Humanity's Undoing Series
Volume 1
After a long day defending himself against an Internal Affairs investigation for “unnecessary roughness,” Agent Sandy Frost heads home for chill time with the family. But the cold beers and hot steaks of his dreams never come true. Instead, hours after leaving, he wakes up sedative-woozy, hooded, bound, and locked in the trunk of a speeding car.
In other words, it’s just another Tuesday for Agent Frost.
Jeff Braxton lost control of his video game empire in a hostile takeover. Relegated to the #2 seat, he’s desperate to retake the helm…even if that means a secret collaboration with a shadowy company rife with the stank of dark world underpinnings.
Incongruent worlds collide when the two discover that Jeff’s new business partners and Sandy’s abductors are one and the same: a terrorist organization whose devious plans began a decade ago with the assassination of the president. If they have any hope of stopping the extremists, Jeff and Sandy must expose the cell’s secret history of kidnapping and murder.
With no one to trust and targets on their backs, the unlikely duo is running out of time. If successful, they could derail a conspiracy with tendrils reaching into the highest levels of government. But failure will cost them more than their lives. It could spark an unwinnable war whose raging fury would incinerate all of humanity and ignite the fall of civilization.
Weaving espionage, a thrumming cadence, and detonating tension with sharp-witted comedic deftness, Deek Rhew’s sci-fi thriller, Rise of Osiris, will keep fans of Blake Crouch, Brad Thor, and Nelson DeMille riveted to the very last page.

Humanity's Undoing Series
Volume 2
Having been wrongfully convicted of murder and treason, former Homeland Agent Lincoln Grey has spent years in Torpor—a maximum security virtual reality cryo-prison—where the torturous interrogations are the only relief from the never-ending monotony.
With the help of his old friend—an assassinated POW who returned from the beyond just in time to help—Lincoln succeeds in a desperate plan to escape the unescapable.
But his hard-earned freedom isn’t free.
A new terrorist cell, codename Raven, is turning innocent civilians into bloodthirsty drones. Without warning, a friend, family member, or neighbor can instantly transform into a weaponized agent of evil, propelled to commit as many murderous atrocities as possible before taking themselves out.
Lincoln must use all of his counterterrorism experience to stop the extremists by assisting the same agency that sentenced him to life without parole. But as the former agent is sucked into the typhoon of escalating chaos and death, he realizes that the cost of preventing the most gruesome war the world has ever seen might be higher than even he ever imagined possible.
Thundered with feverish pacing, bone-chilling suspense, and sarcastic wit, Deek Rhew’s Escape From Torpor is the second entry in the full-throttle, near-future Fall of Civilization pre-dystopian thriller series.

After the Fall
Rebellion Series

Rebellion Series
Volume 1
Shai was created for one purpose: to die.
200 years after the fall of civilization, in a world warred to rubble, Shai and her fellow Recollectors—humans built by machines to serve machines—have carved out a simple, pleasant life in their Mazatlán oasis. One of love, surf, and kinship.
Life is far from peaceful though. The Osiris AI controlling the machines is destabilizing, and Shai, with her upgraded genome, is the perfect sacrificial specimen they can use to patch it.
To stop them and save the scant remains of humanity, Shai will have to turn the one thing the bots believe will be their salvation against them: her mind. The genetic epiphany the machines believe to be their salvation might just be the harbinger of their destruction.
After the Fall is an edge-of-your-seat saga that is tenaciously intense but also intimately redefines what it means to be human. This first volume in the Fall of Civilization dystopian series is a shocking futuristic thriller about life-altering choices, intertwined destinies, and how far one woman will go to defeat the very machines who created her.
