A stranger in his own body...

An intruder in his own mind...

Okan had no idea he was living the last ordinary day of his life. When he opened his eyes, he was no longer in his own bed but a captive on Aetherion-a distant world beyond the stars.

How he got there was a void; what awaited him, a mystery.

Soon he understood: the brutal warriors around him were not the true threat. The real enemy crouched in the darkest corner of his mind-an alien consciousness that whispered to him, a shadow intent on claiming his body.

The struggle to survive quickly turned into a harsher truth: he was not a fugitive, but a test subject.

The trial he faces is no mere endurance test-it is a fracture of destiny. And the plans laid for him were set long ago.

GATE is a dark tale that melds body-horror possession and military science fiction with an intimate character drama.

It is a journey from the deepest recesses of the subconscious to the ruthless reality of an alien star system-a transformation story written at the crossroads of biology and technology, will and fate, and the clash of two foreign powers housed within a single human being.

This war won't be visible from the outside.

Because the greatest variable is hidden within.

Hood of Bone

3 parts Complete

'Hood of Bone' is the story of Senan Flintlock, a brilliant young soldier who is sent into a virtual world by the corporation he works for. Twenty years from now, Senan graduates from a brutal privatised military academy. After a terrible injury, he is given a stark choice by his employer: allow his skills to be copied into a gaming environment that they police, or face unemployment and a huge medical bill. Senan accepts, but the duplicitous Frecor betrays him by placing him in an artificial coma in a secret laboratory and changing his online identity. As a detective in the hyper-realistic 'Junction City', Senan searches for crime within for the benefit of Frecor, without even knowing it's all an illusion. When Senan discovers his true identity, and realizes that he is trapped, he must try to escape with the help of a small band of loyal friends. Note: Hood of Bone is complete at 78,000 words, but not all posted here. With the help of beta-readers, I am working to improve the manuscript. I have placed the complete manuscript into google docs ( address below). As it gets polished in this process, I am placing more chapters here.
