The Daemon Parallel

At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.

Jubal Slate has stopped a madman controlling an undead army and survived the destruction of the aliens responsible for the plague that decimated humanity. Now he leads a small band of survivors across the shattered landscape of America, fighting off the forces of the living and the dead. The group races north pursuing a legend, a post-apocalyptic fairy tale: a town protected from the walking dead.

Tired of the war and his nomadic life, Slate follows the path to Sanctuary, even while doubting its existence. Along a journey filled with hordes of zombies, Slate and his companions face new enemies and find themselves pursued by the final weapon of the vanquished necros. Is sanctuary even possible on a dead Earth? And if so, is the cost more than Jubal Slate is willing to pay?

Even after alien invasion and zombie armies, Slate will discover that the worst horrors are home grown.

"A gripping story of survival. Book of the year contender!"--Evan Roy, Bricks of the Dead

Where can a perpetual outsider find a home when he doesn’t “belong” anywhere? Welcome to the Magitech Lounge.

There’s no place like it on Earth. Or anywhere in the Confederacy of Human Worlds, for that matter. It’s a place where the terminally weird gather to find companionship, friendship, and redemption. Here, magic meets high technology and humanity looks at itself in the mirror of infinite possibilities. Located on a side-street not far from the legendary Haight Street in San Francisco, the Magitech Lounge is a place of wonder for normals and preternaturals alike.

Jack’s an ordinary enough fellow, a former time-traveler with a unique perspective on life. He didn’t set out to make his lounge a place of refuge for the paranormal, but that’s what it’s become. A place where rogue immortals might wander in and the person in the mirror might not be just a reflection.

Welcome to the Magitech Lounge, where being a freak isn’t only accepted, but expected.

“Tales from the Magitech Lounge,” the newest novel from the keyboard of futuristic urban fantasy author Saje Williams, is the first book in his new Infinity: Empire series.
