Twilight of the Colossus (Fading Empires Book 1)

Established empires are fading and altered realities embrace a sinister future.

Earth’s remaining governments are completely powerless against emerging megafirms that have taken over nearly everything by virtual reign. These corporate powerhouses are expanding quickly and crushing anyone who brings opposition.

Beneath the cities of the wealthy elites, super gangs are pitted against one another in what has become an intense struggle for territorial power. Day-to-day survival is a major accomplishment for most in the ravaged urban areas.

Ex-black ops warrior, Leonard Kilbane, commands a small band of resistance fighters, but formidable forces against them make it tough for this motley crew to stay together while leading their revolt.

Twilight of the Colossus is the first book in the Fading Empires universe, an epic, multi-part cyberpunk saga. It combines suspense and intrigue with heart-in-mouth action sequences, and nightmarish encounters—all in a near-future setting that could just come to pass. At its core, it’s a riveting and emotional story of friendship against all odds.

“…The fear and determination of Kane’s beleaguered characters jump off the page. Despite the near-total control of the masses, some dare to fight against this oppressive society… every facet of people’s lives remains urgent and compelling throughout. Readers who like action-packed street-punk anime-touched adventure that never stops will enjoy this vivid, unflattering look at what humanity’s capable of.”

                                                         —Publishers Weekly

A real universe is being created here and one that I will follow in any media form it may expand to! I really do think this has the potential to become a blockbuster franchise!”

                                                        —Matt Taff, Emmy Award-winning producer

Festering Abyss
(Fading Empires Book 2)

As empires continue to crumble, Leonard Kilbane’s brave but seemingly outmatched resistance fighters come under increasing assaults by malevolent forces determined to crush them.

The team becomes the target of a massive military force that drives them further into the deadly outlands. There, they encounter an evil presence hidden beneath the sands that causes even their pursuers to hesitate.

Back in civilization, John Hughes and Frank Coletti are on the run after uncovering shadowy alliances that place their very lives in grave danger. A mysterious woman, Iva, helps them evade their enemies as they attempt to navigate the treacherous underworld of 2083 Los Angeles. Hughes’ nemesis LACDF Sergeant Erik Pike leads a merciless manhunt for them.

Meanwhile, Desmond Highmore and his fellow elites plot to further their already dominant positions over society in their twisted game of life and death. What are their ultimate motives?

Festering Abyss is the second book in the Fading Empires universe, an epic, multi-part tech noir saga.
