Neuware - Once the ruling class and government understood there could be no cohabitation and sharing of resources with the Black and brown hordes streaming through unprotected borders, a revolution started, pulling from US history. The year 2041 AD marked the age of the Second Republic's first steps in making the difficult easy, making the complex simple. Daring steps led to clear distinctions in socioeconomic groups: patricians, plebians, surfers, and slaves. Everyone knew their place. No confusion. No chaos.Based on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, we see our future that shows striking similarities to this age of imperialism, classism, and capitalistic expansion where racism is commonplace, slavery exists, and a minority of people are in absolute power. Instead of Belgium Company's outposts along the Congo River in Africa in 1899 or a US Swift Boat going up the Nung River in Vietnam in 1969, this is the great Third Republic on Earth and colonies on Mars in the year 2126.Cassandra XI, patrician and first-class citizen, is exposed to a traumatic experience that later has her questioning the established social order. She is eventually tried and convicted as an insurrectionist, her personal AI deactivated, social status and titles revoked, and she is sent to prison. Cassandra is then approached by Captain Willard Bennett of the light cruising ship the Jefferson Davis to investigate why the Martian colony New Georgia went dark, leaving severed heads on spikes and the message 'Bring Cassandra Kurtz.'With no choice but to go, Cassandra's life is about to change in unimaginable ways.

Neuware - Intelligent Design: Revelations is a science fiction novella that looks at the origins of our existence as a species, and our place in the universe. The story begins on the planet Mars during its apex where the balance between technology and nature is achieved. All is well until the Gemini planetoids between Mars and Jupiter fall out of their orbits and are set for a collision course. Master Architect Janus and his peers set forth a plan to not only preserve as much of their culture as possible, but the majority set out to find their Creator. Over six million years later on planet Earth, Lieutenant Colonel David Farrell is baffled by a conspiracy that not only cuts through the US's security as if it were non-existent, but also defies the laws of nature and the rules of science. FEMA Director Roberta Josephine Riesman's period of mourning her soul mate's sudden death is cut short by an assignment that requires her to spy on an old friend. Thrust in the middle of a mystery that involves the greatest natural disaster encountered by humans, Riesman discovers that the very core of human existence is about to be challenged. Earth is not prepared. Reluctantly, she is confronted with a choice - walk away to live in France with the memories of her paramour, or take the challenge to make a difference. '.You know Ms. Perez, we live in a world of dualities. On one hand, we have technology that can pick up chemical compositions of planets outside our solar system, and we can now grow and transplant human organs. There are space probes in deep, interstellar space, and we can tell when how many times our planet wobbles on its axis,' he said, still looking at his hands. 'At the same time, there's a cult in Ireland who believe there are aliens living among us.'.

Neuware - After a world pandemic decimates the male population, a soldier experimenting with cryogenic hibernation is forgotten for one hundred thirty years. He is awakened by a group of cybernetic lifeforms, artificial persons (APs) who were driven from their walled mega-state, Nemericana - a militaristic matriarch that also cast out their male youth once they are adolescent. Worse than all this: the APs are getting smart enough to make their own decisions. This is a world where the science we know today has warped into masterful and terrifying ways of manipulating and controlling humanity. You will hide with Second Lieutenant Jose Melendez as he awaits extraction from the jungles of Brazil, while the male population of the world experiences a dangerous chemical aberration. You will follow the classified mission of Dr. Marcella Del Cruz as she leads a classified mission in Antarctica that holds the key to the future of mankind. You will watch with Major Mare Singh as she sees the citizens of Nemericana drugged into submission while corruption tears at the fabric of their artificially calm society. But the most astonishing and terrifying force in Future Prometheus is the legion of cybernetic life-forms that are determined to achieve consciousness and claim their place in the new world order. This is a world that could be our own in the not too distant future. 'A gripping story featuring well-constructed characters, poignant moral dilemmas and a chillingly realistic dystopian future.' - Kirkus Review.

Once the powerful chairman of the now-gutted and defunct Foreign Intelligence Agency, he is now in hiding, assembling the pieces of a plan to find Alexander Burns, the man he holds responsible for his downfall. Living in plain view in New Hampshire's White Mountains, Burns patiently waits for Daniels to make his move. Burns's plan is simple: bait Daniels, and when Daniels shows himself, the hunter will become the hunted. But while Burns and his supporters at the FBI watch and wait, Daniels puts into motion a plan that strikes at the heart of Burns's life: his family. As a series of perfectly timed, devastating events unfold like clockwork, Burns and the FBI recognize the signature style of the Eagle. Burns is now challenged to outmaneuver his enemy before all he holds dear is destroyed. Following the critical success of Albatross and Raven, Eagle continues the richly characterized, fast-paced action third installment of the Birds of Flight series, and is the first part of a three-part story to be concluded in Falcon & The Black Swan. Eagle also received Honorable Mention from the Readers' Favorite 2014 Book Award and Finalist from the Colorado Independent Publishers Association's 20th Annual EVVY Award.

Neuware - What if Jason Bourne remembered everything right from the very start What would happen to his therapist and nurse that helped him through his post-trauma amnesia Would the government that trained him want him and his friends to live now What would he do to protect himself and the people who helped him from his ruthlessly efficient, former boss When Alexander Burns, former counter-terrorist specialist of a powerful, clandestine spec-ops agency, released a destructive computer virus known as 'Albatross' to millions, he infiltrated the security of three federal agencies, immobilized all levels of law enforcement, and brought the entire Northeast region to a standstill. What his civilian team of reluctant operatives did took years of meticulous planning, six hours to execute, and then they evaporated into thin air. Before Burns could steal terabytes of classified operations and mission recordings that would shock the world, he made sure key people were out of the way. Former Marine Warrant Officer Diane Welch was an obstacle. Her knowledge of events in Pakistan's Swat Valley, and her contact with Burns's handlers and FBI director would have compromised mission. Burns was lucky on May 2 - Welch was not around that fateful day. But his luck has run out. She is now part of the team that is on the hunt to bring him and his domestic terrorists to justice and keep classified secrets from becoming public. Welch, Lt. Andersen and Director Helms know Burns has these damning files but they need to find out why he risked so much to get them. To find out, the FBI approaches Burns to retrieve those documents and negotiate for him to come in from the cold. The plan might have worked except Thomas 'Steel' Webber blows it up with clear objectives: kill Burns and his team. As new alliances form and dangerous enemies emerge, Burns has to decide whether he is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his crew. Award winning Raven: Birds of Flight continues where Albatross left off with its fast-paced, character-driven action adventure.

He stepped up to save a Pennsylvania farm when his future wife's parents were killed in a tragic accident. He found a new home for his unmarried sister when a horrendous earthquake drove her from the family residence in Charleston, South Carolina. And he thought he had provided the perfect safety net for his eight daughters by bringing together a mother who loved them to distraction and a doting aunt to whom they could turn when they felt like running away from home. It might even have worked-if the two women had not been so very different. Katerina was an outspoken Northern farm girl, whose talents ran to cooking, sewing, and taking care of everyone around her. Rebecca was a classic Southern belle, most at home surrounded by books and music. Katerina's greatest wish for her daughters was that they all would find handsome and generous husbands who would take care of them and protect them for all of their lives. Rebecca wanted to see the girls grow up to be strong and independent women, capable of supporting themselves and playing an active role in the world around them. Katerina looked back longingly to a nineteenth century in which values were strong and safety was promised to all who followed the rules. Rebecca leaned into the new challenges of the twentieth century, believing in the promises of the future. The stage was set for a lifetime of clashing values worthy of the feud of the legendary Kilkenny cats, who fought until there was nothing left of either one of them. Willingly or not, the two women lived in a rapidly changing world. Transportation moved from the horse and buggy to the Model T Ford, and dirt roads became paved highways. Family farms gave way to land speculators. Politicians quit arguing about government corruption and worried about prohibition and women's suffrage. Uncontrolled financial panics yielded to governmental regulation. Social power fell from the wealthy upper crust into the hands of the middle class, and labor unions took control from monopolies. Trains, airplanes, telegraphs, and radio waves picked up the news from around the globe and brought it into once isolated homes. Assassinations, earthquakes, revolutions, epidemics, the sinking of an unsinkable ocean liner, and a war that killed millions of men demanded their attention. Two women-tied irrevocably together by their love for Jamey Grenville and their devotion to his eight young daughters-battled the challenges, sometimes together, sometimes from opposite sides. But eventually those daughters grew up and spiraled away from the family center. The girls found their own husbands-a quiet schoolmaster, a coal miner, an ambitious farmer, a psychotic evangelist, a bootlegger, a stockbroker, a hardware salesman, an alcoholic newspaperman. They launched themselves on eight very different life paths, leaving their mother and their aunt at last with no one to lean on but each other.
