Two-hundred years in the future, a partially deciphered message from an alien race is revealed, then ignored. Maverick hero Fulton is shocked, and demands a first-contact mission.

Five years later, he sets out in a small, untested spacecraft, miraculously capable of folding space-time. The 90,000-word Samsara follows the four crew members on their journey through the stark emptiness of inter-stellar space, searching for the Qualein. But as gripping as this quest might be, it is merely the medium by which Samsara begins to tell the real, character-driven story of Earth's unprecedented political upheaval, through the perspectives of four very different individuals.

A single corporate-sponsored World Union has replaced 200 sovereign governments in the aftermath of a devastating global war. Fulton had been on the sharp end of the stick throughout, and never questioned his superiors' decisions. Until now. This mission is finally the one big thing he can call his own. Wishful thinking.

The secretive Diplomatic Corps has installed its agent (Rachael) as Fulton's second. They have also hidden a doomsday weapon aboard, for delivery to the Qualein, and a cloaked A.I. with its own sinister agenda. The third and fourth, Sophie and Dimitre, are each uniquely enhanced.

Fulton soon discovers they are heading into a galactic war, and realizes they've all been betrayed, and are lost, and the vagaries of space-time have moved them into the future. Stripped of their societal trappings, they only have their mission, and their traumatic memories, that bit-by-bit reveal their leaders' nefarious involvement in Earth's war.

Samsara is not your usual space opera; it caters to a more mature market. It is about humanity, spirituality, romance, life, death, and rebirth. It ends where it begins.

"The surprise was the haunting, parallel plot . . . that left me wanting more. . . . sprinkled with bits of humor . . . made me smile every time. Highly recommended!"

Two hundred years in the future, multi-national corporations have grown enough in power and reach to see national governments as obsolete, creating political instability, burdensome rules and uneven tariffs, without any apparent benefit. Even most public services have been contracted out to global monopolies. This includes the World Vids, the source for all news and information. With technology now able to easily generate any virtual reality for the screen, the acceptance of "created" content has become universal. But recently, some of the more perceptive politicians have noticed a disturbing trend in incidents undermining their authority, and it's making them nervous.

Privileged political apprentice Toby Fitzgerald -"Kenshi"- is largely oblivious to all of this. But when he survives a dramatic terrorist attack on the Senate leadership, his investigation to find those responsible makes him a persona non grata with the corporate power elite, and soon plunges him into a world of nightmarish political upheaval.

Kenshi's World is the second novel in the Samsara sci-fi series, taking place almost three decades before Samsara. It spans the eighteen months of escalating terror preceding the global War that took the lives of six billion people.

The Samsara series is based on the dreams subplot in Dreams of the Iklax, a sci-fi/political thriller set in an alternative near-future.

A Wall Street Journal analysis concluded the last administration's "Moon, Mars, and Beyond" space exploration initiative was motivated not so much to send man to the planets as to send new business to the U.S. aerospace industry. In a bit of prescience, Dreams presents one harrowing answer to the question: What would be the reaction if U.S. dollars were supporting an international space program, and the consortium awarded the most lucrative contract to a foreign competitor?

Charles Xavier Fulton, the U.S. space program manager, is living a thankless existence under the thumb of Vice-President Savage (U.S. space policy czar). For Fulton, the question is: What if all your dreams came true, and then turned into the biggest nightmare of your life?

Night Frost is a technology/spy thriller set in the recent past.

Heavy-handed spy-chief Drago sets up brilliant CIA scientist Olcovich in Finland to tempt the Iranians with a bogus room-temperature superconductor, to con them out of $billions for its "development." Olcovich resents his treatment, and pursues his own agenda as he immerses himself in his role, leaving Drago in a two-truth clandestine fog. Is the technology real?

Anti-hero American lawyer Roger Piersig is recruited by Olcovich to manage the legal end of his business, and finds himself in the middle of a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Complicating his job is the beautiful but headstrong Finnish intelligence agent Lotta Svärd, every bit his intellectual equal.

The characters on both sides share the same shades of gray, with room for ambiguity and contradiction. Nevertheless, in the end and as expected, good triumphs over evil.

Or does it?

"turned out to be as good as the some of the best-sellers I've read . . . well worthwhile! I look forward to reading more by this author."

Still working on this one. . .

Ripley's World is the third novel in the Samsara series. It was finished, but too short and is now undergoing a major rewrite.

With the global War to bring all governments under the umbrella of the World Union well underway, the largely invisible Resistance is giving the Committee heartburn. A chance discovery leads them to target a suspected Resistance expert on artificial-intelligence, the Havana-based Margaret Ripley. If she steals the dangled bait--a very desirable A.I., the Committee's operatives are confident the A.I. trojan horse can expose the whole Resistance.

But when she discovers the ruse, Ripley thinks she can turn the A.I. against the Committee and burrow into its secrets, if only she can keep him isolated long enough to allow her humanizing modifications to take hold. That turns out to be easier said than done, even with the help of familiar Resistance veterans.

In the pipeline . . .

Daughtry's World will be the fourth novel in the Samsara series. Now at the detailed outline stage, it will come along when the author is out from under the currently prohibitive demands on his time.

Two hundred years in the future, in the unsettled aftermath of a brutal, global political upheaval, Kevin Daughtry investigates a series of murders, following the trail of evidence to Mars. But when the clues point to a coverup of a heinous subterfuge committed by Earth's powerful new leaders, the now-hunted Daughtry is trapped within the confines of the Mars colony. With nowhere to run, he must navigate the byzantine political landscape to sort out those new friends who are on his side from those who now want him dead.
