"At an era of intemperance in politics, when corruption and subversion ran rampant against democracy, they wanted to put a stop to impunity. Knowing that it'd come to life and death eventually, they jumped the gun on it."This is a work of fiction, and I wish everything was fictional in it... Once upon a time, there was a land where corruption ran rampant amongst politicians, and their misdeeds reflected in dismay and desolation for the people.As a growing government thrived in overreach and overindulgence, the working masses found themselves held hostage and feeling powerless to revert the erosion of their civil rights. Sycophant legislators, bought and paid for, enriched themselves illicitly at the expense of the suffering of their constituents. Their selfish aims had little to do with democracy or the needs of the people, in a disconnect between the aims of political circles and the realities of the general gender. Legislating in self interest, they continuously enacted laws to protect themselves from us, the people.If any of this sounds a little too familiar to you, believe me, it's mere coincidence. "THE NGO" is a political thriller that explores, in an allegorical manner, the issues of authoritarianism, corruption and impunity in the contemporary political scenario. What part do we, the common people, play in such a scenario? What should we do, when the well-oiled governmental machine that we finance via our taxes suddenly runs against us?What to Expect: Diverse, Relatable ProtagonistsCharacter DevelopmentA Thrilling NarrativePolitical Intrigue & Conspiracy TheoriesAuthentic Military & Police ActionTechnical AccuracyAn Allegorical Criticism of Current EventsSociopolitical Critique of Contemporary SocietyGenre: Action & Adventure / Political Thriller / War & Military

In the future, nature has recovered from the abuses of mankind and there is no more war. The world nations are at peace with one another. They have bigger fish to fry, believe you me!More than 50 years after the Zombie Riots and the RSM holocaust, the surviving nations of the world have all migrated to the Polar Regions, where the mutants can't survive. Between latitudes 55° north and 55° south, there is a region known as the "Red Zone", where hordes of zombies and the man-eating mutant monsters that feed on them inhabit ghost cities in the tens and hundreds of thousands.Yet, nowhere in the globe are these man-eating beasts bigger and more vicious than in Africa. Trouble is, that's exactly where Rex Raleigh and the crew & company of the ZRS Gaya chose to go to, though they did have a plan that would see them through unscathed. Little did they know that their successful incursion into South Africa would end up getting them involved in a military rescue operation that could very well turn ugly and claim all their lives.

Collected in this compendium are tales set in the dystopian Commonwealth of Planets universe, at a time when Humanity is still recovering from the ecological cataclysms that nearly ended life on Earth, and when human civilization is but barely done colonizing the Solar System The Commonwealth of Planets is a political institution uniting Earth, the Core Planets and the Colonies of the Jovian and Trans-Neptunian regions. It's advertised as a banner under which Humanity may rally to face the threat of extinction. However, behind this florid image stands the brutal Tudor Regime, governing Earth with an iron fist, to try to dictate the future of Humanity. Leading this dictatorship for nearly than two centuries is the greatest telepath mankind has ever known. Loved by millions, hated by billions, the enigmatic Aeneas Tudor has doubtlessly changed the fate of humankind to rescue it from its own folly, but he has done so with no small measure of ruthlessness.

Super-science, space exploration, alien worlds, genetic engineering and much, much more await your fancy to take form, as we dare to dream together what the future evolution of humankind may bring us.

They couldn't let it go. They should've, but they just couldn't. The unexplained death of their comrade during that last botched-up adventure had pricked at their sense of honor for too long. When the news arrived that their old ship, the Forlorn Glory, had been sinisterly scuttled along with all hands, it was just too much to bear. Something had to be done. Now that they had the opportunity to go back and set the record straight, they couldn't deny themselves that chance of finally reaching some closure. They owed it to themselves. They owed it to their shipmates. Even if it meant braving the zombies and the mutants of the Red Zone. Even if it meant getting involved in government business. Had it been just that, it would've been bad enough, but when Rex Raleigh and his closest friends finally got themselves back into the nightmarish region of the globe, they got much more than they had bargained for. Book 2 in the series, "Revenge of the Raiders" picks up the tale five years after the accounts in "Final Raid". The stakes rise when governments and secret societies cross paths again with the survivors of the crew of the ZRS Forlorn Glory. The would-be avengers suddenly see themselves engulfed in a centennial conspiracy that far exceeds anything they ever anticipated. When the Zone Raiders unexpectedly find themselves neck-deep in a conflict that started well before they were even born, and that promises to endure far beyond their years, what remains to be seen is just how long those years will last.

In the future, nature has recovered from the abuses of mankind and there is no more war. Sounds like heaven, but it really is not, for the price we paid was the end of the world as we knew it. Between latitudes 55° north and 55° south, there is a region known as the "Red Zone", where hordes of zombies inhabit ghost cities in the hundreds of thousands. But there are worse things than zombies lurking in the Red Zone. Mutant creatures have evolved that prey and thrive on the flesh of ghouls. To these beasts, a normal human is as appetising a meal as any zombie. More than 50 years after the Zombie Riots, the surviving nations of the world have all migrated to the Polar Regions, where the mutants can't survive. Trouble is everyone else has trouble surviving there too. Even after 50 years, foodstuffs and other reserves are in relative short supply in the wintery regions of our planet. For that reason, independent adventurer-capitalists venture into the forbidden regions of the globe to seize resources and salvage equipment invaluable to the survival of mankind. They are the Zone Raiders, and young Rex Raleigh has decided he wants to be one. Yet the question remains: did he do it for the right reasons? Book 3 of the series explores Rex Raleigh's very first adventure into the Red Zone, as a trainee surveyor, and explains what made him decide to follow the dangerous career of a Zone Raider.
