Under a Dark Sky Worldburner Book 1

Under a Dark Sky is a hardboiled dystopian cyberpunk thriller, in the vein of Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon. Genetic engineering, all-powerful mega-corporations, hard-talking antiheroes and even harder women are the stuff of legends yet untold. They are also the backbone of the Worldburner universe.

Fast-paced, exciting and full of twists! ★★★★☆

Jungles like in the Predator or Avatar, cities like in Blade Runner and tech like in Aliens, Neuromancer and Altered Carbon. ★★★★★

Under a Winter Sun Worldburner Book 2

Under a Winter Sun is the action packed sequel to Under a Dark Sky, and moves into more of a military science fiction pace, while still keeping the cyberpunk thriller elements and never straying far from the concepts of hard sci-fi.

Stunning! I am so excited to get my hands on it. The first part was absolutely brilliant. ★★★★★

Under a Demon Star Worldburner Book 3

I am currently in the process of outlining the third and final novel in the Worldburner Suite, chronicling the adventures of Asher Perez and his band of unlikely friends.
Most of the major pieces are in place, and now, all I need to do is find the time to write the damn thing... I had hoped this Covid thing would give me more time to write when I don't have to commute to work, but alas, that has not been the case.
I can't wait for number three! ★★★★★
