Android Revolution is set in a world of the near future; mankind has achieved Utopia. All forms of labor are taken care of by an inexhaustible workforce of androids.

Humanity’s most brilliant robotics scientist is working toward a personal Utopia of his own; to defeat death itself. Just as he’s closer than ever to victory, he runs into a problem. The would-be savior is being stalked by a mentally ill policewoman who’s convinced that androids are plotting to take over the world.


Ultra Violence is a military science fiction novel about a day when technology mutates war into a new form. As usual with war, the future repeats dark aspects of the past.

Although set in a fictitious future, the progress of biomedicine might make it real in our lifetimes. File these weekly chapters as “terrifying dreams.”

Who rules a world gone mad? Why, a madman, of course.

Note: Ultra Violence originally appeared on the Fabius Maximus website as a weekly series. It will be republished here on Reading Junkie in the same fashion, as well as being available in Kindle and paperback.

The Girl with Canvas Wings: Taking Flight

October 1941. In the darkest hour of the Second World War, Premiere Stalin secretly authorized the formation of a women’s air corps; the first officially-sanctioned Soviet female fighting units, and the only female combat aviation regiments in history.

Was a unit of women worth an equivalent unit of men? Was a woman’s input worth the accommodations she needed? Could a woman endure the rigors of combat? Why send women to war at all when there was no shortage of men to turn into soldiers? Why send women at all when there was no shortage of men?

Because the women of One Russia were going to war whether Stalin wanted them to or not.
