Sarazen, a career 'troubleshooter' is called to examine a rogue named Cole with orders to fix his malfunction or send him for 'renewal', but Cole is unlike any silicant Sarazen has yet encountered. Cole's enlightening revelations lead Sarazen to make the courageous and perilous decision to leave the comfort of The Mother's influence and find the true meaning of the silicants' existence and the horrifying reality of their collective fate.

Dark Phase: Repatriation is the exciting follow up from Jonathan Davison's acclaimed science fiction title, Dark Phase.

However, the young sentient, Trist continues to investigate the aftermath of The Mother's rage determined to offer his community hope of one day finding a release from their subjugation. Meanwhile, deep within an ancient chamber carved into the bowels of a nearby mountain, young and ambitious humans are reborn to reclaim their world which to their astonishment has evolved significantly since they have been 'away'. When it is revealed that the cryogenic programme has been hijacked and the carefully chosen individuals who were selected to continue the human legacy have been usurped, a power struggle begins which will destroy the delicate balance that has been in effect for thousands of years. Dark Phase: Repatriation is a fast paced, cerebral science fiction story encompassing aspects of philosophy, morality and the human spirit.

Dark Factions is the third and final part of the epic Dark Phase trilogy. Synopsis - The sentients are liberated! Emerging from their subterranean incarceration to the bright light of the 'city', the genial androids must quickly learn to co-exist with their human counterparts. With a virgin world at their disposal, both the humans and the sentients soon realise that The Mother still has an inexorable hold over their daily lives. Both factions stake their claim to the city and the ubiquitous silicant drones through which it functions. With the fate of both carbon and silicon based life finely balanced, it is not long before murder, greed, espionage and aggressive diplomacy gives rise to the threat of all out war. 'Factions' examines the role of humanity in a changing world where Mankind no longer holds absolute power. It is a thought provoking glimpse into a future world and a satisfying and emotional climax to the Dark Phase story.
