My name is Joseph, and I have just published my first novel, The Sword. This is a military science fiction thriller, with some influence from the post-cyberpunk genre. The novel is set in a world where humanity is racing an extinction clock - technology has advanced, but mankind has not. The ghosts of a dead AI stalk the net. Failed transhuman supermen wage war against tyrannical regimes. Flying cars, wetware computers, and genetic engineering have allowed humanity to survive the Collapse, but the sins of the past weigh heavy on the foundering societies that have emerged.
When truth and lies collide, and a mission goes tragically wrong, the men and women of the Terran Provisional Authority's Special Operations Command find themselves wedged between the implacable forces of history, and doomed ambitions of dead men. Forced into an alliance of soldiers, spies, hackers, and criminals, this motley band must stand alone against an insurmountable threat.

To fail, is extinction.
The world is dead. Long live the world.
