H7N9: Lockdown

H7N9 Chronicles Book 1

Sci-Fi Thriller / Post-apocalyptic

A deadly influenza pandemic.
An escaped convict.
A single mother desperate to protect her only child.


As an insidious virus threatens to cripple society, providence brings together two survivors in an unlikely partnership to aid a world fraught with chaos.

On a small poultry farm located in Delaney, Georgia, an antigenic shift causes the H7N9 bird flu virus to jump to other species. The contagion burns through everything in its path despite the federal government’s ham-handed efforts to mask its true nature. The unprecedented mortality rate paralyzes the nation and paves the way for establishing FEMA’s martial law across the country.

At a maximum security federal penitentiary south of Tucson, Arizona, Teddy Sanders’s world of structure and routine crumbles to dust as the virus starts spreading through the prison, callously striking down guards and his fellow inmates alike. The administration loses control, and Teddy finds himself fighting enemies both old and new. Circumstances force him to form precarious alliances in order to escape what has effectively become a concrete tomb.

Meanwhile, fifty miles away in the heart of downtown Tucson, a young woman named Jane risks it all to keep her young son Danny safe in an apartment building. Surrounded by armed looters and desperate survivors as well as an increasingly hostile military presence, Jane is forced to venture out on her own to forage for supplies.

When their paths cross and inalterable choices are made, will the unwitting pair find salvation?

A nation shattered.
A government ruthless in its grip on power.
One man’s promise in the face of despair.


Haunted by heartbreak and a past decision in Tucson, Teddy Sanders resolves to no longer turn away from trouble—and in the aftermath of the H7N9 pandemic, trouble is all there is.

With the US in chaos, the government, ensconced in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, enacts Presidential Directive 40, declaring a national emergency. FEMA, now a militarized police force, rules over the remnants of society with an iron fist, establishing civilian work camps and enforcing martial law to maintain control.

In one such camp, Teddy, alongside his new ally, Ein, navigates a minefield of authoritarian brutality. Committed to escape and desperate for freedom, Teddy’s resolve is tested when he uncovers the camp’s chilling secrets. As winter encroaches and the camp’s stability wavers under the strain of dwindling supplies and rising tension among guards and detainees, the stakes skyrocket.

Amidst the growing chaos, will Teddy find a way to free himself and Ein before the camp collapses into violence, or will their hopes for freedom be crushed under the weight of an imploding regime?

Sci-Fi Thriller / Cyberpunk / Dystopian

As the world teeters on the brink of collapse—ravaged by war, political upheaval, and environmental catastrophe—humanity finds its last refuge in Verisim, a digital sanctuary that offers a tranquil escape from the harshness of reality. Inside this virtual paradise, Dylan McKnight, once a cop in the real world and now a virtual homicide detective, navigates a society where the gap between wealth and poverty is as stark as the divide between illusion and truth.

With the pristine facade of Verisim wearing thin on him, Dylan becomes increasingly suspicious when a series of bizarre murders unfolds—crimes orchestrated by a mysterious figure who manipulates the system under various guises. When the death of a high-profile citizen forces Dylan to return to the real world, he finds himself in a wasteland abandoned by its leaders and patrolled by a ruthless, militarized police force.

 

In a desperate race against time, Dylan must navigate the blurred lines between his digital dreams and the grim face of reality. As he delves deeper into his investigation, the stakes grow ever higher. Can he uncover the true nature of Verisim and restore balance to both worlds, or will the convergence of virtual and the actual consume him?
