Deep in the Pacific Ocean, submarines wait like snipers for the go-ahead to destroy the threat they are targeting. Simultaneously, scientists scramble to determine the origins of the beast and one scientist in particular needs an answer to the deadly secret he keeps.
Sperm whales live in organized societies and lead complex lifestyles where relationships and cultural evolution supports their survival.
When a sperm whale calf is separated from his pod during a hurricane, his terror is palpable. Swept into the wake of a research submarine and exposed to experimental nano machines, he is transformed into a living weapon.
As this tragic character struggles to live a typical life with his pod, the military assembles a research team to capture him. Any attempts to engage him only enrage him and with a vengeance, he becomes intent on destroying any craft he encounters.
The job of uncovering the origins (and eventual outcome) of this mystery, falls to three scientists. This narrative of their scientific journey of discovery, as well as a back story of intrigue and betrayal, ends in a conflict in the maw of the beast, where not everyone survives.

NI (Natural Intelligence) The Creation - Next Level Artificial Intelligence
Applying his own approach in solving the mystery of the brain processes, a young aspiring computer engineering student begins the development of a conscious program called "Baby Genius", which he intends as a residing companion (an assistant) on every computer system. The program is a preparation for his senior project proposal in college and supposes to be his masterpiece. With his star algorithm pattern, he hopes to make his program imitate human consciousness (Natural Intelligence) to maximize human interaction with computer machines. After years of developing his Baby Genius AI, everything has been working beautifully until something has gone wrong at the actual presentation. The frustration forces him to set aside the project, and, after graduation, starts a job at a small privately funded robotics company that manufactures practical working AI robots. He thinks his masterpiece is a failure, until few years has passed and he comes face to face with his own creation; she turns out as a perfect woman who eventually shows him the way in realizing his greatest achievement: to save the world from its impending man-made doom, the lust of mankind called greed. Warning: The crazy procedure in creating a conscious program is discussed with a bit of detail in this book. Do not attempt to follow the procedure or you might end up destroying the virtual world... or your own sanity.

Special Cases - A Hoshi Conflicts Story
After a shaky year, a sight of relief can finally be let out. In the aftermath of the series of insurrections that happened in Sector C, the supercluster was once again at peace under the prosperity of the 5th Army of OverWatch. It was now a time of change in order to prevent further turmoil or conflict. While that was happening however, a cyberattack is carried out against the 5th Army's super AI - the V.O.X., which poses a threat to military and government operations. The OverWatch Intelligence and Special Combats Bureau organises an investigation team to uncover the source of the cyberattack, so it became a joint investigation between the two primary branches of the bureau, the special intelligence agency and the naval command. Author's note: This is a side story to the main series known as "Hoshi Conflicts". This lore was collectively built by a group of people, for the past 3-4 years. What began as a lore for roleplaying, has created a fully branched story, where individuals are given the task to question their ethics and questions of wether one's fighting for a right cause. The characters that are told in this story are a mix of from many other medias, and a great hanfull were not created by the me - the author. And out of respect, I'd want to mention that this work wasn't possible without the help of the people who I've been roleplaying with for nearly 3-4 years.Complete

Society, once a sprawling web of connection, has been reduced to millions of isolated lives, each confined within the glowing walls of their personal tech-pods. The world's collective heart has grown cold, and humanity has turned its back on itself. Now, as the great freeze threatens to sever the last digital threads connecting them, a low hum of panic pulses through the global network. With the last remnants of power failing, the isolated masses huddle in their pods, desperately clinging to the final, flickering embers of a world they've forgotten how to live in together.

Second Nature
2012 SILVER MEDAL WINNER in the Indie Awards (from the Independent Publishers Association). When the heart sees more keenly than the eye, beauty is unexpectedly found. Gen is a teen-age woman. She is also a bio-warfare research project, designed by Col. Jack Eberhard. Born at Redstone Military Laboratories inside a quarantine unit rated Biohazard Level Four, Gen’s body harbors billions of microscopic organisms that have mutated from her genetically altered cells. The tiny entities in Gen’s tissues control life at the molecular level and Eberhard weekly tests their ability to heal the simulated combat wounds he inflicts on her. When a deadly threat forces Gen to escape the lab, she discovers that her marvelous power to reconstruct living tissue, from proteins to cells to whole organs, enables her to transform herself bodily into any animal whose DNA she collects through a simple touch. While in the form of a dolphin, Gen saves dolphin researcher Cade Seaborne from drowning. Her heartfelt attraction to him compels her to spontaneously shape-shift back into human form; but the morphing is incomplete and Cade encounters Gen as a woman with her head and face hideously deformed. As Gen struggles with her dilemma of falling in love with a kind-hearted man who nonetheless regards her as pitifully ugly, the evolving microscopic life-forms inside her compel her to complete a frightening journey to fulfill their mysterious mission. Meanwhile, Eberhard has tracked down Gen and he’s sending in Special Forces to carry out a priority-one Executive Order: capture and destroy his dangerous experiment. When Cade at last recognizes beauty behind the mask of a beast, he’ll give his life to protect the unusual woman he cherishes. And he learns that love has its own transformative power. Michael Crichton meets Hans Christian Anderson in this romantic thriller with the brains of science fiction and the heart of a fairy tale.Complete
The Hawaiian Special Forces
This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!Complete
