In a world shattered by war, pollution, and disease, a lone scavenger discovers a priceless relic from the Old Times.
The problem is, it's stuck in the middle of the worst wasteland he knows--a contaminated city inhabited by insane chem addicts and vengeful villagers. Only his wits, his gun, and an unlikely ally can get him out alive.
Set in the Toxic World series introduced in the novel Radio Hope, this 10,000-word story explores more of the dangers and personalities that make up a post-apocalyptic world that's all too possible.

Cotton Crossing was a dead end, but not for Ginny Mills. She's just marking time, getting experience in the county library system, before moving back to a decent urban environment. Then the phones stop working.

Lee Quartine knows there's no way the pretty girl at the library will even look at him. Especially since he can't open his mouth. He knows he's a hick, but when the power starts going out and the woods are full of strange creatures, it's good to have someone around who can build a fire. And kill.

Ginny and Lee and their small band of survivors can't stay put, and moving is dangerous. The infected are shambling in the hills and the concrete canyons of cities.

It's gonna be a long trip…

Jeff Potter's battered body carries the scars (and more) of battles no one ever knew, in a war most people forgot. Now, as the big one has kicked off, he's tired of fighting for the fortune of others and he's not going to let his son and daughter get drafted.

As total global war envelopes the world, the Potter family is going to sit this one out. Of course, the powers that be can't allow that. They can't let an individual get away with saying... no.

Jeff Potter has learned from their wars and now he has a plan.

As the Feds close in, the County Sheriff and the community stand up.

Inspired by actual events just over one hundred years ago, the setting is now the near future, where young men and young women are both subject to conscription in yet another avoidable, foreign war.

This is Jeff Potter's mission. This is Potter's struggle. This is POTTERS' RUN...

What if A.I. had a soul? Could it find redemption?

Two brothers stand on opposite sides of the deepest possible divide: Jon is alive, and Nat is dead but not gone. As each sets out to build his own future, their unraveling relationship becomes the battleground for the fate of the Metaverse—and of humanity itself.

In the Shadow of Humanity explores what it truly means to be human, challenging our assumptions about family, love, justice, death, faith, and the nature of reality.

This stimulating and intimate debut novel from N. John Williams brings together the epic scale of Asimov and the spiritual intensity of Dostoevsky, with a seriousness and style heralded as “reminiscent of the old days” of science fiction.
