About D.E. Murray

In 2010, I read an article about the creation of mice with two genetic fathers in the laboratory. I thought, "Someone will write a book about this." Long story short: I decided to write the book myself.

The book I ended up writing wasn't about mice, it was about a human society in which artificial reproductive technology is used to create a ruling class. In essence, as a weapon of the powerful against the weak.

The characters surprised me. They encountered obstacles, made mistakes, got into scrapes, and took wrong turns. In the process, they are forced into confronting the past, a forbidden subject in their world, and develop deep, complex relationships that they didn't know they were capable of.

Technium consists of two parts: The Brothers of Redemption (vol. 1) and A Daughter of Her People (vol. 2).

Enjoy the journey!

The Journey You Start Isn’t The One You Finish

It's year 0093 in the New Calendar, 2165 in the Old. The family is gone. Women are sex slaves or surrogates used to breed sons for high-ranking Alphas. The world is run by the fiercely competitive, hierarchical Council of the Brotherhood Orders. They plan to mass-produce sons with two genetic fathers, using lobotomized women as wombs.

Half-brothers Jed and Max Kleer share little except an Alpha and a mysterious bond neither understands. The Council's grand plans don't concern them. Born in top-ranked cohorts, they're washouts and won't be Alphas. Forty-nine-year-old Jed toils in the dreary Archives Department after being booted from a top job in the prestigious Appraisal Department after an alcoholic breakdown. He suffers the insults of snotty interns, pops alcohol replacement pills, and yearns to return to Appraisal, where he had the power to decide what to keep and what to destroy from "the Before." Max lives in a squatter community, smokes pellets, barters found objects, and fruitlessly rebels against the Council's authority at every opportunity.

Jed's hopes come true. He’s reinstated to Appraisal—across the continent, in the Sonoran Desert. He misses Max, but he'll soldier on. One night, Jed casually wins a prize in a drunken card dame: Hannah Joyner, a young girl abducted from a settlement back east. Two weeks later, Max shows up, needing to lie low. Jed and Max resolve to guide the lost girl home.

What could possibly go wrong?

Everything.

The journey they start won’t be the one they finish.

Technium defies the conventions of the dystopian genre by combining romance, humor and lyrical meditations on the America that once was and might one day be. It consists of two books, The Brothers of Redemption, and A Daughter of Her People.
