Rubicon
2015
In the undersea colony of Civica, the last descendants of Earth have finally given in to their fears, and civil war is spreading like a virus. Thousands have died and many more are threatened. Captain Jacob Stone and the crew of the Rogue Wave have fled across Civica's protective border, and are attempting a dangerous one-way trip through uncharted waters in search of a new home. Along the way, they will face sabotage, starvation, mutiny, and even the loss of a fellow crewmate. And, finally, they will come face to face with the terror of the deep, the monster of legends, the Novum. This is the 3rd book in the NOVUM series.
#4
Revelation
2016
Far away from the troubles of Civica colony, Jacob Stone thought he had found a new home for his weary crew: a paradise almost too good to be true. But when a vision of something lost but not forgotten makes him leave it all behind, he learns that there are some questions that should never be asked, and some answers that should never be revealed. In this, the next-to-last installment of the 5-book Novum saga, family bonds will be broken, friendships will be torn apart, and crew loyalties will be put to the intimate test. And in the end, a single revelation, if proven true, could foreshadow the end of the human race. REVELATION is the fourth book in the NOVUM series.
#5
Apocalypse
2017
NOVUM: APOCALYPSE is the fifth and final book in the 5-book Novum series, which is now available in one massive (>600 page) volume called "Novum Chronicles" exclusively on Amazon! If you asked the people of Civica what they fear more than the Novum; the mythical ship-eating creature that roams the black water beyond their colony's protective borders, they will tell you it is the Betas; a race of artificial humans created by their ancestors long ago and cast out after the destruction of Earth, the so-called Fall of Man. Now, in the midst of a bloody civil war, those same people have no idea what new danger is fast approaching their colony, and why the return of a small and unassuming cargo sub called the Rogue Wave will either help trigger humanity's final apocalypse, or be the key to its future survival under the sea.
