Here’s the set-up:
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Albert Einstein’s warning ricochets inside Robert Goodfellow’s thoughts as he races to stop the cyber and robotic murders of American and Russian leaders propelling the United States and Russia into war.
Part-time cyberwarrior and conflict avoiding cerebral soldier, Robert has been ordered to locate and protect Pion, the autistic, cyber savant US officials believe is their best, and maybe only chance to prevent catastrophe. Reluctantly joining him in his quest is Mugavus Komfort, a female partner from his past. From the highly advanced, newly independent seasteaded State of SPEA to the ancient African nation of Ethiopia, Robert and Mugavus battle their way through a near-future, dystopian world ravaged by the Endless Fire of climate change, chaos and conflict. US and Russian assassins, predator robots, terrorists and rebels surround and imperil Robert and Mugavus as they struggle to save the world from itself. It’s a race against time. In the end will they be too late?
Future Furies is the first instalment of the Endless Fire series.

Here’s the set-up:
Sixteen year-old, Skyla Messenger is a dead girl walking. When her newly remarried mother moves the family to Paragon Island, to a house that is rumored to be haunted, Skyla finds refuge in Logan Oliver, a boy who shares her unique ability to read minds. Skyla discovers Logan holds the answers to the questions she’s been looking for, but his reluctance to give her the knowledge she desires leaves her believing Logan has a few secrets of his own. Skyla’s bloodlines may just be connected to the most powerful angelic beings that roam the earth, and the more she knows, the more danger she seems to be in. Suddenly an entire faction of earthbound angels want her dead, but Skyla is nowhere near done living—and she’s not going down without a fight. It’s on.

Here’s the set-up:
Sam Adamson would do anything to leave the climate-ravaged wastelands of Earth… even if it means working for pirates. So when he’s offered a job repairing a derelict spaceship’s computer, he jumps at the chance to head to the Kuiper Belt, an area at the edge of the solar system reviled for its lawlessness and tenuous ability to sustain life. But the repair proves difficult, and the pirates who hired Sam leave him to die in the computer’s core. Fortunately, the inhabitants of a utopian village rescue him and show him that human relationships can be more open and connected once Earth habits have been broken. He’s content to live the rest of his days away from Earth until he learns his work on the spaceship inadvertently created a new, all-knowing—but misguided—technology-based species. And their mistakes threaten to tear the very fabric of human interaction.
