EMMA STARTED out as an AI in control of an underground complex but now she has control of an entire district of a city run by a madwoman. Plots will be hatched, insults thrown, and science done as new factions rise to power and struggle for dominance.
AFTERWORD
When I wrote The Laboratory I wasn’t sure if anyone would enjoy it or not. I was combining a lot of different things from the ideas of dungeon core to superheroes to some of the over the top violence and craziness that seem to be a major theme of my books.
I said if people loved it and wanted more I’d do a sequel and I’m a man of my word. This one comes in a little longer than the first (and the future volumes are going to be longer yet). I have big plans for where to take things, and directions to take this series that I haven’t seen anywhere else. If you stick with this series it will be a wild ride.
The date this publishes is also the one-year anniversary of the publication of my first book, Dungeon Crawl. I wasn’t sure how that one would do either, but because of the success of my Crucible Shard series I was able to quit a day job troubleshooting phones and become a full-time author.
I’m a few days back from Las Vegas where I went to a conference for authors. I got to be surrounded by some truly brilliant people who have been at this a lot longer than I have (and cleaned up at the slots to boot). From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I wouldn’t be here and doing something I love if it weren’t for readers. I hope I bring you a fraction of the joy you’ve brought me.

The Crucible Shard
Liam lives in a world where gamers are held up on a pedestal and their competitions are high entertainment where only the elite get to complaint. When he enters the virtual world himself he finds reality is far weirder than he could ever have anticipated, and when sometimes you think you are the hero you really wind up being the villain. Brutal action, real character development over the series, and many plot-twists.
