Now Robert has made his publishing debut with Smashwords in early 2013, with his novel entitled 'The Protean Chamber'. It is the first in a trilogy set within a future world in which the Earth has become a frozen wasteland populated by a remnant humanity struggling to survive against the might of off world political power-players. Two factions have flourished within the safety of far flung colonies, avoiding the mutating effects of a WMD effected Earth. Stumbling into this milieu are the innocent Elixir and Orchid, the products of Secret U.N project developed just prior to the annihilating war that has so effectively destroyed the Earth's surface. Both are an exotic mix of humanoid and reptilian genetic conception; designed to thrive deep below the Earth's oceanic surface and thrive within it's aquatic environment. Together Eli and Orchid struggle to survive and to understand their place in a world so unlike their own.view less
