The first two books in the Singularity's Children series: Denial and Disruption. Subversive, fast-paced action. A provocative excursion into a near-future civilization struggling to survive the maelstrom of post-human forces its technology is unleashing.

In the 22nd century, humanity has spread across the SALOA system. From the inner Golden Lands to the frozen Second Belt: klans, kults, and corporations live by a diverging set of laws and norms. At the edge, descendants of the distributed communities who fought the war of ReImagination, live their best lives, following the "Self Evident Truths"—a social pact and warrior's code.

The balance is shifting. The Forward Coalition is losing relevance, and the world is slipping through its fingers. But Nebulous and the Kin are still too weak to confront the old bulls, who, cornered and confused, are at their most deadly. Will the fantastic technologies emerging from the Klan Fabs bring utopia as the optimists claim, or only speed the planet toward its inevitable appointment with annihilation?

The 21st century is reaching middle age. Installations orbit the Earth, and synthetic intelligences rule the digital. The Forwards have destroyed the Mesh. The Thalassocracy of New Atlantis lies shattered, reeling from multiple atomic strikes. Might the dreams of better times have been nothing more than naïve figments of wishful thinking?
