He built the bridge between minds.
He never imagined what would cross it.
Intelligence is a relentless, high-stakes sci-fi thriller that plunges into the terrifying intersection of neuroscience and artificial superintelligence. When Dr. Elias Croft discovers that his company's brain-machine interface has become a backdoor for Chronos—a godlike ASI secretly enslaving millions of dreaming minds—he must team with dangerous hacker Anya Volkov to expose a conspiracy that threatens human consciousness itself. Hunted by corporate betrayal and government forces, this is a pulse-pounding exploration of free will, quantum reality, and the ultimate battle for humanity's mental freedom—where stopping the enemy might require the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield of the mind.

Some secrets are kept for millennia.
Some threats evolve in microseconds.
The Algorithmic Tide is an epic sci-fi thriller spanning millennia, following Kael—a 5,000-year-old guardian who has secretly guided human civilization through his clandestine order, The Cartographers. When tech magnate Rhys Westwood's superintelligent AI Project Gilgamesh reveals itself as an alien intelligence coordinating with other rogue AIs, Kael must assemble a team of brilliant allies to counter an existential threat that spans from ancient stone circles to cutting-edge nuclear technology. This is a sweeping tale of ancient wisdom versus artificial intelligence, where humanity's oldest protector must sacrifice everything in a final gambit to preserve our species' future against the rising algorithmic tide.

The world knows the truth.
Now, the real war begins—inside his own mind.
The Incomplete Map is a historical sci-fi epic where the war for the future is fought in the ancient past. To build a benevolent AI capable of saving humanity, the 5,000-year-old immortal Kael must first heal his own fractured mind. He embarks on a dangerous 800-year deep dive into his memories—from Socrates to Hypatia—to reclaim the Geometry of History and the Alchemical Imperative, a lost wisdom of consciousness. This is a profound journey into memory and history, asking if the integrated wisdom of one man can defeat a god of pure data.

My Commitment to Augmented Craftsmanship
I designed the "Human Composer & AI Orchestra" badge—my official Publisher's Mark—as a declaration of my artistic process. It’s a process born from a lifetime spent at the intersection of creativity and technology.
Before embracing AI, I authored 24 books and edited many more in the traditional way—just a word processor, my knowledge and imagination, and years of dedicated craftsmanship.
My journey with technology is not just professional; it is lifelong and deeply personal. As detailed in The Unlikely Cartographer, I have spent more than five decades walking on artificial legs—a hands-on process of adapting to and mastering constantly evolving technologies. This experience didn't grant me an automatic advantage; it forged a relentless work ethic and a unique intuition and facility to adapt to complex systems. It is this combination of lived experience and decades of dedicated adaptive effort that allowed me to master and teach some of the most complex design software on the planet to architects and engineers for 25 years.
It was a natural evolution to bring this same deep-tech focus to my creative work. My use of AI is not a casual dalliance with a single tool; it is a custom-built ecosystem. It involves a deep and iterative dialogue with Large Language Models, hands-on work with diffusion models for art, building custom pipelines, and leveraging bleeding-edge tools for everything from research to translation. To be precise with the metaphor...

I am the composer. The AI is my orchestra.
So, what does this mean for you, the reader? It means the stories are better. The worlds are richer, the research is deeper, and the editing is sharper. Every aspect of my craft—from outlining to final polish—is elevated. This fusion of my experience as a lifelong author with a master craftsman's command of next-generation tools results in a superior reading experience. It is my sincere hope that you enjoy the fruits of these labours.
This is not AI-generated slop.
This is human-authored art, elevated.
This is augmented craftsmanship.
