A trilogy of zany thrillers based in the Seventh Day universe.
Area Zero
If you want something hidden, consider hiding it in plain sight. Unfortunately, stumbling across such a something came close to getting Nathan fired.
An innocent when it came to the discovery, to be sure, but it would nevertheless be fair to say that Nathan wasn’t entirely blameless in the matter, having run roughshod over all manner of military regulations.
Despite the repeated screw-ups, Nathan remains an asset to the auditing firm, Mace Forensics. So, in a last ditch effort to keep him out of trouble, the firm banishes Nathan to a relic of the Cold War, a third-rate air base situated somewhere in the Nevada desert.
Nathan is a forensic accountant, and he is to audit said base until every pencil, and every paperclip has been entered into the ledger.
There he will be safely out of sight, and out of mind.
Bloc Zero
From heroes to zeros—their fall from grace could not have been more spectacular. Caitlin Ells and Nathan Nathan-Nathan had saved Las Vegas from a rogue weapon, but the small matter of a flattened airbase sees the authorities hunt them down nonetheless.
Given the circumstances, they should have ended up in some godforsaken hole, having what they don’t know beaten out of them. Instead they find themselves on something of a grail-trail with a bag full of money and pursued by unseen adversaries.
Their redemption, it seems, lies with Bloc Zero. Discovering where and what it is will test the very nature of their reality to breaking point.
Deus Zero
At times it feels like the world is delivering a steady stream of crazies Henry’s way, an unrelenting conveyer belt of the paranoid and delusional, each with their own angle on how the Book of Revelation is playing out right before them.
They’re all bonkers, of course, though it does seem like there’s been more than usual of late.
But while most of Henry’s patients express their suspicions in a somewhat predictable manner, one has taken matters to a whole new level, building a machine to root out the real from the not real.
The machine is scouring the internet for the subtlest of deep fakes—falsehoods so convincing as to be seen as true, and potent enough to gently herd humanity along some desired path.
Henry’s patient believes that if you turn over enough rocks, you just might find God’s name written there.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happens.
Genre: Science Fiction
