Sector Zero

Mars was supposed to be a colony. Now its people move as one.

Major Asher Vance drops into a Martian mining uprising with one private objective: bring his brother home. But the colonists aren't rioting. Beneath the red dust, an ancient neural network strips away fear, doubt, and individuality, turning human beings into instruments of collective precision.

Declan is already inside it. Asher's younger brother, an engineer working deep underground, has become a voice for the Lattice. To reach him, Asher needs Dr. Leah Sutton, a xenobiologist who understands the infection, and Nika Voss, a smuggler who knows the colony's hidden routes.

Their path leads onto a train packed with bodies breathing in perfect unison. Above them, the fleet prepares an orbital bombardment. Asher has to get to Declan before command buries the colony. And the intelligence speaking through his brother offers something more dangerous than a threat: a life without pain, if Asher will surrender himself.

Book 1 of The Extinction Vector. A military science fiction thriller of body horror and brotherly loyalty. The story continues.
