Aur Child

"A deep and allegorical journey" -SFFAddicts

When a fisherman unwittingly discovers clues about other people wielding great technologies, fear and uncertainty of exposure throw both societies into conflict, and forces a clutch of artificial intelligence stewards to confront their obligations to humanity. As real and virtual worlds collide, so too do the worldviews that have caused a centuries-long stand-off.

Future-primitive Tellurians have enjoyed a peaceful coexistence with nature for centuries after the moment of technological collapse, described in ancient texts as Cloudburst. Only the studied elders are aware of a diaspora virtual civilization who secretly covets their energy ...and their bodies.

Tieri-Na rejects stories she's heard about abductions in the hinterlands. Life in the far north can be harsh, unforgiving. But nature shares her bounties with those who learn her ways. To Tieri, the forest is freedom from the hustle of the village… until the day she too goes missing.

Alai-Tiul longs for answers. Other villagers believe teachings about the perils of technology, yet he can’t help but wonder if there’s more to the old stories. What really happened centuries ago after Cloudburst wiped out everything… and everyone? If that history was so terrible, then why are the ancient wind towers, givers of unlimited energy, revered without question? To his inquiries, the elders reply,

“Meddle not with what we do not understand.”

But Alai does meddle, curious about the past and its people. When he discovers a metal cube in the forest, he exposes a secret. A secret about the world he shouldn’t know, and through his meddling, one that may disrupt the fate of humanity.

Aur Child immerses the reader in a world of hope and uncertainty, where merchant ships sail the winds between future-primitive villages and artificial intelligences harbor the exiles of virtual worlds, and presents a fresh approach to post-apocalyptic Earth, blurring the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, and heroes and villains.

Will you meddle?

Tral

Jeff Miller and Laura Morales are avid Herpers. As enthusiastic members of the local Reno Herpetological Club, they enjoy nothing more than a trip into the desert to observe snakes, lizards, and other reptiles in their wild, natural habitat. With a major Club meet scheduled soon, they have chosen to spend a weekend in the southern Nevada desert, snapping pictures and videos of choice specimens to share at the upcoming meeting.

The dead man they find far into the desert had clearly been bitten by a snake, but that wasn't what killed him. Equally mysterious were some of the items they find on his body. Items that someone doesn't want them to know about, or talk about, which suddenly puts them in great danger.

On foot, out of cell-phone range for any kind of help, they are on their own as they find themselves the object of a serious man hunt, the intentions of their pursuers obvious and deadly. Trying to make their way back to their vehicle before they are discovered and captured results in a deadly encounter that reveals to them just what secrets the dead man was hiding.

As the body count grows, the chances of the pair reaching safety decreases, and only the help of a surprising ally makes it possible for them to have any chance of surviving the ordeal.

The alien who crashed his spaceship is an unknown and potentially dangerous quantity, but he has suffered at the hands of those trying to steal the advanced technology from the downed ship. Can he be trusted to help the Herpers escape, and not become a threat to the Earth later?
