About the author
Wesley Cross
13 books41 followersBorn on a military base in the Far East, Wesley had a rather unusual childhood. While other kids ran around parks and traded toys, the oldest son of an active Air Force officer and a kindergarten teacher spent his early days walking on wings of parked jet fighters and climbing into pilot chairs of strategic bombers.
He first started writing while in grade school, once hijacking a physics lesson to read out loud his science fiction novella to the entire class. He continued to write in college, mostly short pieces until finally, he felt he had some full-length stories that needed to be read by other people.
His wide variety of interests includes photography, which once led to a publication in the Popular Photography magazine, martial arts, music, and, of course, reading and writing.
Wesley moved to New York City in the tumultuous 90s. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and son.

compulsive reading…
The characters were not people I would be rooting for under any circumstances… but I seem to have made an exception. I read the Omnibus: Books 1-3 in record quick time. Lots of characters were unsympathetic, and some made unexplained visits to center stage, but a rollicking romp nonetheless. I look forward to reading the next books.

Disturbing
A great start for the series. It’s the end of the world as we know it with AI and robotics merging and a world run by corporations. The problem is that somehow it seems too real.

Non-stop action
This just doesn't slow down! I'm disappointed that the series isn't completed yet because I have to wait for the next installment.
