The Unique Structure of my Novels


PeaceMaker, Unholy Domain and 2031: The Singularity Pogrom deliver all the excitement of a technological thriller while also delving into provocative themes: the bioethics of genetic engineering, the question of what limit (if any) should be placed on technology, the problem of reconciling faith in God and respect for his creation with the technological promises of artificial intelligence, the dangers of integrating human and artificial intelligence, and the age-old issue of family ties and the loyalty between parent and child.

I wrote these novels such that each one comprises a stand-alone, complete story, yet they share characters, setting and theme just as in a conventional series. Set in a violent near-future, these unique novels follow a clash of wills between software genius Ray Brown, his gifted son David, and megalomaniac Dianne Morgan, Ray's one-time lover. The series exists at the intersection of imagination and reality, utilizing a skillful blend of violence, mystery and unfulfilled love. My writing has been compared to William Gibson, Robert Sawyer and Philip K. Dick.

The entire series is available on Amazon in eBook or paperback format.

Quotes edit see section history

  • “No one really has the guts to say it, but if we could make better human beings by knowing how to add genes, why shouldn’t we?—-- James Watson, Co-discoverer of the structure of DNA. My new novel, 2031: The Singularity Pogrom takes Watson’s idea and raises the ante. Why not integrate artificial and human intelligence in these "better human beings"? Would the result continue to be human or perhaps something dangerous beyond our understanding? Welcome to the violent world of 2031.”
