Volume I – 1926 - 1962 Future nuclear physicist, Lise Reber, and future fighter pilot and test engineer, Heinrich von Onsager must fight for survival at the hands of fanatical Nazi, Hans Fritz. The trio begin as friends at a Hitler Youth science academy in 1926. Not long after wedding bells ring for Lise and Heinrich in 1935, Hans discovers Lise’s lost Jewish ancestry at the cusp of WW II. She escapes to Yugoslavia, but Hans captures her family, trapping Heinrich. Captured by the Russians at the war’s end, Lise will spend decades working as a nuclear weapons designer while Heinrich designs jets for the Americans. Each believes the other dead thanks to Russian deceit. Volume II – 1963 - 2049 Heinrich marries Donna Dearborne, daughter of General Dearborne, becoming a military industrialist in the Cold War spy satellite business. A crazed KGB assassin kills Donna in 1962, leaving only Heinrich’s first-born son alive. Douglas von Onsager is killed in the 9/11 terror attack after building up a multi-billion-dollar trading firm. Once again alone, Heinrich rebuilds his son’s trading firm with the help of lead attorney Jana Friedman. Profits go into building a lunar mining facility spearheaded by chief scientist Charlie Moss. The romance of Charlie and Jana is pit against a devolving, post Trump world. One-hundred-seven years old, Lise discovers Heinrich barely alive in 2023. After his body is cryopreserved in 2025, Lise takes the reins of power while thriving on first generation youth cocktails. Convinced humanity’s survival depends on colonizing Mars, she funds a Mars mission crewed by two neuro-enhanced men paired to two neuro-enhanced women through the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence, Darwin. Volume III – 2049... Uploaded beings commandeer the nuclear fleets of the Confederate American States and Russia. Regenerated and upgraded, Lise, Charlie, and Jana race to resurrect Heinrich while building a lunar refugee camp armed with nuclear weapons with help from an uploaded Air Force general. The evolution of Darwin past his design parameters complicates life for the Martian astronauts as they join forces with the lunar refugees to fight against Earth’s new masters after they begin killing off humanity. After losing a battle for possession of the moon, Jupiter will mark the spot of humanity’s last stand between Darwin, the Martian astronauts, Lise’s refugees, and the uploaded warlord who takes control of North America.

You think you got problems? Try being a rock star, mate. It’s 1984, and lead singer Jack St James is on cloud nine. He’s met the woman of his dreams and his rock band, Pirate, is on track to finish its sold-out American tour in four days. If only he hadn’t done some foolhardy things—things that threaten to derail the end of the tour and wreck his plans to retire to the English countryside. Namely, leaping from one hotel balcony to another eight stories above the ground, attracting the attention of the mainstream news media, and having his true identity revealed to the world. Now his all-powerful father knows exactly where he is and will move heaven and earth to punish him for calling himself “Jack.” How dare he use the name of his brother, his father’s heir and favored son who died a senseless and terrible death? And how dare he shame his father by becoming a rock star, instead of assuming his rightful place in English society? As Jack and band manager Dunk batten down the hatches, little do they know that they face not one but three rich and powerful men colluding to derail the final concerts in the tour: Jack’s evil father, their coked-up A&R executive, and a smarmy swami intent on kidnapping Jack’s new woman. Jack is finally facing the enemy of a lifetime, one he cannot predict or control, and the dream life he’s worked so hard to attain hangs in the balance. Content advisory: In keeping with the era and setting, this book contains adult themes and language and potentially upsetting content. This is book 2 in the Pirate (the Rock Band) series.
