FREE PLANET vs WAR WORLD - new website to promote - competing trilogies

Three years in the writing of the six novels of the interconnected Hertzan Chimera trilogies, there's a new website to promote the completed i.e. finished "Free Planet vs War World" dual/duelling novels.

Let the world know, WAR WERE DECLARED.

REAPER (free planet #3) novel now available - You The People series finale.

this weekend is a very special weekend for me, it's the culmination of THREE YEARS of intense and often insane writing effort to resolve the War World vs Free Planet issue.

REAPER (the third and concluding novel in the Free Planet series) has been published by Chimericana Books in ebook, kindle and paperback. All formats should be there by the end of this weekend. In the end, it all went rather smoothly. But one imagine you'll wanna know what happened and who won the war.

I'm not even sure who really won, or if the war was worth fighting, you'll have to judge for yourselves how it went. Is this the end of War World vs Free Planet? It feels like it.

Was the conclusion satisfactory or are there still opportunities for more books in the series? How concerned were you that the two series became intimately interconnected? Will you write back and let me know?

REAPER, back cover blurb:

The first book was Custodians vs You The People. 

The second book was Military vs Civilians. 

In this third book Reaper, the Crystallines and the Organics go at it. 

But who will win and what is really at stake here? 

And what is the VMC? 

And how do our dreams enslave us? 

And what does Free Planet really taste like to the Reaper? 

All will be revealed in this third and final instalment.

today, Friday the 14th June 2013, Free Planet¹ CUSTODIAN has been published on Amazon Kindle (buy now), various other ebook formats (buy now) and paperback format (buy now).

What's Free Planet¹ CUSTODIAN about?

A group of Oxford University's finest minds, the eponymous Custodians, offer mankind a technological 'get out of jail free card' enabling them to slip from under the yoke of Corporate Slavery to THE INDUSTRY. 

Radical elements within the student body engage themselves in the Patent Wars and start a TV show called Natural Lottery that broadcasts to the global Evertainment System, every night, 7-9 p.m., all channels, full spectrum dominance.

You are taken through a physical relocation of your corporate arm of The Industry from Dusseldorf to Oxford. You are 'made redundant' in the most spectacular public fashion and your world starts to (literally) crumble, or pixellate, around you. 

Scene from the Opening Chapter:

Asalah Al Faghori will die tonight and we shall share the moment of her passing so that she can fulfill her promise of a brand-new future so far denied the inhabitants of this cruelly commercial world.

She will die so that you the people can understand Creativity.

She will die so that you the people can translate Passion.

She will die so that you the people can share Kinship.

She's not going to die strapped to a chair receiving four hundred stab wounds from some 'lunatic home invader' like unlucky French biochemists. She's not going to be discovered in some GCHQ safe house, zipped into a locked pink sports bag, decomposed well beyond the few days since her demise. She's not going to be discovered with her wrists slit in the wrong way, undigested paracetamol in her gut and no blood near her corpse in the woods.

And from a Later Chapter:

1) You have to clear a human turd off your desk. Not a toy one. Not some practical joke piece of moulded plastic. This is a real human turd. Someone would have had to squat down, right there on your desk before you got in, to lay this length of steaming brown pipe. You can even see where the anus muscle has crimped off the tail of it, begging like a clever puppy, its front-paw in the air.

2) The email flag pops up cheerily and it's a collection for your funeral. Enough money has already been pledged to buy quite a nice casket. Seriously, that is not right.
