Massen
This was as far as Massen could go to escape his old life. The Shatter: all that remains of a moon that had once orbited the system’s fifth planet. A cold, dark and empty place.
A good place to hide proscribed technologies.
The discovery makes Massen a hunted man. Not because of what he knows or has seen, but because of what he is becoming. The technology is changing him. He is slowly becoming more machine than man. A machine able to control not only the machines around him, but people too.
There is someone out there who once destroyed civilisation to keep this technology for themselves. After two thousand years their grip on the system is absolute. They will burn cities and destroy worlds to stop him.
Massen will need an army to challenge them. He will need an army just to stay alive.

About the author
C.P. James
9 books2 followersI grew up in Africa, with a background in Cultural Anthropology and archaeology. Along with a side of police.
My main focus is on creating a rich, diverse universe. Endings are not always good - because that's just life, isn't it? But there might always be a hint of redemption in there somewhere.
I admit to being no good at social media. I wouldn't know what to put into a blog, and I don't presume anyone wants to hear my opinion on anything. So I don't tend to be very active either here or other platforms.
Hopefully my writing stands for itself. I understand that not everything is for everyone, but do hope people find something worthwhile in what I create. Quality is important, as I think a writer should respect the time their readers have invested in reading their work. So I do make every effort to ensure my work is of the highest standard. I do apologise for the odd typo. Oh, I'm a Brit, so I pronounce aluminium as aluminium, and not aluminium.
Sadly, I don't earn a lot from writing (that would be amazing, but unlikely!) so I must work full time. Because of this I don't write as much as I would like.
Thank you for visiting, and hope you find your time here worthwhile.

Not What I Expected
The description and preview held promise for an entertaining story, but the reality left me wanting. Too much of the plot remains nebulous for too long, and couple that vaguely defined worldview with some horrible grammar and no editing and I was left seeking my escape. I managed past the halfway mark, but the continued mostly pointless death and destruction finally drove me out of the book. Nothing I read was entertaining or provided any motivation to read through to the end.
