Dystopian SCI-FI
Where dreamers go when society is unraveling...
Clones are animated to serve the system.
One of them longs for more.
Genetically engineered to be docile and compliant, one clone discovers a flaw within himself. But “62” knows what happens to others when defects are reported. Imperfect clones disappear. The lucky ones have their memories wiped and return to the pod like nothing happened. The rest are never seen again.
1124562 knows he has no choice but to blend in with his brothers. But how long can he survive without anyone discovering his secret?
In this series of hard science fiction novels, a world run by AI demands uniformity. Burdened with a dangerous secret, clone 1124562 stands alone.
Hunt the Dreamers…
Boy 62 has learned to blend in with his brother clones, but he longs for so much more. What if “Outside” still exists? Whatever was there was destroyed long ago, he knows, but he can’t help dreaming. Now time is running out as the Head Machine ruthlessly searches for threats—especially dreamers, those creative thinkers that undermine its power.
62 is in danger of losing himself, and all he holds most dear.
Dire Kepler was born beneath the dark shadow of Mount St. Helens after its eruption. Her ashen arrival in the Pacific Northwest exploded into a life of tall tales and high-stakes adventures. A natural storyteller, Dire began writing novels in her early twenties and never stopped. She has published dozens of novels, novellas, and short stories. Her words are devoured worldwide by readers hungry for a little justice.
Best known for dark psychological thrillers as author D.K. Greene, Dire started writing science fiction early in her career. After years of exploring the sinister side of humanity, she has come back to her dystopian roots with The X-Clone Secrets. With a love of oppressive robotic regimes and casts of defiant characters, Dire is right at home surviving in the chaos of any collapsing dystopia.
When she isn’t writing novels, Dire spends most of her time with family, traveling the western coast of the United States, and consuming other people’s stories.
