Ragnarok Highway

The day of ice and fire, that brings in its wake devastation to the world. Dr Robert Graham, noted nuclear physicist, has campaigned hard and long for disarmament. Now his patience is at an end. With an ill-assorted handful of desperate, like-minded 'terrorists', he plans to hold the human race to ransom. His bargaining power is terrifying - nothing short of Ragnarok itself. The world governments must listen - or the countdown to nuclear winter has already begun . . .

Cole has crafted a provocative narrative, a What if? if our feel-good social structure were to "change" abruptly and drastically. How would otherwise successful people in the Petroleum Economy survive in a global upheaval; how might communities develop and evolve in such a time? He challenges the reader to think in ways antithetical to our current paradigm. Using the Old Norse saga of the Fall of the Gods as metaphor, Cole traces the rigors and privations people must endure in a post-Apocalypse world, maintaining cautious optimism for humanity's survival in this story set in the near-future Pacific Northwest.

In a future without limits, humans can manipulate their genetic structure with animal DNA to become whatever they wish to be. Fast, strong, beautiful...or deadly. The only force able to stand against these modified humans is the Agency, where brutal government enforcers are raised from childhood to protect the peace by any means necessary. For Liane, the Agency is the only home she’s ever known. Alongside her Handler, Damian, she fights against those who threaten the country. Dangerous and invaluable due to her super-human abilities, Liane knows nothing of life outside the Agency’s control or the civilians who inhabit the city. Or does she? Why is she haunted by flashes of events that she can’t remember? What is the reason for Damian’s sudden, obsessive surveillance of her? Why is she drawn to the forbidden world beyond the Agency? And who is the man whose face she keeps seeing in her dreams? When Liane searches for answers, she learns that there is more to the past than she knows, and that trust can be the ultimate danger. Because within the clandestine depths of the city, new threats and enemies emerge that could spell ruin for her, Damian, and the Agency. As whispers of the Ragnarok Resolution grow louder, the stage is set for a final confrontation that will determine not only Liane’s survival but that of humanity itself.

Hey, my name is Arie Leach, and I want to take you down a timeline. We are going on a journey from the late eighties into the nineties. This timeline is my perception of what happened to my family, friends, and me when the crack epidemic hit Baltimore City. The timeframe parallels the corner boys and the wiretap phenomenon. This experience is based on a true story and the first of a series. So let's sit down as friends while I narrate my story.

A broken family, racing across worlds to reunite with their stolen daughter. A man so old, angry, and tired that he would rather destroy all of existence than play by its rules. An All-Father so obsessed with his vision of a better world, he would sacrifice anything for its achievement. A race to obtain godhood. An oppressed people on a mission to free themselves from their nightmares and rise up in a conflict foretold by prophecy. An end to The Bleeding Worlds.
