    Encounter Over Alaska

    On November 17, 1986, cargo flight JAL 1628 reported three massive UFOs on a routine run to Anchorage, becoming one of history’s most famous UFO cases.

Teaming up, they risk their careers to expose government deception.

    In a near future where disease and religious upheaval push society toward collapse—and humans are enhanced by biology or machines—Jeremiah Jones must find the one man who might restore order: Walt Devereaux. Yet Devereaux may have engineered bioweapons capable of ending humanity. Is he a threat, or is Jeremiah being used?

  • The Devereaux Disaster

    The Devereaux Disaster

    As humanity nears a permanent Moon base, retired agent Jeremiah Jones returns—teaming with former enemy Jack Marschenko to rescue his bio-engineered son from Dr. Taditha Poole’s conditioning. Manipulator Elias Leach tightens control from Earth, but the cadets’ programming fractures and they unleash asteroid-defense lasers on the planet. On the Moon, the genetically engineered Escala prepare for Mars and clash with the cadets as fragile peace collapses. Injured and too infected with the Susquehanna Virus to survive, Jeremiah watches Earth’s nations turn their weapons moonward. In the widening war, sacrifice is inevitable—and the question becomes what it means to be human.

    It is both a fast-paced thriller and an insightful story forcing the reader to consider our not-too-distant future

  • Voice of the Elders

    Voice of the Elders

    In a near-future Earth shattered by climate refugees, Rohini Haakonsen attends a UN summit when humanoid aliens—the Elders—appear, offering to fix the crisis. Chosen as an ambassador to their world, Rohini becomes a target: masked gunmen try to kidnap her, exposing fierce resistance to the aliens’ plan. With Agent Jane Smith and a Daoist secret society, she flees worldwide, hunting the truth before Earth destroys her.

    A probing science fiction novel with compelling environmental themes. I’d call this book Daoist Cli-Fi. A new sub-genre.
