Synopsis

‘Company Man’ is an exciting sci-fi thriller, that explores potent themes of AI, existence itself, and unrestrained corporate power, with a human story at its core, that of a family divided by the insidious threads of this deftly built dystopian world. In the world of this remarkable and unforgettable novel, life can now be lived out in a digital realm. You may choose a partner who is pliable, programmable. If you aren’t replaced, you might be hanging on by a thread. Living under the Envirodome, the citizens of Municipalis scurry about like ants. The question is, who has their sullied hands on the magnifying glass? The dying sun may still yet proof sufficient to torch from on high. Abram works for the most powerful company on the planet, they hold the keys to the doors of artificial life. Yet despite this power, their avarice and thirst for control knows no bounds. But surely family is sacred, right? A man of cerebral complexity and talents in manipulation must fight for what he holds dear, but will his own demons get in the way. In a world where existence, experiences and memories are ultimately agnostic, a question pervades throughout - what is it that defines life exactly?

    When she needed a champion . . . He raised his sword . . . 
     
     
     
    While besieging an enemy castle, Laird Douglas Hay comes across the half-frozen body of a lass. She's obviously one of the enemy, but he cannot allow her to die. Besides, as his captive, she could bring a hefty ransom. He revives her, a task easier managed than her fiery temper and the intense desire heating his veins. 
     
     
     
    Taken as a prisoner by the brutish warrior, Lady Annora Comyn is determined to make her escape. Secretly, she believes the war between the Comyns and the Bruce is ridiculous, that the vying for the crown should have died the day her royal brother was murdered. Annora struggles internally with the notion of letting men fight their battles or putting herself forward as collateral in a treaty to unite the warring Scots. After all, there are far worse things than having to kiss Laird Hay every day for the rest of her life . . .
