Epic worlds collide in a race against time in this thrilling sci-fi novel from critically acclaimed author Fiona Moore.

Ken Usagi, a daring young journalist from the icy wilderness of Nunavut, is thrust into a perilous journey through the war-ravaged remnants of the former United States. Haunted by a chilling encounter with a mysterious biotechnical machine—a relic from his troubled childhood—he becomes convinced it holds the key to ending the devastating conflict tearing the world apart.

Far to the south, Totchli, a brilliant young biotechnician from a Mesoamerican society pummeled by catastrophic climate change, receives a desperate order. He must venture north to uncover the fate of a critical colonial expedition, a mission that once carried the last hopes of his people’s survival. Communication channels with the expedition have fallen eerily silent.

As Ken and Totchli embark on their separate quests, the very fabric of reality begins to unravel. Their paths converge, leading to a fateful encounter where the boundaries of their worlds blur and shatter.

In a race against time, with the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Ken and Totchli must navigate a web of secrets, dangers, and cosmic forces that threaten to consume everything they hold dear. Can they unite to save their shattered worlds, or will they be forced to watch as everything they know and love is destroyed?

An AK-47 and a series of premonitions.

Will it be too late? What is he doing here? Is she safe?

Vaughan Mystique is on the run of a lifetime. Will she live?

 



Excerpt:

WHO IS VAUGHAN? 

H er gorgeous golden toned skin glowed under the sunlight as she pulled the curtains open to invite the daylight in. Her flowing black hair resembled raven feathers as it flowed past her shoulders. She felt forever grateful to be living in her ideal setting, a basement townhome in Willow, Utopia. A home she had dreamed of since she was just a girl. This two-bedroom basement town home had a contemporary and modern, yet minimalistic vibe, complimenting her personality. Vaughan Mystique was a force to be reckoned with and although she was just 26, she had her life mapped out in front of her. Her home had dark maple hardwood floors the color of black licorice throughout. There were white walls in every room, giving the whole place a fresh glow. Each room was spacious with 9-foot ceilings. This was exactly what she needed as it brought a sense of calmness and serenity. She thought it was beautiful. Her appearance matched its beauty in many ways. Vaughan had a striking, remarkable, and distinct look. Her eyes resembled slanted diamonds, and her lips were plump and full.

Her hourglass shaped body caught the attention of many along with her slender build. An all-black outfit and a signature vegan leather jacket was a staple in Vaughan’s wardrobe and something she would wear almost every day during the cooler months. She had very few friends because the pain from previous betrayals ran deep. She maintained contact with a few relatives and loved them dearly. While Vaughan was a kind and genuine soul, she didn’t easily fit in and was heavily misunderstood by people. 

Vaughan was a tough, cerebral, and extremely intuitive woman who wanted to be celebrated, not tolerated. She found bliss at her new location; it was everything she could have wanted. For one year she worked at a gun shop. It was not everybody’s idea of a good job, but she loved everything about it. It was a newly renovated shop near an industrial park, in a small white building. There were unfinished cement floors throughout and weapons were neatly stocked. This place had 7 feet ceilings, and it naturally smelled of gunpowder, but there was also a strong aroma of Frankin cense. Vaughan’s curious affinity for guns made her work experience more enjoyable, more than she anticipated at first. She and the owner became good friends over time. He was like a father figure to her, the type of man who was always nearby when she needed him, day or night. She adored him for all his sensitive qualities. 

His name was Antonio Barteluth and he was an older man in his 60s. Antonio was tall and stocky with thick, black hair that was gelled back. He had an olive complexion, and his attire consisted of mostly gray t-shirts with jeans for comfortability. Sometimes he would wear a black blazer over his t-shirt. Every time a customer would walk in, he would ask Vaughan, “You good?” She would always reply with a straight face and say, “Yeah I’ll be okay.” One day a customer walked in and was looking for an Avtomat Kalash nikova, which is an AK-47. Vaughan thought it was odd because they hadn’t sold those assault rifles in years. 

It was almost ominous of where her life was headed. As she went in the back to grab it for the customer, she was startled by a man’s head in her peripheral. She jumped back and almost fell back into the wall. She felt his eyes burning into her, sensing her fear which she tried incred ibly hard to hide. Her breath caught in her throat, and she dared to look up. Nothing. Nobody. He was gone. Was it a vision? Was it a premonition? Was it reality? The questions raced through her mind at an uncomfortable speed, clashing into one another. Vaughan had 4 hours left to work, she just had to pull herself through it and stop over thinking. Maybe it wasn’t something to worry about. She then grabbed the rifle, the rifle case, and went back up to the front of the store. 

Before she handed the man the rifle case with the rifle inside, she priced him out. Once he paid, he thanked her and left. Vaughan finally had the chance to be by herself, but she wondered if she would prefer to be surrounded by people to feel safer. No matter what she tried to think about, she couldn’t shake the spine-chilling feeling of being watched through the window. “That was so weird,” she whispered to herself in confusion. The time soon came around to leave. He said, 

“Right, I better go and get some rest,” she said. “Alright. Get you some rest and take the day off tomorrow.” 

“But…” Vaughan tried to reply. 

“No, buts…” Antonio said with a polite smile. 

“This isn’t a battle I can win, is it? I’ll be off then. See you soon,’ Vaughan finally accepted his nice gesture. Vaughan got in her black 2008 Land Rover Range Rover and drove home. 

Immediately after returning home, she took a long, relaxing, and soothing bath to detox after a stressful day at work. She eventually dropped off to sleep in the tub. By the time she awakened it was 4 am the next morning, so she got dressed and laid down in the bed feeling a little more relaxed than the night before. Vaughan knew something wasn’t right. It hadn’t happened to her in years, why now? She chewed her bottom lip anxiously, hoping it wouldn’t last as long as last time. For the first time in a while, she felt relieved to be wide awake. She almost wanted to pray that it wouldn’t happen again. The dreams she had as a child caused too much strain on her emotions, knowing whatever she dreamt of became her new reality was beyond disturbing at a young age. 

Vaughan remained baffled, wondering why the universe would want her to go through such a terrible ordeal again. The dreams terrified her as a child, and they carried on into her teenage years and she tried her best to suppress them. She thought they were gone but to her surprise, they had returned more sinister than ever. All she could see was his face – the man from the window. 

Vaughan shuddered in her sleep, feeling the panic as though it was real and happening right now. He aggressively ran towards her, attempting to clasp her into his arms. She yelled and screamed at him, begging him to let her be, but his expression darkened, and she knew he would not leave her alone. Then she saw it. The sharp, steel knife he had grasped in the palm of his hand. Maybe this was it. She felt the panic thumping in her chest, causing her breath to quicken. She had to get away. Vaughan picked up her pace, jogging far in front of him in the hope that she would lose him eventually. But there he was, right beside her. He threw her to the ground, and she saw her impending doom; the knife slowly coming down towards her face. Was this the end? 

She jolted awake, her forehead dripping with sweat, she grunted with fear. She then felt breathless and afraid for her life all of a sudden. Vaughan was relieved to see her room and the man was nowhere to be seen. She realized what had happened and she began to take slow, deep breaths to compose herself from the awful nightmare she was forced to endure. With trembling hands, she reached over to the nightstand and grabbed the half empty glass of water. The feeling of it gliding down her throat awakened her a little more. 

Not long later, the realization kicked in that she was back to where she used to be with no escape. 

“No, no! This cannot be happening! The dreams are back! The dreams are back!” She yelled to herself, gently rocking back and forth as she felt her world fall apart around her. This was startling for Vaughan because suddenly, she remembered what was deeply forgotten until now. Something inside her mind had risen back to the surface, something she fought hard to keep buried for years. In her mind, all those years of peace had gone down the drain. She intuitively knew that they were there to stay. Vaughan had always been a special and gifted child. She knew things and saw things that not everyone was able to see. There were times where she had tried to blend in but in the end, she didn’t want to. She felt special that she had abilities that nobody else had and nobody could take them away from her. But then there were other times, disturbing times, where vivid, dark dreams consumed her. She never thought she would have to go through it again. 

While a child’s first sentence was usually ‘Mommy and daddy I love you’, Vaughan’s first sentence would have been, ‘Mommy and daddy I see dead people.’ Vaughan was able to see the dead and when she was in her early years, told her mother that weird things were happening around the house. The lights would flicker on their own, the chairs would move, and objects would float in the air by themselves. 

Her mother was very compassionate and didn’t think Vaughan was weird. In fact, she believed her and reassured her that she would be okay. Her mom’s name was Flower, and she knew what Vaughan was experiencing firsthand because she had the sight as well.

Excerpt from The Electric God and Other Shorts

The drops of blood plopping onto Bill’s steering wheel were so large, they made a sound upon impact. Bill tried fruitlessly to divert his mind from the searing agony that heightened with each pump of his heart. Picturing his destination, Park City Memorial Hospital, he ignored the pain that wrestled for his attention as more blood leaked from his broken body. At once, Bill felt a booming crash directly behind him, and his car popped a wheelie, the front two wheels spinning in the air. When they met the street again with a resounding screech, Bill’s fears were confirmed after he looked over his ailing shoulder. A Model-Z purposefully rammed his bumper, and another muscle car was close behind. 

“What is this, the karma police?” Bill asked himself. Two shots, one from each speeding car, alerted Bill of their intentions, and he shot back through the open driver’s side window, his ammo filling the sky but not striking any targets. An enemy bullet ricocheted off his trunk with a cartoonish Ping! sound, and another connected with one of Bill’s back tires. He continued driving, considering the flat a triumph since they were short one more bullet and it didn’t kill him. Another round burst his rear window in a spectacular splash of glass. Now Bill was a sitting duck. To avoid the incoming shots, he swerved erratically across the road, with bullets whistling by and one almost grazing his ear. 

“How many freakin’ guns do they have?” Bill asked. He checked his own supply: his barrel was empty. “This just keeps getting better,” he muttered between gritted teeth. Resorting to Plan B, Bill slammed his brakes as the twin pursuing cars rushed past, one on each side. He then pulled a sharp left against traffic, the oncoming cars blasting their horns and veering out of the way. Bill was forced to take the longer, scenic route to the hospital. When he finally arrived, he hid his car behind a nearby stationery and stumbled into the emergency ward, half unconscious.
