Collection: Locced and Loaded Ladies and Faded Men Mystery/Suspense/Thriller Series

A city exists within a state, itself situated within a nation, simultaneously isolated and globally connected. The boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. Deception, subtly interwoven with fragments of truth, obscures critical information. The city's inhabitants are pawns in a complex power struggle, their allegiances uncertain. Will the dominant force prevail, or will a surprising outcome emerge? Are some questions inherently unanswerable? The game involves elements of cult activity, manipulation, and widespread instability. How can one effectively participate in a contest with perpetually shifting rules?

The strategic game, Perfect Humans, commences. This chess match involves secrets, deception, hidden motives, stolen identities, and manufactured lineages, all aimed at recreating the ideal Adam and Eve. Two opposing factions strive to achieve human perfection. The Company advocates for individual autonomy, allowing humans to choose their path. The Covenant, conversely, intends to eliminate humanity upon mission completion. The critical challenge lies in the unknown identities of each side's true leader. Pawns are being promoted to rooks and knights, and eliminated by bishops. However, the subtle movements of the queens, silently shifting positions, remain largely unnoticed. If vigilance is not maintained, overlooked pieces may seize control of the Perfect Humans game.
