2024 Saw the completion of my latest novel ONE, which is in active submissions to publishers. Here is a quick description:
In the late twenty second century, the great global government ONE is tyranny perfected; led by the ruthless Minister DeLuca there is only one rule – Obey or Die. Can young Gideon rekindle the embers of a dying resistance as mankind’s long day darkens into night?
In New York City – the heart of ONE, Gideon drives the resistance into open conflict. Against all-seeing bots, hovering drones, and Hunters on hoverbikes, the tools of the resistance are sabotage, propaganda, and assassinations and the city seethes with tension as betrayal and public execution become the order of the day. Then DeLuca, always searching for power, discovers and releases an ancient evil. Chaos and terror descend – the last battle approaches.
