The #1 Amazon series
If you like dark epic fantasy with a sci-fi twist, then you'll love Pearseus.
It's New Year's Eve, the year of 2099, but the distinguished guests aboard the Pearseus won't get to countdown seconds; soon they'll be counting bodies and survivors after the spaceship's crash landing on another planet.
The good news? The planet is seemingly hospitable both in resources and in terms of the natives' attitude towards earthlings.
The bad news? They might have come on this planet bare of possessions, but what they haven't been able to shed are the shortcomings of their human nature. Will that be the sole threat to a unified future, or is the new land and its first inhabitants not as innocent as they look?
The bundle contains the three first books in the series. These span 300 years and examine what happens when a part of humanity is forced to start over. Again.

Is there more to the world than we can see? How far can we trust our senses? What are the consequences of our actions, and is it possible to change them? And if so, would we simply repeat same mistakes, or make new ones?
The anthology includes the following stories:
"Simulation Over": How far can we trust our senses?

Justice without compassion is but tyranny
The series that has reached #1 on Amazon!
In the second book of the Pearseus series, the handful of humans that crash-landed on Pearseus three hundred years ago have by now colonized a large part of the planet, rebuilding their civilization from scratch. In the process, they have created a dystopia for themselves, splitting into three competing factions: the Capital, the Loyalists and the Democracies, all embroiled in endless intrigue and constant warfare.
An uneasy truce between the three parties still holds - barely. While man turns against man, the First, Pearseus' indigenous people, wage their own war against a shadowy enemy; an ancient conflict that threatens to engulf and destroy all of humanity.
Following an unspeakable crime, the men and women of Pearseus struggle to live and love as their world crumbles all around them. But can love be found in the ruins of humanity's civilization?
