Thieves Emporium

A novel of technology, economics, and death in the age of the surveillance state.

What price freedom when government knows all our secrets?

Fawn got to the shelter too late for dinner, so she curled her small family into a dark corner, hoping only for a safe place to sleep.  But a quiet stranger had approached her out of the darkness with a gift.

Now she had a way out of her poverty.  In her hand, she held a ticket to a new world.  One filled with opportunity.  

And danger.

Dare she use it?

Welcome, Fawn, to a place beyond the reach of any government, a world without laws or regulations of any kind.  

Where everyone is free.  

But no one is safe.

Welcome to the New Badlands.

This is the story of a young mother's attempt to survive in a new digital underworld.  Follow her as she becomes a pioneer, a smuggler, a spy, and a freedom-fighter while dodging forces that threaten to destroy the very foundations of the modern nation-state.

The characters in this novel are fictional.  But the technology is real.  So is the place.  It's growing around you, right now.  Like cracks in the armor of the new surveillance state.
 
Read about it while you still can.
