Tripler: Book #1 of the Tripler Trilogy
Three versions of the same person all want to kill you…
In the near future an impossible virus is giving people the ability to summon two identical physical copies of themselves into existence at any time and in any situation – sending them murderously insane as a side-effect. They call the infected 'Triplers'.
Harry Allwear is a specialist tracker working to eradicate the Tripler threat, a disciplined, highly-trained ex-soldier with an impressive kill record. He's also a Tripler himself, kept sane only by experimental medication, nicotine, and an obsession with the music of David Bowie. Distrusted by the boss of his organisation and considered a liability and a wild card by those in power, he's a Tripler hunting others of his kind in order to serve the greater good – and keep his sanity-preserving medication coming.
But when a Tripler bomber wreaks havoc in his home city of London, Harry discovers his tracker colleagues murdered, his organisation devastated, and the doctor who created his medication kidnapped. Out of meds, low on resources, and burning with a desire for payback, Harry learns the startling truth: the Triplers have unified into an army, and are engineering a radical new dawn for the planet Earth.
Harry may be the only one equipped to stop the coming war, but he has a serious problem: his sanity is already slipping away. And the most lethal enemy of all could be one of his own selves…

About the author
Neil Vogler
7 books3 followersBased in Devon, UK, Neil Vogler writes high-octane sci-fi thrillers, offbeat contemporary fiction, and toe-curlingly weird short stories. A former freelance newspaper journalist, Neil's writing was initially recognised in 2012 when one of his short stories was featured on the literature development charity Cyprus Well's inaugural podcast for showcasing the best new writing in the South West UK Region. Numerous book releases have followed since then, and Neil's work has shown up in all kinds of places. A lifelong science fiction and fantasy fan, Neil has contributed articles to the likes of SF Signal and Literature Works, and these days writes for TV/movies/book site Garbage-File and its sister music/arts site Albie Media. On both sites he enthuses about under-loved pieces of work in a column called 'Neil Vogler's Underappreciated'. You can find him on Twitter @NeilVogler.
