Less than forty years into the future, most of mankind has elected to upload themselves to digital nirvana, where they can live as many lives as they care to in parallel, in as many different fantasy worlds as they desire. A small percentage of humans, however, are loath to give up the mortal coil. These last holdouts are the escapees from the future. The question is, for how long? Will Mother, the sentient internet, be content with gentle prodding to upgrade and uplift? Or will she resort to more coercive means? Has she already, unbeknownst to the final holdouts?…
Jane Macelvey is a genius bioengineer. Her first human guinea pig is also the one person who has any chance of keeping her alive against all the secret government agencies and private corporations that are after her. He is the first Nano Man. He has no idea what he can do, and neither does she.But one thing is certain, the special interests closing in on them have their own nexgen human prototypes, and they know exactly what they can do. They also recognize that the first to market with their prototype wins. For that reason and that reason alone, the Nano Man must be eliminated at all costs. Budget no object.-------------------------------------Nano Man is a 100K word novel in its current 2nd draft state, and I will post a new chapter every couple days or so.…
Three hundred years after Earth’s sentient internet takes the planet into Singularity—and out of spacetime—to avoid a sun going supernova ahead of schedule, the fleeing Martian colonists have found another kind of liberation. Using space warping ships they spread their seed across Andromeda. But if Frakas, the genius bioengineer who created a new Cambrian explosion of humanoid life, and the first of the hundred year men, clones designed to uplift souls, were enough to see them through the first leg of their journey, they are not around to be leaned on anymore. So begins the second trilogy of The Hundred Year Men saga, WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA, and the reign of Dargan, the second clone. But will the ingenious tactics of Dargan’s warlords be enough to unseat the powers threatening the empire from within as well as from without? Or will these highly evolved humanoid species merely use their genetic and cybernetic enhancements to make better war on a scale never before imagined, using imaginative methods only such technological breakthroughs—not to mention sprawling space armadas—could accommodate?---------------------------note: the three separate trilogies comprising the Hundred Year Men saga do not have to be read in order.…
There have been no communiques from Earth post Singularity. The Martian colonists wonder if the race abandoned space-time altogether. But for right now, they have bigger problems. Their sun is going supernova—well ahead of schedule. The two greatest minds of the time, one a scientist, the other a philosopher, concoct a two-pronged plan to save the human race. Frakas, the bioengineer, will continue to seed humanoid and increasingly alien life forms across the heavens using space warping ships. But higher consciousness isn’t exactly his specialty. And the one man who can be bothered to think beyond mean survival, his philosopher friend, Draxor, must be cloned before he passes. Only he can continue to uplift the ragtag worlds of hearty pioneers with little time to savor the finer things in life. Only he can ensure that, for those who choose to remain in the physical universe post Singularity, evolution will win out against the increasingly stronger pull towards barbarism. Thus is born The Hundred Year Man who reigns before passing the torch to the next clone. There is just one problem. The Hundred Year Man is just a prototype—and he’s flawed.…
In the times of the transhumans…The human upgrade economy is in full swing. Life has never been better. “What did people do before you could be anything you wanted to be?” asks Doc Holiday’s assistant. “I have no idea. Must have been a hell of an existence,” she replies.Doc Holiday is the Sister Theresa of her times, handing out new leases on life to military vets with PTSD, and new limbs in the form of cybernetic enhancements. From her seat at the head of New York’s premier upgrade hospital, she oversees all chiphead implants. She also supervises the advancements to mindchips that allow humans to adapt to any new task on the fly in order to keep up with a supercharged economy driven by the chipheads themselves.But the chipheads who have officially kicked off Singularity, a time characterized most of all by a post-exponential rate of change, unwittingly open the lid on Pandora’s Box. The question is, can she and her long-term on and off again lover, private dick, Rake Madden, close the lid in time before the runaway effects destroy them all?With the most advanced mindchip ever made, created for him by the open-source coalition, Rake devotes himself to unearthing conspiracies against the public interest. He fears unscrupulous individuals and coalitions are finding it ironically easy to get the best of the upgraded humans who delight too much in creating new worlds to worry much about who’s in charge of this one and what they’re doing to the present. That’s the loophole that needs closing if Singularity is not to become a progressive Apocalypse.…
When the premier architect for the pentagon’s next generation, largely robotic, military goes offline, citing irreconcilable differences, the CEO of RevoCorp, the private firm that manufactures all of Natty’s toys, takes it upon himself to help their boy genius undergo a change of heart. He schedules a little R&R for him in the thick of the Amazon jungle. His secret aim is to see that Natty has to fight for his life against many of his own creations. Perhaps after getting a taste of the corporate “team builder,” he’ll be right back to realizing that growing a conscience just gets in the way of boys with toys. He’s counting on the child at heart that Natty remains even now that he’s in his twenties resurfacing in force.Instead, a chain of events is unleashed that threatens not only the entire planet but compels the maturation that just hasn’t taken in Natty up until now. With his girlfriend in tow, and falling fast for the Special Ops guy heading up his protection detail, who is the epitome of the suave, sophisticated man of the world, as capable of dealing with anything reality dishes out as Natty is capable of avoiding reality altogether, he has no choice but to present a better version of himself to her or lose Laney altogether.Can Natty pull off the metamorphosis before Quatrell, his rival for Laney’s affections, decides it’s just more advantageous to let their CEO take him out, using the war games as an excuse?And what about what Natty finds in the depths of the amazon jungle? Prototypes he can barely remember designing are proving to have a life of their own beyond even their creator’s wildest imaginings. They also have an agenda entirely their own. And no Special Ops team is enough to protect Natty against a future he himself built, a post-human world, where even the most capable of combat-trained humans just can’t cut it anymore.…

Six hundred years into mankind’s unexpected exodus from Earth’s solar system due to a prematurely exploding sun, humanoid species have spread far and wide to form a trans-galactic empire. This is in part due to the pioneering genius of Frakas and his bioengineering prowess which allows humanoids to accommodate to new planets readily. It is also secondary to special pod ships and spirit ships left behind by long dead civilizations that allow for teleportation across massive chasms of spacetime.But the empire is torn. War rages in four sectors. The wargods governing each sector want to unite the entire kingdom under one banner, theirs. But each of the sectors has unique challenges and pitfalls that stymie the other warlords, maintaining a stalemate seemingly without end.Enter Raikin and his entourage of followers. In his teens, he is the youngest of the hundred year men to intervene in celestial matters, and he may also have his hands the most full. Will he and his followers be enough to upset the stalemate and bring peace to the universe? Or will the intense fusion of cutting edge science and magic he introduces to the equation simply spread these battles beyond this universe into parallel universes, and the multiverse as a whole?More ominous still, there appears to be outside forces influencing matters in the four sectors beyond anyone’s knowledge or ability to grasp. Some of the tech bequeathed to them by long dead civilizations may have a life and a mind of its own, begging the question, are these distant parties relegated to history, or just to a dimension beyond their current reach?…
