New Release! Megacity - Part 3 of the dystopian Operation Galton trilogy

 

Out Now!

- M E G A C I T Y -

Click for Amazon (universal link)

Sequel to Hope and Wasteland



Operation Galton is named after Frederick Galton, a pioneer of eugenics in the 
late 19th and early 20th centuries; it was he who invented the term

~*~

The UK's new megacities: contented citizens relieved of the financial burden of home ownership, living in eco-friendly communities.  Total surveillance has all but wiped out crime, and biometric sensor implants detect illness before symptoms are apparent.

That's the hype.  Scratch the surface, and darker stories emerge.

Tara is offered the chance to become a princess amongst media influencers—as long as she keeps quiet and does as she's told. 

Aileen uproots to the megacity with some reluctance, but none of her misgivings prepare her for the situation she will face: a mother's worst nightmare. 

Radar has survived gang rule in group homes for the homeless, prison and bereavement, and jumps at the chance to live a 'normal' life.  But at what cost?

For all three, the price of living in a megacity may prove too high.


Megacity is the third and final book in the dystopian Operation Galton trilogy, and is Terry Tyler's twenty-third publication.

'As long as some of us refuse to live as they demand, we are not yet beaten.  That's how we do it.  That's how we win.'

Wasteland is LIVE!


Now available on all Amazon sites:
Click HERE


~ W A S T E L A N D ~
(sequel to HOPE)



'Those who escape 'the system' are left to survive outside society.  The fortunate find places in off-grid communities; the others disappear into the wasteland.'

The year: 2061.  In the new UK megacities, the government watches every move you make.  Speech is no longer free—an 'offensive' word reaching the wrong ear means a social demerit and a hefty fine.  One too many demerits?  Job loss and eviction, with free transport to your nearest community for the homeless: the Hope Villages. 

Rae Farrer is a megacity girl through and through, proud of her educational and career achievements, until a shocking discovery about her birth forces her to question every aspect of life in UK Megacity 12.

On the other side of the supposedly safe megacity walls, a few wastelanders suspect that their freedom cannot last forever...
 



Wasteland is the stand-alone sequel to Hope, and is the second and final book in the Operation Galton series.

Hope is now live!


Hope

On Amazon HERE



'We haven't elected a Prime Minister, we've elected a lifestyle'.

As the fourth decade of the 21st century looms, new PM Guy Morrissey and his fitness guru wife Mona (hashtag MoMo) are hailed as the motivational couple to get the UK #FitForWork, with Mona promising to 'change the BMI of the nation'.  

Lita Stone is an influential blogger and social media addict, who watches as Guy and Mona's policies become increasingly ruthless.  Unemployment and homelessness are out of control. The solution?  Vast new compounds all over the country, to house those who can no longer afford to keep a roof over their heads.

These are the Hope Villages, financed by US corporation Nutricorp.

Lita and her flatmates feel safe in their cosy cyberspace world; unaware of how swiftly bad luck can snowball, they suspect little of the danger that awaits the unfortunate, behind the carefully constructed mirage of Hope. 


Terry Tyler's nineteenth published book is a psychological drama that weaves through the darker side of online life, as the gap between the haves and the have-nots grows ever wider.  Whether or not it will mirror a dystopian world of the future, we will have to wait and see.

LEGACY is live! #NewRelease #PostApocalyptic


The final book of the Project Renova series, LEGACY, is now live on Amazon!  Enjoy - and big thanks to everyone who has stuck with me for the whole series.  Huge thanks.  Really.  😍


Click HERE for universal link.



Book 1: Tipping Point
Book 2: Lindisfarne
Book 3: UK2
Associated, stand-alone short stories: Patient Zero


'Out of all the death and destruction has come the freedom to be who we really are.' 

A hundred years after the world was devastated by the bat fever virus, the UK is a country of agricultural communities where motherhood is seen as the ideal state for a woman, new beliefs have taken over from old religions, and the city of Blackthorn casts a threatening shadow over the north of England.  Legacy travels back in time to link up with the characters from Tipping Point, Lindisfarne and UK2. 

Seventeen-year-old Bree feels stifled by the restrictions of her village community, but finds a kindred spirit in Silas, a lone traveller searching for his roots.  She, too, is looking for answers: the truth behind the mysterious death, forty years earlier, of her grandmother.

In 2050, Phoenix Northam's one wish is to follow in the footsteps of his father, a great leader respected by all who knew him―or so his mother tells him.

In 2029, on a Danish island, Lottie is homesick for Lindisfarne; two years earlier, Alex Verlander and the kingpins of the Renova group believe they have escaped the second outbreak of bat fever just in time...

Book #4 of the Project Renova series rebuilds a broken country with no central government or law, where life is dangerous and people can simply disappear ... but the post-Fall world is also one of possibility, of freedom and hope for the future.
