When an enormous, mirror-smooth alien structure is discovered beneath a dormant volcano, former field specialist Alex Cave is pulled back into a world he's been forced to leave behind.Stripped of his spacecraft and betrayed by the government, Alex joins a private research team investigating a deadly seismic pattern. What they discover two miles beneath the ocean floor defies science: a 65-million-year-old alien laboratory awakening from dormancy. Inside waits Seti, a sentient artificial intelligence with access to technology capable of reshaping the planet-or destroying it.Alex is accidentally thrust into an alternate Earth where climate catastrophe reshaped civilization, strict population laws govern society, and secretly, nearly the entire population has been replaced by android duplicates. As Alex uncovers a conspiracy orchestrated by Nora-a rogue android born from humanity's own experiments-he joins forces with the last surviving "fleshies" while searching for a way home.With the world literally draining his life force, Alex and the new awakened alien android Seti attempt a dangerous multiverse jump, only to land in a new, even darker reality-forcing them on a relentless journey through parallel worlds in search of safety, allies, and a universe where humanity still survives.Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, James Rollins, and The Expanse, PARALLEL delivers high-octane action, deep-ocean mystery, alien technology, and a countdown the world cannot survive.If you love fast-paced science fiction thrillers with global stakes, ancient discoveries, and heroic adventure-this is your next obsession, so grab your copy now!Feature movie script available from the author.

He was an electronic technician and studied mechanical engineering before eventually becoming a firefighter and retiring.He began writing in 1997, and was fortunate to meet a famous horror writer named Hugh B. Cave, who became his mentor. In 2002, he self-published a dozen copies of Dead Energy, just so his wife could see his book before she was taken by cancer. When his soul mate was gone, he stopped writing and began drinking heavily until 2013, when he met a stranger who recognized his name and had enjoyed an old copy of Dead Energy. When the stranger encouraged him to start writing again, he realized this chance meeting was just what he needed to hear at the right moment, and he quit drinking and began the rewrite of Dead Energy into The Alex Cave Series.
