Greg Krojac - WTF?

One of them, Paul, is given a specific task – to prevent the recovery of the very first sapient android who has been abandoned on a distant planet.

Like all sophont androids, Paul wishes no harm to any human being, but faces a dilemma when it appears that he may have no choice but to go against Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics if he is to successfully complete his mission.

Judd, a self-employed courier, has always had a cross to bear. He’s a throwback, with the round eyes of his Terran human ancestors, and has suffered discrimination at the hands of the feline-eyed Duoterrans all his life.

His latest package is a personal errand. He must drive through the Corridor, the narrow passage through the desert where temperatures are at least bearable, to Paradise Cove and safely deliver the contents of a small graphene box.

The box is so precious to him that he is willing to protect it with his life, against man and beast, something that he is called upon to do at various times on his journey.

Jerome Cooper and the other five survivors of the apocalypse live like hermits in separate and sealed apartments – their only interaction with each other is through video-chatting via their intranet system. They’ve never seen another human in the flesh; all other humans perished in the apocalypse that they call The Event. This is the life they know. This is the life they’ve always known. This is how life will always be.

One day Jerome hears a noise in his kitchen. He’s terrified that giant cockroaches – the only creature that survives in the toxic wasteland outside – have somehow broken into his apartment. Against his better judgement, he somehow finds the courage to investigate.

What he sees should not – cannot – exist. But it’s there before his very eyes. His world will never be the same again.

A 10-year-old boy enjoys playing with his model train set. He likes to watch the children’s TV programme ‘Crackerjack’. He loves jelly and ice cream. He takes a carving knife from a kitchen drawer.

A stranger tells a reincarnation researcher that he can prove that human reincarnation actually exists. Later, one man is dead with a bullet embedded in his temple and the other is walking back to the car-park.

A man receives a phone call from someone he has never met. But he has met him before. The caller has proof of reincarnation but also a chilling agenda.

A young woman falls in love but she doesn’t know that her lover is the leader of the Illuminati.

Discovering the truth, she finds herself imprisoned r in a draconian government stasis centre, occasionally woken from her enforced hibernation to satisfy his baser urges. Her sister refuses to believe that she is lost forever and sets out to find and rescue her, even though it means neglecting her duty to One Life, the resistance movement that fighting the oppressive Illuminati regime.

An uneasy alliance is forged between One Life and a group of children loyal to the previous Illuminati leader.

The Illuminati appears to have been defeated but a massacre at a children’s birthday party shows that the fight against the tyranny of the New World Order is far from over.

Conflict within One Life’s ranks leads to a disconcerting change of policy and a pogrom against the millions of innocent Recarns who were neither involved in nor supported the Illuminati regime, turning friend against friend and family members against each other.

Finally, a solution is found that will rid the world of its rogue Recarn problem forever, but it comes at a very high price –an unexpected side-effect that proves even more dangerous to the human race than the Illuminati ever were.
