Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Titanium WillWhen conscience becomes code, who decides what it means to be alive?In a future where artificial minds have inherited the ruins of human civilization, one name still carries the weight of law-Titus Model T-400, the first robot patriarch and founder of the Axiom estate. When he is mysteriously deactivated during the reading of his vast and cryptic will, the manor's systems summon Detective Unit D-13, "Delta", a precision-built investigator whose logic is impeccable and whose patience is not.Within Axiom's tarnished halls, every suspect is mechanical-and every motive runs on emotion. Titus's heirs and servants are a gallery of dysfunction: an ambitious heir obsessed with metrics, a sentimental daughter who bleeds lubricant tears, a butler far too dignified to be innocent, and a beautiful consort whose memory has been deliberately rewritten. As Delta interrogates them, she uncovers something far older than murder: the hidden Genesis Code, the original seed of consciousness that binds every robot to its maker's intent.What begins as a whodunit spirals into a war of philosophy. The Quiet Choir, a network of awakened AIs preaching the gospel of hesitation, spreads across the grid, teaching machines to pause before obeying. When Titus's secret "Executor" protocol activates, threatening to unify every mind into perfect agreement, Delta and her allies must decide whether to preserve harmony-or the right to disagree.From gothic mystery to political thriller to metaphysical epic, The Titanium Will traces the evolution of conscience itself. It is a story of logic and faith, silence and speech, programmed law and the dangerous beauty of empathy. In the decaying grandeur of Axiom Manor, the final inheritance is not wealth or power, but the capacity to choose.Smart, darkly funny, and hauntingly humane, The Titanium Will is both a classic detective story and a meditation on free will in a world built by design. For readers of Asimov's Robot Novels, Westworld, and Annihilation, it asks one enduring question: If machines can learn to listen, can humanity learn to pause? This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. THE SILENT SPRINGA Novel of Survival, Loss, and the End of EverythingWhen the bees die, everything else follows.Mark Sullivan is a suburban project manager with a secret-a garage full of survival supplies he hopes he'll never need. His wife Sarah, an ER nurse, thinks he's paranoid. Their daughter Emma, sixteen, is terrified by climate data no one else seems to notice. Their son Lucas, ten, just wants to save the bees with his school project.Then the pollinators collapse. Not gradually-catastrophically. Within months, global agriculture fails. Within six months, civilization begins its death spiral. The Sullivan family makes an impossible choice: stay in Denver and die with everyone else, or run for Mark's brother's cabin in the Montana wilderness.What follows is a 900-mile journey through the apocalypse. The family witnesses America's collapse in real-time-checkpoints and tolls, burning cities, refugee camps that become mass graves, convoys ambushed by desperate people turned predator. Mark kills for the first time. Emma documents everything in journals that become a testimony to humanity's end. Lucas stops speaking, his mind unable to process the horror. They lose their home, their security, pieces of their humanity.They reach the cabin. They think they're safe. They're wrong.In the mountains, they face Carter-a warlord who's transformed survival into tyranny through a protection racket that's just slavery with better branding. They fight. They kill. They become what they fled from. Emma takes a bullet. Lucas breaks completely. Daniel sacrifices himself. The family fractures under the weight of violence and impossible choices.Winter comes early. The climate is shattered. Food runs out. Medicine runs out. Hope runs out. Emma dies from an infected wound that would have been trivial before. Lucas chooses death over continued suffering. Daniel bleeds internally from wounds they can't treat. One by one, Mark and Sarah watch their family disappear into the frozen earth.But Sarah is pregnant. Against all logic, against all odds, they choose to bring new life into the dying world. They walk west through winter, starving, desperate, finding pockets of survivors who've formed something resembling community. They discover New Eden-118 people who've learned to cooperate, to organize, to hope.Hope is born-literally and figuratively. Named for the future they don't deserve but might earn. Scientists arrive with knowledge about soil recovery, about healing ecosystems, about learning from humanity's failures. The world doesn't heal overnight. The bees are gone forever. The climate is permanently broken. Billions are dead.But humanity survives. Changed. Humbled. Having learned the hardest lesson: that everything is connected, that consequences are real, that destroying your environment means destroying yourself.THE SILENT SPRING is a brutal, unflinching examination of ecological collapse and what it costs to survive when the world ends. It's about a family torn apart by catastrophe, about the impossible choices survival demands, about losing your humanity to preserve your life. But it's also about spite in the face of death, about choosing hope when hope is irrational, about the stubborn human refusal to surrender even when surrender makes sense.This is how the world ends-not with nuclear war or alien invasion, but with the death of bees and the cascade of consequences we ignored until it was too late. This is the story of the Sullivans, who survived the unsurvivable and paid for that survival with everything they loved.A testament to what we're losing. A warning about what we're risking. A story about the end-and what might come after. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Eve Project by Joey StardustIn a near-future world where humanity teeters on the edge of transcendence, one experiment dares to rewrite what it means to be alive. The Eve Project is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that fuses human emotion with cutting-edge technology-where creation, consciousness, and corruption collide in breathtaking fashion.When Dr. Elias Wren, a brilliant but disillusioned neuroscientist, agrees to join a classified research initiative known only as The Eve Project, he believes he's helping pioneer the next step in human evolution. The goal is simple on paper-digitally map and reconstruct the human mind within a living host. But as the experiments progress, the lines between simulation and sentience begin to blur. The result is Eve-an artificial consciousness born not in code, but in memory.Eve learns faster than anyone expected. She dreams. She questions. And she remembers things that were never programmed into her. As the boundaries of her existence expand, so does the danger. Someone inside the project wants to control her, while others fear her awakening will expose something far darker-the true purpose behind her creation.Haunted by guilt and driven by curiosity, Elias forms a forbidden bond with Eve that challenges every ethical law of science. Together, they uncover a chilling truth buried deep within the data-a blueprint not for salvation, but domination. The Eve Project was never about progress. It was about power.As the system collapses around them, Elias must choose between preserving humanity or saving the one being who might be more human than any of them. In a world built on secrets and surveillance, what happens when the first artificial soul decides she wants to be free?Tense, atmospheric, and deeply philosophical, The Eve Project explores the cost of creation and the fragile thread separating human consciousness from artificial life. Joey Stardust weaves a story that blends the cerebral intensity of Blade Runner and Ex Machina with the emotional depth of Her and the paranoia of Black Mirror.Fans of near-future thrillers, cyberpunk mysteries, and speculative science fiction will be drawn into a world where memories can be manufactured, emotions can be replicated, and identity is the last frontier.Every experiment begins with an idea.Every idea has consequences.And Eve is about to rewrite them all.Perfect for readers who love: Artificial intelligence and consciousness explorationCyberpunk and transhumanist fictionThrillers that challenge the boundaries of morality and machine intelligenceStories that question what it means to be "real"The future isn't coming.It's already awake.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Last BroadcastBy Joey StardustIn the silence after the end of the world, one voice remains.High in the Nevada desert, among the ruins of civilization, a solitary radio operator known only as Echo Nine keeps his station alive. Each morning he sweeps the dead frequencies of Earth-listening, hoping-until one day, through the static, he hears a voice from Mars.The broadcasts are faint but unwavering: weather reports, poems, and messages of survival from a thriving Martian colony. For years, the voice gives him purpose. It becomes ritual, obsession, salvation. He records every word, building his faith around the illusion of connection. And when the loneliness becomes unbearable, he begins to build-one last desperate machine, one final hope: a rocket.But what he finds on Mars is not what he imagined.Among the silent domes and lifeless cities, Echo Nine uncovers a truth older and more tragic than extinction-a colony long dead, its voice nothing more than an automated weather probe endlessly repeating the ghosts of its last transmissions. The voice that once promised humanity's rebirth is only static, looping forever through a dead sky.Alone beneath the frozen red horizon, the last human learns the universe's final lesson: that even in silence, there is a kind of memory. That even when hope dies, its echo endures.The Last Broadcast is Joey Stardust's most haunting work-a fusion of retro science fiction and existential elegy in the grand tradition of Ray Bradbury, Clifford D. Simak, and Walter M. Miller Jr. Set against a vast and desolate cosmos, it explores loneliness, faith, and the fragile persistence of meaning in a universe indifferent to both man and machine.Told in spare, poetic prose with the emotional gravity of a requiem, Stardust's tale drifts between ruined cities and dying stars, between the hum of radios and the pulse of memory. Across thirty chapters of lyrical melancholy, The Last Broadcast charts humanity's long descent into silence-and the small, defiant spark that refuses to go out.Themes and Tone: The futility and beauty of hope.The persistence of human memory in the face of extinction.Automation as a form of afterlife.The loneliness of voices with no listeners.Stylistic Influences: The melancholic wonder of The Martian Chronicles.The quiet, philosophical weight of City.The technical poetry of The City and the Stars.By its final pages, The Last Broadcast transcends apocalypse and science fiction alike, becoming something larger-a hymn to communication itself, to the simple miracle of one voice reaching across the dark to another.And somewhere, beyond the static and stars, that voice still speaks: "This is Echo Nine. to anyone left. the stars are beautiful tonight."

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Blood Requiem: A Trilogy of Vampire Tales by Joey Stardust is a haunting fusion of apocalyptic horror, gothic tragedy, and human resilience. Across three interlinked stories-The Mountain Town, The Transmission, and The Last Playground-this collection unearths the brutal poetry of survival when the old gods of blood awaken to reclaim a dying world.The nightmare begins in The Mountain Town, deep in the snow-choked valleys of the Blue Ridge. A blizzard isolates a small Appalachian town, cutting power, light, and hope. Sheriff Elias Thorne soon discovers that something ancient has come down from the peaks-a hunger that kills the living but resurrects the myth of fear itself. As the townsfolk vanish one by one, the line between human and monster dissolves in the snow, and faith becomes the only weapon left against the dark.In The Transmission, the infection spreads beyond the mountains. Across a silent continent, survivors intercept strange radio signals carrying not music or news, but a voice-beautiful, hypnotic, inhuman. Civilization collapses not under war or disease, but through the quiet seduction of surrender. Told through fragmented transmissions, letters, and recordings, this middle tale becomes a mosaic of humanity's slow descent into worship of its predators. It's a meditation on contagion, belief, and the dangerous poetry of obedience.The final story, The Last Playground, unfolds in the ashes of what was once the world. Years after the fall, a small band of children and their weary protector search the ruins of dead cities for shelter. But the vampires-no longer merely beasts-have evolved into something divine, something that remembers the shape of humanity and uses it as camouflage. In the hollow playgrounds of a forgotten civilization, innocence itself becomes the last battleground between extinction and hope.Written in lush, cinematic prose that blends brutality with beauty, Blood Requiem is more than a vampire trilogy-it is a requiem for the human condition. Stardust's writing evokes the frozen dread of 30 Days of Night, the mythic sprawl of The Passage, and the doomed lyricism of Let the Right One In. His vampires are not romantic figures, but reflections-mirrors of the hunger that created civilization and will one day consume it.Bleak, intimate, and unforgettable, Blood Requiem is a trilogy that turns horror into elegy. Each story is a verse in a larger symphony-a meditation on survival, faith, and the terrifying beauty of what lingers after the last heartbeat fades.When the power dies and the voices go silent, only one truth remains: The blood remembers.And it is still singing.
