In a world where the past resembles a puzzle that no one wants to solve, the truth can be more dangerous than a blade. Welcome to Fragment, my debut novel, where every uncovered secret comes at a high price, and the shadows of history are darker than anyone could have imagined. Set in a future Seattle, this sci-fi crime thriller weaves a tale of dark conspiracies, relentless pursuit, and the indomitable human will in the face of overwhelming danger.

The Story:

The year is 2066, and Seattle is a city where dark secrets and ruthless schemes lurk around every corner. Neele, a young scientist, unwittingly stumbles upon the remnants of a disturbing past, bringing a shocking truth to light. An explosion in Snoqualmie Ridge, once dismissed as a tragic accident, reveals itself to be part of a far-reaching conspiracy. What begins as a desperate search for answers soon turns into a deadly race against time, as the shadows of the past draw menacingly closer.

Meanwhile, detectives Simmons and his partner are confronted with a brutal murder case that leads them deep into the heart of the Japanese district of Amithayus. Caught in a web of betrayal and violence, they find themselves pursued by powerful enemies and must rely on unexpected allies to survive. Every step could be their last.

The Themes:

Fragment explores the dark sides of human ambition, the relentless search for truth, and the moral dilemmas that arise when past and present collide. In this dystopian future, every decision counts, and every action has consequences. The novel challenges readers to think about the nature of power, the cost of knowledge, and the lengths people will go to protect their secrets.

Why Fragment?

This novel is more than just a story—it’s an exploration of a world unsettlingly similar to our own. In Fragment, the lines between right and wrong, truth and lies, are blurred, reflecting the complexity of our modern world. The characters are driven by their pasts, haunted by their choices, and ultimately forced to confront the realities they have long avoided.

Personal Note:

As I release Fragment into the world, I’m eager to hear your thoughts and feedback. Writing this novel has been a journey that challenged me as an author and storyteller. I’m excited to share this world with you and to see how you connect with Neele, Simmons, and the other characters.

Final Thoughts:

I look forward to the feedback from my first readers and appreciate your interest in Fragment. Dive into this thrilling story where every step on fragile ground is perilous, and every decision determines life or death. Your mind will be engaged, your heart will race—Fragment won’t let you go.

Thank you for your support, and enjoy the read!
