SUPERBUGS

Imagine a world devoid of compassion – a world in which even babies are threatened by the brutality of unrepentant monsters, snatching them from their mothers to be medically experimented on. This is the world in 2090.
The future is not friendly. Rife with violence, quarantines, and Precautions from the rolling pandemics that keep people in an eternal state of fear and suspicion, where you live is no longer a matter of choice but of government assignment. Once citizens, the people are now called “residents.” There is no commerce. There are no public gatherings. There is no respite from a world gone mad. This is the world of Lily Brayburn, who leads government-mandated residential building, charged with the care of the
people who live there. Her parents having disappeared without a trace, she’s alone in the world, except for these people. And not all the residents in Lily’s plant are her friends. One of them has set his sights on her leadership

And it’s dangerous out there. Military/police, trained in abusive methods of crowd control, are on every block, ready to punish and detain – especially the homeless, now used by the government as virus cure crash test dummies.

But not everyone is complacent.

People like Lily are losing patience with the government’s machinations, and as uprisings explode all over the planet, they’ve started to come out of the shadows. Those shadows are long. A shadow government, led by the richest family in the world, seats former dictators and reprobate thugs around its Council table. But the rich are rarely satisfied. Plots abound. Everybody wants to sit in the chair at the head of the table.

Then, a pregnant girl finds her way into Lily’s residential plant during a massacre in the street outside, and everything changes. In 2090, you need to
be smart. You need to be quick. Or you’ll be snatched and never seen again.

MEMORY THIEVES

A hardened veteran of the country’s most elite forces, Vince had a resemblance of an ordinary life out of the service. With his turtle Burt by his side, he had a mundane job that any person could do, which gave him time to indulge in his passion for tech and electronic gadgets. Only, his ordinary life was marred by night terrors and vicious nightmares of war memories, and their troublesome friend, insomnia. Everything changed when he saw an ad online promising an end to his sleep problems and the promise of a goodnight’s sleep. He couldn’t resist such a prospect.

What promised to be a life-changing experience offered by a global conglomerate turned out to be an illegal operation where people’s memories are harvested and sold to the highest bidder. They thought their procedure worked, and they managed to steal all his memories, erasing them from his head in the process. They thought wrong. Vince kept it all, and is hell-bent on revenge and exposing their operation, with the help of an inside source that facilitated his escape. It’s him versus the world’s biggest company, the memory thieves. They will stop at nothing to protect their interests, and Vince will stop at nothing to take them down after what they did and to protect his guardian angel on the inside.

THE UNBORN

After the world’s water resources were decimated by successive droughts, only one group stood to profit from the resulting chaos. The Forge Corporation had been buying up international water rights for years, and collapsing governments were falling over themselves to sell.

As the big dry continued, Forge’s role began to extend towards governance, and the corporation began to be seen more as saviors of the people than as a money-hungry conglomerate. Their power was cemented when the pandemic era hit, and wave after wave of viruses and unheard-of diseases decimated populations, governments, and social institutions. Forge was the only organization in a position to offer leadership to people no longer able to feed themselves.

At first, the corporation was seen as benign benefactors, but that situation quickly began to change as Forge started to exert more totalitarian control. Nowhere was this control more obvious than in its Birth Project, which required all pregnant women to surrender their unborn children to the corporation. Those who had doubts about what was happening were forced to flee and take their chances in the desert or risk being imprisoned as slave labor in the corporation’s food wells.

Even the most senior members of the directorate were not immune to falling foul of the all-powerful corporation, as Summer Hurst discovered when she found herself pregnant with twins. Now, she was faced with the daunting choice of trying to escape or surrendering her unborn children to the Birth Project, where she had been working as a technician. Few people knew better than she did just how dire problems had become within the project.

She was not the only person facing difficult decisions. With a coup looking imminent, and his son held hostage by a wildly unpredictable desert clan, her husband Jake was also having to come to terms with a new reality. One that would shock him to his core.
