weapon to the highest bidder. With her goal in sight, and Marcus eating out of the palm of her hand, an obstacle she doesn't see coming interferes. Meet Jeremy Hunt -- the distractingly handsome CEO of Sunscape Biotechnologies, and Marcus's boss and best friend. A man who is accustomed to getting what he wants, Jeremy's never been one to take no for an answer, which has Agent Turner realizing for the first time that her wit might get her farther than her weapon. With no protocol or training to reference when it comes to matters of the heart, she worries that this might be her hardest assignment yet. ------------------------------------------ MESSAGE TO READERS: This book has been reduced to a preview in preparation for its publication!

20 parts Complete
In a world where secrets are the deadliest weapons, one man's quest for justice will ignite a global firestorm. Former elite RAW agent, known only as Tiger, was a ghost-a man who lived and fought in the shadows. But when his family is brutally murdered, he breaks cover with an ultimatum that shakes the very foundations of international intelligence: find the killer in 24 hours, or agents from India's RAW and Pakistan's ISI will start dropping dead, one by one. As the clock ticks down, the intelligence communities of India and Pakistan are thrown into chaos. Leading the charge is Arjun Sharma, head of RAW, and his team, including the brilliant young analyst Zoya Khan. Together, they unravel a conspiracy that runs deeper than anyone could have imagined, a web of deceit that threatens to plunge two nuclear-armed nations into war. But Tiger is always one step ahead, playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse that takes him from the streets of London to the holy city of Mecca. Along the way, alliances are tested, loyalties are shattered, and the line between hero and villain blurs. Pathan, a legendary spy with a history intertwined with Tiger's, is tasked with bringing him in-alive. But as the truth behind Tiger's vendetta comes to light, Pathan begins to question who the real enemy is. With the fate of millions hanging in the balance, Pathan and Tiger must confront their shared past and the ultimate question: can one man change the course of history? "The Rogue Agent" is a high-octane thriller filled with heart-pounding action, intricate conspiracies, and morally complex characters. It's a story of redemption and sacrifice, where the line between right and wrong is as blurred as the shadows Tiger hides in. As Tiger's legacy unfolds, one thing becomes clear: in a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal is currency, the only rule is survival. Will you join the chase?

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. 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.
