The Akashic Telescope: Order From Chaos (Akashic Eye Series of Books: Trilogy Book 1)
Amazon CA
Amazon UK

Eternal vigilance starts with being forewarned. 

This fascinating story is based on the following premise: If powerful global secret societies exist and a New World Order with a One World Government is their ultimate aim, what events would be necessary to bring about such a result? 

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." 
David Rockefeller's address to the United Nations. 

The Akashic Telescope: Order from Chaos is the compelling story of the world’s ultimate secret society: the Illuminati. Their sole purpose and agenda is the manufacturing of geopolitical events that will inevitably lead to an oppressive One World Government. 

All their power is based on an exclusive powerful secret: They know the truth. 

The All Seeing Eye of God is very real. The idea that the world's most powerful secret societies venerate the Eye as merely a compelling symbol of intrigue is completely false – a ruse designed to mislead. An all-knowing and all-seeing device called the Akashic Telescope does in fact exist. The Aktel, as it is secretly known, contains incredible power over our lives and the world itself; knowing all the answers to every possible question as well as explaining all paranormal events on earth. Those who seek to control it will achieve their millennia-old quest of One World Government. 

The Akashic Records, or the Biblical Book of Life, is the complete living record of all human existence. According to legend, this special life ledger was created for a purpose and will be opened on the Apocalyptic Day of Judgment; to assess the value of our earthly existence. How is this information received? Who can gain access and who controls it? 

Josh Mundi is a young man and the sole recipient of ancient esoteric knowledge. He holds the key to the discovery and control of our life's most sacred meaning of who we are and why we are here (or alternatively, the most oppressive tool of social control and hyper surveillance ever devised). 

Josh will come to learn that what the elite rulers of our world are striving for is far from the utopian ideal, but rather a well-organized singular desire to fulfill the ancient aims of world rule – for the nefarious embodiment of evil itself. 

The Illuminati, led by the global Wall Street Firm: Sack-Pillage, Lustre & Lucre, will do their utmost to gain control of this Godlike power, and Josh will do whatever it takes to stop them. 

The Akashic Telescope series of books encompasses many genres, ranging from apocalyptic, time-travel, political and historical conspiracy theories to a science fiction thriller. The story draws upon real historical events, secret societies, quantum physics, and elite global political maneuvering, to provide a plausible story of realizing the Illuminati's insatiable desire for total world domination.

Zombie Fallout

Late Fall - 2010

Reuters - Estimates say that nearly three thousand people nationwide, and fifteen thousand people worldwide have died of the H1N1 virus or Swine flu and nearly eighty thousand cases have been confirmed in hospitals and clinics across the United States and the world, the World Heath Organization reported. The influenza pandemic of 2010, while not nearly as prolific as the one that raged in 1918 still has citizens around the world in a near state of panic.

New York Post (Headlines October 31st) - Beware! Children Carry Germs! - Halloween Canceled!

New York Times - (Headlines November 3rd) - Swine flu claims latest victim - Vice President surrounded by family and friends at the end.

Boston Globe - (Headlines November 28th) - Swine Flu Vaccinations Coming!

Boston Herald - (Headlines December 6th) - Shots in Short Supply - Lines Long!

National Enquirer - (Headlines December 7th) - The Dead Walk!

There would be no more headlines.

It started in a lab at the CDC (Center for Disease Control), virologists were so relieved to finally have an effective vaccination against the virulent swine flu. Pressure to come up with something had come from the highest office in the land. In an attempt at speed the virologists had made two mistakes, first they used a live virus and second they didn't properly test for side effects. Within days hundreds of thousands of vaccinations shipped across the US and the world. People lined up for the shots, like they were waiting in line for concert tickets. Fights broke out in drugstores as fearful throngs tried their best to get one of the limited shots. Within days the CDC knew something was wrong. Between 4 and 7 hours of receiving the shot roughly 95% succumbed to the active H1N1 virus in the vaccination. More unfortunate than the death of the infected was the added side effect of reanimation, it would be a decade before scientists were able to ascertain how that happened. The panic that followed couldn't be measured. Loved ones did what loved ones always do, they tried to comfort, their kids or their spouses or their siblings, but what came back was not human not even remotely. Those people that survived their first encounter with these monstrosities usually did not come through unscathed, if bitten they had fewer than 6 hours of humanity left, the clock was ticking. During the first few hysteria ridden days of The Coming as it has become known, many thought the virus was airborne, luckily that was not the case or nobody would have survived. It was a dark time in human history. One from which we may never be able to pull ourselves out of the ashes from.

But there are those out to ensure humanity is wiped from the planet entirely, led by a tattooed red man that will stop at nothing.

Three hundred years living a life that was never meant to be means that Marcus' grip on reality is becoming severely warped. When fifteen year old Letje finally gets her invitation she finds herself completely out of her depth.

Today, thanks to a farewell ritual gone awry, Lela is standing in paradise, looking upon a vast gated city in the distance – hell. No one willingly walks through the Suicide Gates, into a place smothered in darkness and infested with depraved creatures. But Lela isn’t just anyone – she’s determined to save her best friend’s soul, even if it means sacrificing her eternal afterlife.
As Lela struggles to find Nadia, she’s captured by the Guards, enormous, not-quite-human creatures that patrol the dark city’s endless streets. Their all-too human leader, Malachi, is unlike them in every way except one: his deadly efficiency. When he meets Lela, Malachi forms his own plan: get her out of the city, even if it means she must leave Nadia behind. Malachi knows something Lela doesn’t – the dark city isn’t the worst place Lela could end up, and he will stop at nothing to keep her from that fate.





From Joshua Dalzelle, author of the bestselling "Omega Force” series, comes an all new vision of humanity's future.

In the 25th century humans have conquered space. The advent of faster-than-light travel has opened up hundreds of habitable planets for colonization, and humans have exploited the virtually limitless space and resources for hundreds of years with impunity.

So complacent have they become with the overabundance that armed conflict is a thing of the past, and their machines of war are obsolete and decrepit. What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy? Would humanity fold and surrender, or would they return to their evolutionary roots and meet force with force? One ship—and one captain—will soon be faced with this very choice.

Against incredible odds, Jackson Wolfe is determined to save humanity–and in the process, might end up saving himself.

The Talbots have escaped Little Turtle but to what end, on the run they find themselves encountering a far vaster evil than the one that has already beset them. As they travel across the war torn countryside they soon learn that there are more than just zombies to be fearful of, with law and order a distant memory some humans have decided to take any and all matters into their own hands. Can the Talbots come through unscathed or will they suffer the fate of so many countless millions before them. It's not just the brains versus the brain-eaters anymore. The stakes may be higher than merely life and death with eternal souls on the line.

Omega Rising
(Original Publication Date: January 27, 2013. 2nd Edition June, 2014.)

Jason Burke was a man hiding from himself in a small cabin high in the American Rocky Mountains when his simple, quiet life was shattered one night by what he first assumed was an aviation mishap. But when he investigates the crash, what he finds will yank him out of his self-imposed exile and thrust him into a world he could have never imagined.

He suddenly finds himself trapped on a damaged alien spacecraft and plunged into a universe of interstellar crime lords and government conspiracies, along the way meeting strange new friends... and enemies. As he struggles to find his way back home he is inexorably drawn deeper into a world where one misstep could mean his death. Or worse. He desperately wants to get back to Earth, but it may be the end for him.

... or is it just the beginning?

Omega Force: Soldiers of Fortune
(Publication Date: May 5, 2013.)

Omega Force is back!

After the daring rescue of a political dissident, Omega Force is contracted to investigate a rash of violent attacks on civilian shipping lanes within a group of star systems known as the Concordian Cluster. It seems a simple enough job with a huge payday at the end and it's exactly what the ragtag group of mercenaries needs in order to keep their ship flying and to stay one step ahead of those hunting them.

However, the further they delve into the seedy underworld of the Cluster the more they realize they may be in over their heads. With innocent lives hanging in the balance, Captain Burke and his crew begin a desperate race to uncover who is responsible for these attacks, and why, before their ultimate goal can be realized.

Omega Force: Savage Homecoming
(Publication Date: September 20, 2013. Edited by Monique Happy Lewis.)

Ever since he joined Omega Force, Captain Jason Burke has lived with the underlying fear that one day Earth would be discovered. His desire to keep Earth's existence and location a secret has driven him to extremes, and kept him far away from his homeworld for a long time.

But now Jason's greatest fear is realized, and a fleet of alien ships has attacked his planet.

Omega Force rushes to Earth's defense, but the ships are like none they've ever encountered, and employ weapons they have no defense for. Will their lone gunship be able to slug it out with the unknown fleet holding the planet hostage? Or will this be a one-way trip for the crew of the Phoenix?





“I wish I could tell you how cool this is.” 

With those words uttered by his best friend during an online chat, Austin Stone, a high school senior, forces himself to accept the fact his friends are leaving him behind. 

With average grades, less than stellar play in baseball, and a single mother struggling to make ends meet, it looks as if Austin’s only way to continue his education would be through some kind of miracle. 

His only escape is playing an online space simulation, Star Runners. It seems to be the only environment in which he excels. However, being a champion Trident Starfighter isn’t something you want to brag about in public nor will it help earn a scholarship. 

But as soon as Austin is about to give up on college he reaches the top of the elite server. He receives an invitation from a school shrouded in secrecy promising to unlock his hidden potential. With no other options, Austin takes the offer. 

What Austin doesn’t realize is that his dream of going to college has just opened up the cosmos and will challenge everything Austin thinks he knows about himself and the universe.





Book 8 in the best-selling Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse series, picks up where Warpath, Book 7 ends. 
Cade Grayson, father, husband, and former Delta Force operator collected his fair share of ghosts as the Omega virus ravaged the United States, turning the majority of her population into mindless automatons hungering for human flesh. 
Wearing incredulous stares, the faces of those ghosts—dozens of men, women, and children he was unable to save during his many forays into the Z-infested wasteland—visit him nightly during the early morning hours when defenses are dulled and REM sleep has him in its firm grip. 
For others who lost contact with loved ones during the frantic first hours and days of the Omega outbreak, their ghosts manifest in the nagging possibility that a wife or child or mother or sibling may still be alive out there, somewhere, struggling to survive amongst the multitudes of walking corpses and roving bands of murderous breathers. 
So as the Eden survivors prepare their rural Utah compound for the coming fall and winter they find that the herds of dead patrolling the nearby State Route aren’t their only enemy. 
Idle time seems to be giving power to their ghosts. And with each perceived whiff of familiar perfume, or flash in the side vision of a familiar form that proves to be nonexistent, the lure of wanting to know their fate begins to affect some of the group adversely. 
Even after attaining a modicum of closure in the high country of central Idaho, Duncan Winters continues to seek solace for his loss at the bottom of a whiskey bottle. 
And still struggling with the post-traumatic stress from being held concubine in Robert Christian’s mansion in Jackson Hole, Daymon’s girlfriend Heidi hides from her ghosts below ground, spending nearly every waking moment tethered to the HAM radio by a pair of headphones, scouring the airwaves for other survivors. 
Meanwhile, still healing from the wounds suffered in Idaho, former BLM firefighter Daymon Bush ponders what ultimately became of his mom. Face-to-face with thousands of dead and ultimately forced to turn back short of her home in the suburbs south of Salt Lake City, Daymon can’t shrug off the baggage of the thwarted rescue attempt. 
Similarly affected, former Jackson Hole Chief of Police Charlie Jenkins trudges through the day-to-day machinations necessary for survival, hollow of heart, all the while wrestling with the idea of venturing to Salt Lake City in search of his missing adult-aged daughter. 
As winter looms and hordes of living dead continue migrating about the countryside, will the group finish their preparations and reconcile with their ghosts before venturing topside becomes the exception to the norm? 
Can Daymon juggle Heidi’s internal problems and his own desire to know what happened to his mom, all while continuing to pull his weight for the greater good of the Eden Compound?

In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platform that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. 

In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event.
