I had obliterated myself in the most irreversible way. It made perfect sense at the time. Irreversible? What was I doing back on Terra? Reality is a funny thing in a universe ruled by dark energy, minds unburdened by souls, and hearts gone missing.
The inquisitor called it the Phantom protocol and said it would restore all that was lost. If only it were that simple. A message arrived from the Warmaster—one word to ignite a war—and I’d become a phantom fighting an unknown foe.
In the dark, distant future, a battle psyker returns from beyond the Veil, upsetting the balance of power on the Emperor's home planet of Terra. Old friends and powerful factions face-off in a deadly game to control an inconceivable threat.

Rory Surtain stepped into the world of independent publishing in 2020 and hasn't been able to find his way out since. When he tires of writing, he edits, and when he tires of that, he publishes. Writing is an art and a long learned skill where each book is better than the last.
Surtain resides in Texas, enjoying the gulf coast clouds, the people, and the diversity of spirits and great cuisine.
As with any indie author, your kind participation and candid reviews are always appreciated.
