Uprising (The fall of Haven)

**This book, formerly titled Haven, has received new cover-art and titling to prepare for the release of it's sequel. The two books together are now known as The Fall of Haven, books one and two called Uprising and Exodus, respectively. More editing has been done to alleviate complaints.**

Before Proposition 172, being a Citizen was a way to separate one’s self from the rest of society. After Proposition 172, the rest of the world truly was separate from you. It was such a simple answer, really. How could one keep every undesirable part of society away from the parts that deserved better? Move it.

In the city of Haven, the dreams of the Citizens have been realized in the Separation project. No longer will people of good stature and breeding be required to interact with the working class, the filthy and disease-ridden rejects that fill the streets. No longer will real people have to suffer junkies, criminals, and thieves. Instead, a cleaner and purer world has been crafted to suit your every need. The best part? Well, all those undesirables had to be worth something, after all. Why not just use them? Give them a short re-education and make them docile workers.

This is the world that a young woman named Kaylee lives in. One where Citizens, the aristocratic elite, capture and enslave ordinary people to suit their needs. This is the Haven of constant fear, where any moment you might be brutally beaten by a gang, stolen by a squad of Citizen “recruiters,” or you might simply starve to death. It is a world of darkness, hidden far below the bright and shining city where the Citizens and their ilk live in splendor. It is a world without hope.

Yet in these dark slums beneath the city of Haven, things are being set in motion. Plans are being carried out, forces are being gathered. The powerful and reclusive slumlord, Elijah, starts a chain of events which will swallow everyone in the city - Citizen and undesirable alike.




Diary of the Displaced - Omnibus 1 Parts 1-4 "The Journal of James Halldon"

Omnibus edition of parts 1-4 (the original book 1)
"The Journal of James Halldon".

There is a place where nightmares are real. It is a dark and terrifying place, hidden from the world we know by borders that

only the most unfortunate of souls will ever cross.

James Halldon woke up in the dark, alone, without any food or water, without a clue where he was, and with no memory of

where he came from.

It only got stranger.

James has somehow found his way to The Corridor, a midnight place that no human should ever see and the prison of a creature

that has destroyed entire worlds. Somehow James has to learn to survive.

But he is not alone. The lost souls of others who have drifted into The Corridor, and died, also haunt this world, and they

have been waiting a long time for someone to come along.

The Journal of James Halldon is a dark sci-fi novel that follows Halldon's struggle to survive whilst trying to understand

the strange, dark, and terrifying world in which he is trapped.

If it's dark when you wake up, and you can hear growling, then close your eyes and maybe it will go away.

But maybe it won't...

Dr.Harry Stevenson and his sidekick Wanda, a human-like hologram who wants to escape cyberspace, lead a new effort to recreate the technology that folds and bends space, opening the door for mankind to explore the galaxy.
Terrorist moles iniltrate the project, devise an ingenious plan to steal the wormhole technology, and convert it to a black hole weapon of mass destruction. Deadly computer viruses delay the project and buy time for the terrorists to steal and adapt the technology-subversive acts that cause an already highly unstable and risky technology to become more dangerous and unpredictable.
Researchers die fighting viruses as they endevor to implement the complex techology. In its stable mode the wormhole is docile, but as Harry and his team soon realize, it can quickly morph into a monster.
Convinced they have eliminated the threats, Harry and his team venture throught the wormhole on deep space missions. The first trip to Aplha Centauri is plagued with acts of sabotage that kills crewmembers attempting to launch a deep space telescope. Harry barely escapes with his life then goes EVA, without assistance or backup, to save a teammate hopelessly adrift in space. A rescue attempt that backfires.
On the final mission, a sleeper virus routes the starship to an uncharted part of the galaxy, erases all flight history, and shuts down the wormhole. Stranded above an alien world, Harry makes an amazing discovery: a rare and extremely valuable mineral needed to fuel the Earth's power grid. To investigate the find, he leads an excursion to the surface.They encounter bloodthirsty predators and meat eating plants that consider the away team a part of the food chain. An intense struggle to survive ensues, and only a few return to the ship. The team must somehow find out where they are in the galaxy, communicate with Earth, and reestablish the wormhole, or spend the rest of their lives, however short, on a hostile and alien world.
Completing their plan to steal the technology and create an indefensible weapon of mass destruction, the terrorists unleash the monster and wage a campaign of fear and devistation. The world's population cringes in absolute terror as the black hole ravages the earth. Emboldened by success, they give the United States three days to surrender or face total annihilation. Harry and his team become the nations only hope to defeat the merciless beast and save America.

Vacation on Earth

The Earthians were horribly split up internally. But Kcid took a man's delight in inhabiting them.

Short Story


Excerpt

The body of a man lay on the bed. He appeared to be sleeping, although an experienced finger would have found almost no pulse, and a practiced ear would have detected only the feeblest breathing. Life in the body of the prone figure was at a low ebb.

Slowly, seemingly out of the very head itself, a haze began to ooze — a gray, filmy, foggy vapor which grew thicker and thicker, spreading out until the man's face was totally obscured.

The haze assumed shape and even a kind of substance, and when it had formed into a long, oval mass, it began to float across the room.

It settled down in the seat of a large upholstered chair, almost as if it were trying, humanlike, to make itself comfortable.

After a moment the mass of gray vapor began to glow, first with a dull orange tint gradually brightening to red, then into purple and finally into a luminous green. Tiny points of light began to flash inside it, and then one sudden, stabbing beam leaped out of the glowing hazy stuff. It passed swiftly up through the ceiling and beyond into the sky, and continued out into the great empty reaches of space…




At the End of the World

Archaeologist Arthur Dawkins discovers the tomb of a god from the Mayan creation stories when he responds to a plea for help from the KulWinik Mayans.

When access to the tomb is lost after Mexican authorities interfere, Arthur and his team race against time to forestall a seemingly predetermined fate.

Michelle, Arthur's assistant and ex-partner in a relationship terminated ten years ago by Yax K'in, is shocked to discover there is a grain of scientifically plausible truth in the beliefs of the ancient Mayans.

The ancient stories of the creator god that lived among the Mayans could be partly true. Enough to cause the end of the world...

This is the first instalment in the At the End of the World series of books. However, it is self-contained and can be enjoyed on its own.

The next two books in the series are available.

Continue the series with the story of the god Hachakyum when he lived among the ancient Mayans and created the world because of, and for, a remarkable human woman. Book Two: The First Genesis.
