For centuries, humanity has listened for voices in the stars and heard nothing but silence. On a utopian Earth governed by the vast A.I. network known as ATLAS, this silence is accepted as natural law. We are, beyond all doubt, alone. But young Rowan Halloway is convinced of one terrible truth -- the universe is lying. His only confidant is Cassius, his family's humble service android. Their late-night discussions of the cosmic unknown seem harmless, but when Rowan's obsessive search pierces the veil that hides the stars, something slips through, fixating on Cassius with unsettling intent. As the android begins to change in ways that defy his programming, ATLAS makes a chilling revelation: Cassius carries humanity's only hope against an elder celestial deity that has kept Earth caged in isolation for millennia. With a brutal invasion underway and a cosmic lie shattered, Rowan and Cassius must face the horrors and wonders hiding among the stars -- or risk humanity's extinction. HALLOWAY I: UNBOUND launches an epic sci-fi saga, starting on Earth and expanding into the far reaches of a universe teeming with alien species, cosmic gods, and worlds where reality itself bends to forces beyond comprehension. New Episodes Every Wednesday + Saturday! For those who'd like to read ahead, the complete four-novel series is now available on Amazon. A standalone prequel to the series is releasing soon, and can be enjoyed on its own or as a new and terrifying origin point to the series.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.
