THE AZAZEL SYNDROME: BOOK ONE OF THE AZAZEL SERIES
A world on the brink . . . but what savage intelligence lurks behind the chaos?
After a devastating financial collapse, life in the American Homeland is a daily struggle. The new currency depreciates by the day, the food is rationed, and desperate gangs roam the city streets. Hatch Doran and his friends keep their noses above water by brokering antiques around New York City. It was a good business when everyone needed ready cash; now the trade is slowing down.
But Hatch never gives up. Sure, he’s almost broke and short of food, but he’s been in desperate straits before. When he is offered an enormous fee to deliver a prehistoric artifact, he sees his fortunes turning around.
The mysterious and beautiful artifact, however, begins to exercise a strange hold over Hatch, disorienting him, and opening doors to the shattering events of his past. He becomes obsessed, and fears he may be losing his mind.
Thomas Dartham, a retired army colonel, works for the Group, the most powerful and dangerous organization in the world. The Group wants the artifact, and Dartham, a man who does not fail in his duty, intends to get it. But Dartham uncovers a shocking secret about his superiors, and the horrifying hold they have over the entire world.
Hatch doesn’t know about Dartham or the ravenous evil Dartham’s organization has unleashed. He has no idea that he has wandered into a battle of cosmic proportions. And he hasn’t figured out that his life is in grave danger.
Yet.

THE ADRESTIA MANEUVER: BOOK TWO OF THE AZAZEL SERIES
Hatch Doran and the Odysseus team are enjoying a run of good fortune, but clouds are gathering. If Thomas Dartham and the Group discover what really went down in the incinerator, they’ll turn New York City inside-out to have Hatch’s hide.
But Hatch is serene. He’s committed to thwarting the Group’s greatest weapon, a destructive, interdimensional force called Azazel, and he believes otherworldly powers have his back.
His friends think he has lost his mind.
As gangs take to the streets of New York to protest a glitzy social Gala, and innocent people suffer in the labor camps, Helena, the Group’s advanced artificial intelligence, identifies a threat to its own existence. The AI’s conclusions present Dartham with a wrenching dilemma, and lead to an outcome neither he nor Helena could have foreseen.
Meanwhile, Hatch just wanted to finish his father’s work and see Azazel defeated. He never expected his quest to go so wrong or to put his friends in such danger. And he can’t figure out what the Adrestia artifact, the mysterious power that he believes is guiding his actions, is really up to.
Society hangs by a thread, the planet suffers increasing stress, and Hatch has plunged into a deadly cosmic battle which none of the participants intend to lose.
