The Whistle and Testing Ground are now FREE Kindle books

And not just temporarily – they’re PERMANENTLY free Kindle books! Grab your copies now!

Both of these short stories live firmly in the realms of the overarching APEX story that has so far been told over three standalone books (@, NLI-10, Footage) and one sequel (Beyond Footage) over the course of this last year. The shorts tell stories that are happening off in the periphery of the grander tale, and both of them stand alone on their own feet.

First up is The Whistle, which timeline-wise sits in the 10 years between @ and NLI-10.
