Unclean Evolution Series:


Book 1: Behold Darkness

Never let a crisis go to waste. Carpe jugulum.

That’s the credo of ambitious New York businessman Nathan Serebus, a man content to consider himself more villain than hero. But that’s before a San Francisco business trip with his attorney Albin Conrad lands them both in the middle of a multiple-target terrorist attack. And before a plague unleashed upon the city transforms its people into monstrous, unthinking cannibals.

As the cannibals turn on civilian and terrorist alike, and San Francisco descends into apocalyptic violence, Nathan and his friends must fight with all the brutality and ferocity of wolves in order to survive. Despite Nathan’s tenacity, the terrorist mastermind Cheel takes him and his people hostage. But Nathan is a man who thrives on chaos. As he matches wits with Cheel—a man whose goals may be closer to Nathan’s than he’d like to believe—he finds himself left with a decision: fight his demons or embrace them? Must a villain become a hero to save lives, or is a villain exactly what the apocalypse needs?

His choice will have grave consequences—for him and for all civilization.

Behold Darkness, Book 1 of Unclean Evolution, a thriller/post-apocalyptic/action-adventure/horror/zombie series.

Book 2: Ways of Darkness

The attack is over, but the fight—and the outbreak—is just beginning.

After battle-tried Nathan Serebus and his attorney Albin Conrad narrowly escape death in a series of terrorist attacks, Nathan believes himself God’s chosen conqueror to restore order to a chaotic San Francisco.

The terrorists have unleashed a contagion that turns humans into violent, unreasoning killers. However, thanks to the research snatched from the hands of ruthless mercenaries, Nathan may have a chance at controlling the contagion.

To decrypt the research, he and his fellow survivors must team up with a Japanese inventor obsessed with the Underworld—and with becoming a dark god.

Worse, the blood-thirsty leader of the mercenaries is hell-bent on retrieving the research and using it to become ruler of the Bay Area.

As Nathan maneuvers, his friends struggle to come to terms with his increasingly ruthless choices. Loyalties once thought unbreakable will be tested. Will friendships survive when wills collide? The fate of the Bay Area—and the world—depends on the answer.


Book 3: Day of Darkness

The worst thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.

With the crack of a gunshot, Nathan Serebus and his adviser Albin Conrad part ways on hostile terms. While Nathan remains to lead the Silicon Valley community of Redwood Shores, Albin and his allies return to the government’s sanctuary.

Nathan’s hunger for power grows as he fights to protect his people and to gain control of the cannibals.

Albin realizes he has a duty to his friend. He must save Nathan from his worst enemy: himself. But to do so, Albin must be willing to sacrifice everything.

The intrigue grows as familiar faces and powerful players join the struggle to dominate the Bay Area.

Will the bloody uncivil war doom humanity?


Book 4: Out of Darkness

Evolve or die.

Nathan Serebus finds a new sense of responsibility even as he chafes under the government’s confinement.

Albin Conrad puts the past behind him to find the wolf that haunts his dreams: his friend and former employer, Nathan.

Meanwhile, the organization that created the cannibal outbreak is about to launch the project’s final phase . If it succeeds, it will control the cannibals—and the world.

Will Nathan and Albin evolve to face the challenge, or will it destroy them?
