Synopsis

Malhutan versus The World - In the near future, global corporations contend for political and economic control of the Global Union, a one-world government. The last opposition to Elite domination is Malhutan, a cooperative society on the Kamchatka peninsula. An epicenter of nonconformity and creativity, only Malhutan’s tightly guarded secret of life extension treatment deters the powerful Elite—but for how long?

The Malhutan Chronicles consists of the following parts, written in a similar format to Dashiell Hammett's "The Dain Curse", i.e. a set of novellas, complete in themselves but together creating the arc for a larger story as well:

The Malhutan Proxy - Devon is a lawyer sent by his firm to represent a wealthy client’s son held by the Malhutan government. How can he represent his client in a society where there are no laws and even the Global Union has no power or influence?

Moonrise Over Malhutan - Devon returns to Malhutan when a mother finds her son’s head along with roses and a Mothers Day card on her front porch. Can he uncover why the student was murdered before the killer strikes again?

State vs The Malhutan Envoy - Devon represents a Malhutan diplomat before the Global Union court, accused of kidnapping and murdering an Elite citizen plus two police officers. When the envoy refuses to cooperate, can Devon discover who or what the diplomat is covering up?

Match Point Malhutan - A world-famous sports celebrity is murdered at the Olympic Games. Devon must prevent a diplomatic crisis when the victim is connected to a Malhutan player. Can he avoid becoming a casualty while identifying the real killer?

The Malhutan Candidate - On the eve of a referendum on the future of Malhutan and the Global Union, Devon must foil an assassination plot against the Malhutan candidate in Mongolia. Will he pay the ultimate price to preserve Malhutan’s existence?
