People are suddenly branded with a blood-red, three-digit number on their chests, providing incredible insight into our lifespans. But who is responsible for this life-changing phenomenon?
In a world filled with paranoia, mistrust, and uncertainty—where the consequences of every action are instantly revealed—a ruthless killer emerges with a bizarre modus operandi: his victims have timers that are about to expire.

THE AVIATORS is the first of a series of three novella-length stories, each one a stand-alone prequel to my military science fiction novel, FLEET OPPOSED, the first book of THE HAN WARS series (release date October 1, 2019). In each of the three stories, THE AVIATORS, THE INFANTRY, and THE SPACERS, you’ll get a glimpse inside three different service communities in the Republic Combined Fleet, and maybe meet a few characters who will make an appearance in FLEET OPPOSED or subsequent books.
UPDATE: All three novellas are now available in single paperback volume titled FLEET OPPOSED – THE PREQUELS. If you’re a reader who prefers a dead tree version, I’ve got you covered!

“Don’t let the undead pandemic force you to sacrifice your home’s curb appeal.”
1950s housewife, mother, and entrepreneur Suzie Baker has built a successful life and career in spite of a zombie pandemic.
While fixing a meal one evening, Suzie’s husband Don calls with some unfortunate news: he won’t make it home for dinner. A horde of zombies infiltrated his office building and made reaching their armory impossible, so he and his colleagues just have to wait them out in the safe room.
But as a professional homemaker and butt-kicking zombie murderess, Suzie takes it upon herself to brave the undead masses outside her reinforced house and bring Don home before the timer on the oven dings. After all, meatloaf is his favorite.
Ms. Sloane delivers a playful and dark-humored short read interspersed with silly advertisements, posters, and excerpts from Suzie’s guidebook.
