Unholy Domain (Mystery & Thrillers)
description: It's 2022, a decade after a devastating computer virus was unleashed upon
America and the world. Civilization has crumbled in an economic collapse
that rivals the Great Depression of the previous century.
During this harsh
decade, the schism between those who think technology will save the world
and those who believe it to be the tool of Lucifer has reached a boiling
point. The Church of Natural Humans, led by the charismatic Adam Jordan, is
determined to roll civilization back to a pre-computer era. Billionaire
Dianne Morgan leads the Domain, a secret society of technologists developing
Sentinel, an artificial intelligence with the ability to seize control of
the Internet and all other computers.
David Brown, a gifted but troubled young man, receives a delayed email from
his long dead father. The world believes David's father unleashed the
horrific computer virus, but the email suggests that his father was on the
trail of the real criminals. David sets out on a mission to clear his
father's name and find his murderers.
As he tracks through his father's
startling history, David stumbles into the war between the Domain and the
Church of Natural Humans. Hunted by both organizations, David unravels his
father's secrets, comes to terms with his own life, falls in love with a
woman from his father's past, and discovers a genetic capability within
himself that may change the path of human evolution.

PeaceMaker: A Thriller (Mystery & Thrillers)
description: PeaceMaker, a start-at-a-dead-run science fiction thriller, is set in 2012, where software revolutionaries are pushing artificial intelligence to the brink of terrorism.
The prologue plunges software architect Ray Brown into a life-or-death contest with PeaceMaker, a deadly artificial intelligence that has infected most of the world’s computing devices. Ray's determination to eliminate PeaceMaker leads him into a dangerous conflict with the Domain – a clandestine organization dedicated to a new world order.
Humiliated by the federal government in an anti-trust trial that has torn apart her software company, CEO Dianne Morgan is obsessed with a plan to unleash PeaceMaker and shut down computer systems across the world. She is determined to crush the global economy unless the nations of the world agree to share power with the Domain.
Although Dianne and Ray have never resolved a long simmering passion, she must hunt him down before he terminates PeaceMaker. As the Domain hunts Ray, Dianne learns of a mysterious third force that has discovered PeaceMaker and plans to attack the Domain. Dianne, Ray and this third force struggle for control, but PeaceMaker has its own plans.
PeaceMaker is based upon my experience in senior management positions with Microsoft and other high-tech companies, where I gained insights into the amazing variety of people who build advanced technologies. Although PeaceMaker is fiction, the characters have the ring of truth and the technology reflects research well underway in corporate and university laboratories.
