David Beers

He'll raise the dead, at all costs... Perhaps the smartest man to ever live, Matthew Brand changed the world by twenty-five years old. In his mid-thirties, he still shaped the world as he wanted, until cops gunned down his son on the street. Brand's life changed then. He forgot about bettering Earth and started trying to resurrect his son. Eventually, Brand's mind overpowered even death's mysteries; he discovered how to bring back the dead--he only needed living bodies to make his son's life possible again. Why not use the bodies of those who killed his son? In the largest manhunt the FBI's ever experienced, how do they stop a man who can calculate all the odds and stack them in his favor?

Heretic

Waking Up

A Nightmare

A hotel explodes in Mexico City, and all available evidence points to an American citizen, Alex Valdez, as the terrorist. The FBI is desperate to find the truth before the Mexican government can. Dead Religion follows the trail of FBI agent James Allison, who leaves his family and journeys to Mexico in order to find what secrets lay behind the destroyed hotel and all the lives lost with it. To do that though, Alex Valdez's life must be laid bare-the blood rite his parents left him and the 'God' they felt had been unleashed on the world. Agent Allison races to find the truth in Mexico City, to uncover Valdez's life, before he finds himself face to face with the same terror.

A Novel

Dead Religion

Michael Anderle

Alistair had no choice... ...and now the Commonwealth hunts him. But are they the only threat? When the Rebels escaped through the portal, the planet they chose seemed like the perfect place to hide. Shrouded in flames, with underground caves and passages, Alistair knew it would give them a chance to regroup. He was wrong. What or who is this dark force that hunts them? As Dreadnaughts narrow their search and come closer to the planet called Phoenix, it has become clear that their options are limited. Caught between two threats, Alistar knows only one thing: The Commonwealth never forgets or forgives. What is his next move? You'll love this second installment in The Great Insurrection series, because the stakes have grown and only a brilliant gamble can save them. Get it now.

Warlord Rising

It was a bold move... ...and now he's got a dreadnought. What's Alistair's next move? He's desperate to see Luna again. It might be the only thing keeping Alistair from giving up, because their situation looks grim. As he sits in the Captain's seat, looking out at the vastness of space, he knows what was on its way. The Commonwealth comes to take back what is theirs... ...and to wipe out the rebels for good. How many will they bring? Alistiar was wracking his brain on how to get out of this dangerous spot, and then he got the word. The Primuses had escaped. And they took Thoreaux with them. There's only one place they could have gone. CP36 was in range, but it's not like most planets. This was a haven for crime lords. How will they get Thoreaux back? You'll love this third installment, because this is a dual race against time that may be their last stand. Get it now.

Warlord Conquering

For two decades he served... ...and never questioned the orders. Would one act of mercy cost him? Alistair believed in the work. It was important to stop the rebels for the good of the Commonwealth. Over his career he'd become the greatest Titan the Corp had ever seen. It was a simple mission. Then the rebels said one thing... ...and Alistair's life changed forever. For ten generations his family had ruled. Alexander's 30-years as Emperor had been peaceful, but only because he didn't tolerate dissent. The only thing worse than a rebel was a disloyal Titan. Alistair must die. In a battle of Good vs. Evil, the stakes have never been higher. How will Alistair escape? You'll love this first book in The Great Insurrection series, because this military science fiction will keep you hungry for the next page. Get it now.

Warlord Born

One thousand years in the future, humans no longer rule... In the early twenty-first century, humanity marveled at its greatest creation: Artificial Intelligence. They never foresaw the consequences of such a creation, though... Now, in a world where humans must meet specifications to continue living, a man named Caesar emerges. Different, both in thought and talent, Caesar somehow slipped through the genetic net meant to catch those like him. Eyes are falling on Caesar now, though, and he can no longer hide. The Artificial Intelligence wants him dead, but others want him to lead their revolution… Can one man stand against humanity’s greatest creation? A don’t-miss epic science fiction novel that pits one man fighting for the future of all people!

The Singularity: Heretic

Matthew Brand holds the world in his hand, ready to crush it... The FBI created a plan, a risky one that could slow Brand down, could stop him. Or, if it fails, the plan could just add more bodies to the rising count. Brand's own demons also have a plan: break him. Both his mind and body. Bring him to the ground so that Arthur Morgant, the infamous rapist, returns. For Matthew Brand and the world, the hour glass holds very little sand left. Time has run out. The Devil once dreamed a dream; how will it end?

The Devil's Dream Series #3

The Devil's Dream: Waking Up

In Blue Sky Dream: A Memoir of America’s Fall from Grace, award-winner David Beers offers a powerful, personal vision of the rise and fall of the American middle class. Here is a dazzling literary chronicle of a family, a people, and a nation: the “blue sky tribe” of ever-optimistic middle-class Americans who believed in something called the American Dream, then woke up one day to discover it was gone. Blue Sky Dream is a book incredibly rich in ideas, in ways of seeing the recent past with stunning clarity. David Beers explores issues that define our times—downsizing, middle-class anxiety, the profound anger with government, the sense that something has gone awry with the United States—with such skill, personal immediacy, and compassion that readers will see their own histories in his prose. Blue Sky Dream can rightly be called a communal memoir, because in telling his family’s tale—growing tensions and disillusionment in their suburban paradise, a son rejecting his parents’ values, one sudden and inexplicable moment of violence—Beers tells the story of his people, the blue sky tribe “who imagined ourselves to be living the inevitable future, and are very surprised today to discover we were but a strange and aberrant moment that is now receding into history.”
