Rudy Carlson is a brilliant chemical engineer and the subcontractor of choice for all the East Coast chemical companies. It was common knowledge among the corporate executives for the more complicated projects: if they wanted the job done right, get Rudy, and he never disappointed. Brilliant as he was in the world of chemistry, Rudy was a dismal failure in the realm of love and the sport of fencing. The unusual contract with Dayton Hanover Chemical would change everything when a freak accident in the S-Lab exposed Rudy to a new and powerful pheromone. Suddenly, Rudy finds he is fabulously wealthy while being catapulted from the bottom of the heap in the New York fencing scene to the top of the fencing world. What he never bargained for was that he would also become a sex god, and that was the ultimate price he would have to pay.
SLO-MO MAN II
Rudy was off and running and, in the eyes of the world, was viewed as one of the greatest fencers that ever lived, and his coach, Will Parrish, was helplessly drawn along in the wake of his success. Everything at the S-Lab was soaring through the roof; he had found true love with Tani Baxter, and his fencing center dominated New York City and was poised to go nationally. It seemed to Rudy that money, fame, love, friendship, and success had found a home. However, the voice of his coach rang in his ears with ominous insistency.
“Rude, never forget rule 43… It is the immutable law of three: there is good, quick, and cheap; the law states that you can only have two. Choose wisely.” Coach Will Parrish be always ready to impart a bit of good guidance to his student, Rudy Carlson.
There was only one flaw in this proclivity: he rarely followed his own advice. Both men were aware of the twelve-year-old that lived in the back of their minds, in everyone’s mind. This voice repeated only one phrase in a mobius loop until it faded into the background. No, I am going to do it my way! Will and Rudy were not immune to these immutable certainties. The problem was in the price that would have to be extrapolated for following the insistent demand of this inner voice; neither man would be ready to shell out the cost as the world of payment closed in.
What would happen if there was a man so powerful that he held the world in his hands, had enough, but didn’t give up? Dark Luna is the tale of such a man. Saul Meyers would never have guessed that his decision to leave the planet of his birth would encompass so much more than secretly relocating his corporation to the moon.
All of Saul’s choices, beginning the day he said, “No more,” and choosing Stuart Biggs, the man who would make this impossible dream a reality, would alter the future in ways that would create an unstoppable force that would one day roll over the Solar System.

Sally Hauser, Nova Biggs, and Eros Siminuk all knew that utter destruction of House Rhuaad was the only option. The question of what would be left after the smoke cleared in a solar system ruled by these three women and what cost would be paid prowled in the background.

Rodrick Sinclair’s Technical Guide To Construction, Maintenance And Repair Of Robots
Understanding the true meaning of life would be the least of humankind’s problems in a world where robots are running amuck. When Rodrick Sinclair realizes this, it is too late to stop the wheels he has inadvertently set in motion.
When science reaches the ability to create beings that mimic human emotions, can these constructs truly replace the nurturing love of a mother, a father, or a family?
Envision a future where humans are the last at the table, only to find that artificial intelligence has not only surpassed them but also rendered them no more than insignificant playthings for the powers controlling existence.
How sad it will be when we realize humanity is the architect of its own demise… and that it has always been inevitable.
It has been said that death can be a blessing. How will we accept it at the arbitrary whim of Al?
Rodrick Sinclair’s Guide deals with these stark facts and the myth of free will as an axiom in humanity’s psyche.
The question: What is the sum and value of a person’s life? This is often asked not only by history but by us as we look inward as well as back on the events that have brought us into the now. Some might argue the answer to this query is: not much, while others believe in the fates and serendipity of life and the ability of one person to change the world. In the case of Concetta Elizabeth Ciccarone, both can be said to be true. Her tale spans ninety-four years from the Pepsi Cola factory in Newark, New Jersey, where she was employed as a bottle capper at the age of eight, to the amassing of a fortune. The small boy entrusted into her care is the teller of this tale and the relationship between the two is both adorable and profound as Nana sharpens the child in the ways of lucidity and common sense.
TA Ciccarone, both witness and teller of this tale, is no stranger to the unusual and bizarre.
