Prologue: Codewords The prologue of Sector 36, a military sci-fi novel about AI, war, and buried secrets. A gripping excerpt set in a war-torn sector of space where nothing is what it seems.

I finished the first draft of my debut scifi novel, a gritty military sci-fi set in a future where AIs rule the galaxy and human life is expendable.

Excited to finally be able to share some of what I've been cooking with the world!
