In the wake of Arbitrator Jonah Oliver’s interrogation of Jibril Muraz, a prisoner of UNPOL, his secure life disintegrates into one of lies, corruption, conspiracy and murder. Written in the vein of 1984, TAG is an exciting debut from a new author. If you enjoy utopian societies gone wrong, then you need to give TAG a look.

And worse, what if on December 14, your only daughter disappeared into the past in the Mayan jungle? Read MAYAN DECEMBER for an exciting fantasy, time travel adventure!
