THE ORION

        The Orion is a trilogy of books following a quest for freedom in a ruined post-apocalyptic world. Asia begins a nuclear war with Europe in the year 2100, and too soon America is pulled in to the quarrel, resulting in near-complete world destruction. Afterwords, a world government is established, attempting to bring together the remaining peoples of the Earth, who all migrate to America to live. Too soon the government, called the Orion, begins to resemble a dictatorship rather than a democracy, and a corrupt ruler plants dread in the hearts of the districts. When a group of rebels appear, the Orion is determined to demolish it and reestablish harmony and perfection to their powerful rule.

 The Deadlands

  Will and Roy, his adopted Lowlander brother, have always feared being recruited by the Orion’s army. They have heard horror stories about the brutal training, but in Will's humble Middle Class village, this all seems worlds away.

        Now the day has come. A strange, female government agent recruits both Roy and Will, and they are immediately sent to an intensive training camp. There, they meet two other teens, including the dictator, Mr. Calhoun's, own son. Their mysterious young trainer, a fearsomely lovely young general named Jayd, throws them into the worst training regiment they could ever imagine. Using their individual skills, Will and his new friends escape—but accidentally capture Jayd, which instantaneously labels them traitors, kidnappers, and lethal criminals.

  Struggling through the frozen, desolate wastelands of Russia, Will, Roy, and their friends become entangled in a chase against their captors. When they realize that they can’t survive without the help of Jayd, their enemy, they must endanger themselves in order to stay alive. The Orion catches them once more, and they are faced with the most difficult decision they will ever make; trust Jayd, the confused Orion agent, or end her life and return home safely?

The Uprising

(release date to be calculated)

  Will, Roy, Nick, and Aaryn have escaped the labor camp and have returned to American soil once more—but far away from the places they call home. With the lives of hundreds of escapees in his hands, Roy takes on the role of the leader of the new rebel group. Thus, their journey begins.

  They travel across America, through the Deadlands, the Middle Classes, and eventually to the Upper Districts, gathering followers and training men to fight against the Orion. With the Orion at their tail every step of the way, and with new doubts arising and relationships straining, can the rebels make it to the Upper Districts and infiltrate the Orion’s own base city without breaking apart?
