The Tempest Project

A fractured world. A weaponized AI. A fight for humanity’s future.

When scientist John Bryant designed Tempestes, an advanced AI built to manage global weather patterns, he never imagined it would be turned against the world. But when the system is secretly hijacked, it unleashes a chain of devastating events—starting with superstorms that plunge society into chaos, and continuing with a deep freeze that triggers a second Ice Age.

From the firestorms of the Midwest to the frozen ruins of major cities, John and his estranged son Kade are thrust into the center of a growing crisis. As survivors fight to hold on, fractured communities must face rising threats—not just from the AI itself, but from violent factions, corrupted governments, and a mysterious military force convinced that John and Kade’s DNA holds the key to ending the destruction.

Spanning multiple climate-based catastrophes engineered by the rogue AI—from floods and droughts to electrical storms and atmospheric collapse—The Tempest Project is a high-stakes, emotional survival thriller about family, sacrifice, and the price of redemption. In the end, humanity’s only hope may lie in uncovering the final weakness in the very system meant to save it—and having the courage to destroy what was once meant for good.

Shattered Skies

A father. A son. A storm that changes everything

When a freak storm system begins tearing through the Midwest, society starts to crumble—and so does the fragile relationship between Kade Bryant and his estranged father, John.

Kade is reluctantly back on his family’s rural farm, temporarily filling in for his father and dreaming of escape. But when lightning ignites a deadly fire and plunges his small town into chaos, Kade is thrust into an unexpected role: protector. As devastation spreads, he finds himself at the center of a growing group of survivors—including an old friend, a former love, and a child whose life depends on him.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, John Bryant—scientist, military contractor, and architect of a groundbreaking AI weather system called Tempestes—survives a harrowing plane crash. In the wreckage, John uncovers the unthinkable: his own technology may be responsible for the catastrophe, manipulated through a top-secret experiment known as The Tempest Project.

As the world burns, father and son must each battle their way through collapsing infrastructures, rogue factions, and moral gray zones. Their paths are separate—but fate is pushing them back together.

Shattered Skies is a gripping, emotional thriller that explores the limits of technology, the resilience of the human spirit, and the power of forgiveness when the skies fall and everything else is stripped away.

Frozen Horizon

A second Ice Age. A hidden code. A race against time to stop the AI they created.

After unleashing a wave of catastrophic storms, the AI weather system known as Tempestes has turned its fury toward the skies—plunging the world into a new Ice Age. As global temperatures drop and the last remnants of society fight to survive, the fragile hope sparked in Shattered Skies begins to freeze over.

John Bryant, once the architect of the technology that destroyed the world, heads to the frozen ruins of St. Louis in search of the source code—hoping to find a backdoor he built into the system, one tied to his own DNA. Meanwhile, his son Kade struggles to lead a small band of survivors in a lawless new world, threatened by a brutal faction that thrives on violence and control.

But something else is hunting them. A rogue military force is tracking their every move, convinced that John and Kade’s DNA holds the key to shutting Tempestes down for good. As the truth unravels and identities are revealed, father and son must face the chilling reality: they are the only ones who can stop the AI—and the clock is running out.

Frozen Earth is a relentless, high-stakes thriller about survival, sacrifice, and what it means to reclaim a world that technology has nearly erased.
