As 2026 started…

And the Land of the Free started looking more and more like a police state, I found myself wondering:

Why is this happening?

How do we get through this?

How does it end?

This trilogy offers an answer to those questions.

The Precipice People

The High States once promised a world where anyone could pursue their dreams. Now a shift in policy morphs those dreams into nightmares.

Ten citizens stand at the breaking point: A boy with a yellow bike whose curiosity makes him a target. A state agent with shifting orders and a conscience that haunts his soul. A mother who’s certain her family’s status means all her loved ones are safe.

The murder of a local woman during a state-sanctioned enforcement action leaves the citizens baffled. Lies replace the truth. Safe zones promise a trap. And public service programs mask a calculated plan to escalate control—and eradicate freedom.

The fate of the citizens’ lives and of their nation stands perilously on a precipice that’s crumbling beneath their feet. Surviving the fall will depend on how each of them answers one question:

When do you say goodbye to a dying way of life?

Experience the first stage of replacing an unraveling world in THE PRECIPICE PEOPLE—a near-future dystopian thriller for fans of 1984 who wish it had ended another way. Book One of The Epoch Rite of Passage Trilogy.
