Announcing the newest Novel from Timothy Freriks

A Very Fine Line

Data is the world’s fuel, and data runs through a spaghetti plate of fiber optic cables that span the globe on the bottom of every ocean. It’s a simple concept: Control the cables and you control the world’s political and economic systems.

Five unlikely and powerful men become partners in a ruthless plot to do just that, to force their view of the future on the nations of the world. But not all the partners are on the same page.

A brilliant programmer/hacker accidentally discovers the sinister scheme and risks his life and freedom to expose the perpetrators.

He may be the world’s last hope.

DANG: I Never Announced my Coolest New Novel: Object_3783

If you have ever played a shoot-em-up video game you might have wondered if those enemy soldiers had a little digital life. Do they?  Do they have a virtual family waiting at some memory address? What kind of society have they built and live in when we’re not killing them? Are they angry at us? Do they want to get even? And what if they had the tools to do so?

What if the enemy soldiers in your combat video game were real?

They look real. They act real.

But what if the Artificial Intelligence programmers went a step too far then couldn’t take it back?

Brothers: Vengeance

Jason Patterson sets out to avenge the murder of his brother but finds an even more sinister plot unfolding, one that must be stopped.

Jason and Craig Patterson are young philanthropists, brothers who inherited a large family-owned corporation from their father. But the new CEO, Steve Jaggers, is a greedy and selfish opportunist who wants to strip it away and gain personal control of over $120 million in share value.

BANANA – a really short story

Here’s a short–and perhaps odd–story I think you’ll enjoy.

BANANA

 

After all of this time, now I’m trash. No, sorry… I’m garbage. The newspaper I find myself uncomfortably snuggled up to—almost wrapped up in—is trash. He seems proud of that like it’s an important distinction and somehow better than being garbage.  I honestly don’t know the difference, but I respect his right to think that as I also try to be proud of being garbage.

The cherry tomato with whom I share this tight, dark space, seemed to agree with me, but of course, he had to identify with garbage. Inanimate objects are trash, he had said. I’m not. He was awfully wrinkled and squishy at the time—old and maybe senile—so I’m not sure I should trust his perception. A little later, when I tried to get some clarification, I got no response. He must have died.

That fate awaits me as I feel myself turning darker, inside and out. My meat is soft to the point of being called ‘mushy’, and my once beautiful yellow skin is dark brown and, in spots, black already. I have to accept that final decay is inevitable, but I’m not comfortable… Continue reading
