Requirements: ePUB Reader | 1.1 Mb
Overview: JAMES O’NEAL is a native Floridian who spent his youth exploring the ever-shrinking wild areas of his home state. The changes he’s seen over the past four decades pushed him to write this series of novels set in the near future of Florida. He is a lifelong fan of science fiction and has read widely, from Robert Heinlein and Philip Jose Farmer to his contemporary favorites, Harry Turtledove and John Scalzi. After a visit to Seattle’s Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, O’Neal started his first science fiction novel, The Human Disguise. O’Neal currently lives on a quiet lake in Florida with his wife and children. He spends his free time windsurfing, running, and diving in the warm waters of the Atlantic.

01. The Human Disguise (June 2009): The world has been shattered. Disease and war have ravaged the Earth. A resurgent Germany once again threatens Europe, and the United States is engaged in the Middle-East while New York sits, an empty, radioactive ruin. The city of Miami has become a virtual prison, home to the worst life has to offer.

Tom Wilner lives on the outskirts of this forsaken realm. He is what this future passes off as a police officer. With his family shattered, Wilner is just a pale version of the police hero he once was. When a chance encounter in a rundown roadhouse erupts in violence, Wilner is forced to step in.

His exploration into the violence of that evening leads him onto the path of two ancient warring races. They have been manipulating power and control on Earth for centuries, and are about to enter into a battle for ultimate supremacy. Unless Tom Wilner puts an end to their fury.

"This near-future page-turner debut amalgamates apocalyptic science fiction, police procedural, and thematic dashes of alien invasion and vampire mythos… [O’Neal’s] self-assured, hard-edged writing style, solid characters, and wildly entertaining thriller plot will keep readers enthralled." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

02. The Double Human (June 2010): The explosive sequel to The Human Disguise, The Double Human is an-action packed police thriller set in post-apocalyptic Florida.

Tom Wilner is a cop. At least what passes for a cop in this shattered world. Plague and nuclear war have left most of the United States uninhabitable. Many have fled to safer zones, forcing what’s left of the government to wall off cities in an attempt to control mass migration. The city of Miami is just one of these contained prison states. Bit it’s the outskirts of this forsaken realm that Tom Wilner calls home.

Amid this chaos, Wilner stumbles into the path of a wild and brutal adversary. Forced to go undercover in the most frightfully ravaged corners of the Miami Quarantine Zone, Wilner uncovers something he hasn’t seen in decades...a serial killer. But this killer’s path is not like any other; he has been active for nearly fifty years without any repercussions. People call him “the Vampire.” Indeed, this serial killer is not human... and neither are his victims.

"This enticing sequel blends elements of post-apocalyptic science fiction and police procedural thrillers in a near-future Miami that has been turned into a lawless "Quarantine Zone" by numerous terrorist attacks, rapid climate change, and disease. Barely-explored subplots related to an approaching space ship and the godlike humanoids already living on earth will have readers anxiously awaiting the next installment of this audaciously entertaining SF series." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
