    About this ebook

    Rebirth.

    A simple notion, turning the mortality of one life into the longevity of many. Pairing a memory implantation with a genetic regrowth process, an individual is granted an opportunity for a second chance. Or a third, or a tenth.

    The creator of this process, Dr. Ian Van Hoffryn, changed the world, and his genius, his legacy lives on generation after generation as he himself is reborn over and over to continue his work. It is such aboard Glass Moon, an orbital station containing the genetic legacy of millions, the accumulated knowledge of ages, and a destructive force capable of shattering the warring surface below.

    However, something is different this time. Though the people aboard the station expect a hero, ready to return and save them in the recent times of crisis, Van Hoffryn is reborn with no memory, no concept of his many lifetimes of accomplishment. As he struggles to grasp the simplest concepts of himself and his new life, answers are sought toward the nature of his condition. With conspiracy and corruption around every corner, Dr. Van Hoffryn will soon discover the terrible truth behind his death and rebirth: one which will forever alter the lives of everyone aboard the station... and the surface below.

      The Room Above

      For a moment, he had no thoughts. Just…observations… A blue hole. No – a window… Crystalline sky swelling through a big square gap in the otherwise plain white wall. He blinked. Was that sky out there? What was in here? Where was ‘here’? He blinked s

      Prey

      Mar 10, 2024

      As I drove slowly toward the mob of angry protestors and my meeting with 200, I thought of 199. The ashes of a once hard man, staring at me with wide eyes that pleaded for hope like a dog begging for treats. I’d somehow found a way to give him that h

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      In my memories of the Scottish hospital, the sky is always blue, though I know that can’t be completely accurate. Summer was waning, and as my friends and I had already experienced, Edinburgh was prone to unpredictable storms. Yet, I can’t think of a
