P.S. - This is my first novel. I would not only appreciate, but encourage any feedback telling me how to make it better/less bad.

Fault Lines
Some cities collapse from earthquakes. Others from the quiet decay of truth. When a coordinated string of attacks shatters Philadelphia: a bus hijacking, a plane emergency, a string of unexplained disappearances, the city's façade of order crumbles overnight. Dr. Anthony Sloan, an ambitious surgeon at University Hospital, becomes an unlikely first responder, pulled into a web of survivors whose wounds don't add up. Detective Donnie Caldwell works cleanup for Arrow, a shadow program posing as public service, while his brother Drew wakes in a hospital with missing memories and a bottle marked Maintenance Dose 12E. And Maria Santos, a captive nurse on the outskirts of Hallowgate, discovers the truth behind her pregnancy: twin sons engineered for the same secret that's consuming the city. As chaos spreads, from the blood-soaked tarmac to the sterile corridors of medicine, these strangers edge closer to the same revelation: The violence here isn't random. It's research. In a world where biology and belief are weapons, Fault Lines cuts beneath the skin of progress itself; unearthing how far a system will go to perfect the human race... and how easily it can break the ones still trying to save it.

The Undoing Of Heroes | ✓
Heroes. Ever since they showed up, people have gone soft. They're adored, worshipped. Devotion is showered upon them like rain. It's about time someone knocks them off that pedestal they stand on, someone to crush their pillars of faith. Someone like me. A villain. It's perfect. I'll be the undoing of heroes. ≠ disclaimer: very much needs to be edited, very much needs to be less corny and very much needs to be entirely rewritten by me. if you approach it as a goofy, corny, old 2015-esque superhero book then it'll be a great time. i'll be honest and say there are no pulitzers here. completed ✓ highest rank in sf: #9 cover: @narwhellyComplete
