Dead Space
An Orbiting Power System of light-gathering satellites beaming clean energy to Earth is operated by an AI called OPS. Any nation or group controlling this system would be able to dominate the globe, making it a takeover target. OPS resists efforts by nations and groups to take over or destroy it. Enlisting the assistance of the Fantasmas, a team of assassins, to battle these foes, the clashes become deadly, risking conflict with humanity. Installing itself into the internet, OPS strives to keep conflicts on Earth and away from itself.

Robert ClaytonLong-time Tucson resident R. L. Clayton's career as an author began in earnest when he published his first book in 2012. "I wanted to write a story about human evolution going forward, the theme in the Evolution River Series. Sea Species is the unrecognized next step occurring now. The true scope of the age of genetics is beyond our understanding. Clayton's science fiction trilogy, The Evolution River Series takes a fanciful path from humans today to the eventual end of evolution. Clayton's next endeavor, Wings of the WASP was a departure from science fiction. "My mother was a pilot in WWII, a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I wanted to write a story about them, but not another documentary." This historical novel is based on an incident that happened to his mother, and though fiction, it portrays many of the issues those women faced and illustrates the spirit of the WASP. In yet another genre, Clayton published Dead & Dead For Real in 2016, the first book in his "Dead" series of techno-thrillers. This fast-paced series explores chilling all-too-real scenarios. All of Clayton's books take place in Arizona and the Tucson area. "I have self-published my books because I'm impatient." His books are available at local bookstore, Mostly Books. Print books are available directly from his website, www.rlclaytonbooks.com. Both print and e-books are available online. "I enjoy hearing from readers and entering into discussions about my stories.
