Earth in 2040 is being remade by Shiva, the first evolving cyborg, who has no use for human in his grand plans. Nations are dissolved and the natural order of life is forever broken. The elites have fled to the space stations of High Wire far above the planet. They are determined to drain earth's resources before their final departures into deep space. Survivors on earth are making a last ditch effort to prevent their own extinction. A cult of Highwaymen takes to the roads and byways to oppose Shiva and High Wire. Earth and near space have become battlegrounds with no quarter given. The outcome of this titanic struggle shall decide humanity's fate. Will mankind endure in a tilted world of AI inspired chaos or become the last of a rare species?
Excerpt from Rare Species
​
Highwayman Dante Allegro sat quietly in the car, resting, waiting for the signal pole lights to begin a slow change from ruby red to canary yellow to shamrock green. The second door of the garage opened out and served as part of a double-door entry system of security. It opened to the slithering sounds of rolling chains on greased tracks. The sliding door behind him clanged shut. Ahead he could see the asphalt apron used to direct vehicles out onto the thoroughfare. On all visible sides of the apron, ramshackle buildings remained as testimony to the power of fear. No signs of human life. No sounds of any type of life, just a blanket of silence that seemed to envelop the once bustling city of Cape Town, South Africa.
