Review
"There is a deeper story, a deeper meaning behind his writing...you can feel its malice and foreshadowing, recognize its twisted brilliance." 5/5 --Bitten By Books
"The story reads much like a 200-page climax--[the] writing is always on the move, always frantic, surging forward...without pause, all while maintaining an intricate weave of narrative threads with deceptive ease." --Oxyfication (Jason Kane)
"This is a very dark, cynical, and intelligent novel. The way it's told only adds to both the tension and the mystery. A brilliant tale of a haunting dystopia" --Morpheus Tales (Stanley Riiks)
"In the true noir convention, there is blood, sex, and despair brimming through this novel, but at the same time, he subverts what we've come to expect, showing more of the neo than the noir" --Spinetingler (Chris Deal)
"[A] seamless melding of multiple genres while still retaining a literary voice, meaning it's a very well-written novel while still having the constant clicking of impending doom in the background." --Rotten Leaves (Nik Korpon)

Product Description
“They say Jimmy made it out. But the postcards we get, well, they don’t seem...real."
When an experiment with population control works too well, and the planet is decimated, seven broken people are united by a supernatural bond in a modern day Eden. Most on the island are fully aware of this prison disguised as an oasis. Unfortunately, Jimmy is on the mainland, desperate to get back, in a post-apocalyptic stand-off, fighting for his survival and that of his unborn child. Back on the island, Jacob stares at the ocean through his telescope and plots his escape, reluctant to aid the cause. Marcy tries to hide from her past sexual escapades that may be her saving grace. X sits in his compound, a quiet, massive presence, trapped in his body by ancient whispers and yet free in spirit to visit other places and times. Roland, the angry, bitter son of Marcy is determined to leave, and sets out on his own. Watching over it all is Assigned, the ghost in the machine. And coming for them, to exact revenge, and finish the job that the virus started, is Gordon. He just landed on the island and he has help.

Vivid settings, lyrical language, and a slow reveal of plot, motivation, past crimes and future hope collide in a showdown that keeps you guessing until the final haunting words.
