The Paradise Factory

She’s a policewoman with a past. In a future ruled by AI, one bad decision could get her killed… or worse.

Former UN Marine Alice Yu is a beat-down cop running from guilt in a ruined city. Brutally ambushed and left for dead, she’s powerless to prevent a ruthless crime boss from abducting her NYPD partner. Though it will cost her job in a world with 99% unemployment, she vows to bring him back from the lawless and forbidden Fourth Ward Territory.

Fighting through injuries and resurfacing trauma, Yu tracks her mentor’s trail. But when her war born PTSD flares in the face of a cartel death squad, her bloody background could spell her demise. And if she doesn’t succeed, the entire city is doomed.
Can Yu save the man she failed, or will her quest for redemption become a suicide mission?

If you like the post-apocalyptic technothrillers of A.G. Riddle, Hugh Howey and William Gibson, you’ll love the thrilling Alice Yu series. Buy The Paradise Factory to discover this amazing new world today!

Exiled

ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN. OR MAKE ONE UP REALLY QUICKLY.

Slim Taggart has stolen plenty of things in his short life. That’s what happens when you come from a family of planet-hopping thieves.

But when he somehow finds himself in possession of a shard from an ancient alien tech known as the Emberling, things start getting hotter than he likes.

Before Taggart knows it, a half-dozen criminal syndicates are on his tail, desperate for the powerful payload.

And that’s before he manages to take aboard a motley crew of characters who each openly admit they’d kill for it, too.

Luckily, Taggart has a plan. He always does.

He just hasn’t quite figured out what it is yet…

Exiled is the first book in the Emberling series, an action-packed carnival ride of a space opera that will leave you breathless.

Note: This is an homage to classic pulp sci-fi. If you’re looking for hard sci-fi, look elsewhere. But if you’re looking for adventures on alien planets with even more alien creatures, this is the series for you!

Unconstant Love

Their fortunes are spent, frittered away on junk food and alcohol. Their crew is dwindled down to its last three members. The galaxy has all but forgotten about them.

Two years have passed since Captain Nemo rose to the heights of galactic infamy only to crash and burn in spectacular fashion. Hiding out in the galaxy’s bloomhole, the three remaining members of The Unconstant Lover’s crew are broke, desperate and ready to murder one another at the slightest provocation.

That’s when they stumble upon the greatest heist the galaxy’s ever seen, all planned and packaged just for them.

That heist will see them robbing blind the most feared megacorp in the galaxy – the impregnable Gitter Consortium. It will take all of the crew’s cunning, firepower and profanity to escape this one with the booty on board – and they’re two men down.

The greatest challenge the cutthroat crew faces, however, is not spice rangers or planetary blockades or corporate secrets – it’s themselves. With seven years of bickering and backstabbing under their belts, it will be a miracle if these three space pirates can pull together enough to pull off this one last job.

Welcome to the Silent Zone

Film rights instantly sold before publication
The film adaptation has since been released both in cinemas and on streaming platforms. It is available on Hulu/Disney, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+.

WHAT IS THE SILENT ZONE? Find out the truth!
Years after the outbreak of a mysterious pandemic, hardly any survivors are left in the quarantined wasteland of North America. Hunger and the menace of man-eaters are nothing compared to the ferals – those who were infected and mutated by the virus.

Two survivors, the pregnant Megan and her brother David, leave a deserted colony to seek a safer haven. A huge pack attacks them on the way, and they only manage to escape in the last moment with the help of two hunters. Cassius and Abigail have roamed the wasteland since the Breakdown, and even as they bicker over whether to take in more strays, they realize that there is something strange about the siblings and that the ferals will not rest until they are caught.

The group heads to a riverside colony where Megan can safely give birth to her child. None of them could have predicted the dangers that await them on their journey – or that the ferals might not be the biggest peril.

“You are hunted by the most dangerous animal on the planet.”

“Silent Zone manages to blend the best of the zombie genre with characters you care about and wonderful twists. Be careful when you start it, you may not be able to stop!” — Declan Hannigan, writer/actor

“Author Viktor Csák has crafted a chilling paranormal action thriller with so much depth and so many surprises that it’s hard to know where to begin the praise. The atmosphere was a constant standout feature for me, depicting desolate wastelands and desperate survivors huddled together in cloying, festering conditions. The work goes beyond the cinematic to give you a visceral feel of the pain, hunger, and hardship of the cast, which endears them to you and makes you even more invested in their survival.” — K. C. Finn, Reader’s Favorite
