'...an addictive read...Dering reaches the same sort of frisson achieved by Dean R. Koontz in depicting common people caught up in monstrous, beyond-belief circumstances...Planetwide casualties and careful pacing open this attention-grabbing SF trilogy.'- Kirkus Reviews
Gold Medal Winner- Readers' Favorite 2022 Book Contest
'Dystopian fiction needs a big idea for how the world has gone to hell, and this book goes to a biblical scale...Utopia Project is a story of survival and quickly takes all limits off the table in order to ensure that readers buckle in for a wild ride. I would certainly recommend this book to any fans of dystopian literature.'- Readers' Favorite 5/5-STAR book review
'Billy Dering is excellent in interweaving intrigue and flashbacks… Also, the story is characterized by suspense and a mighty imagination... I recommend it to lovers of sci-fi stories with suspense, intrigue, and heart-thumping action. It is not a book for the fainthearted readers.'- OnlineBookClub.org, 4/4-STAR book review
An apocalyptic event. A simple gift box from a military father. A stunning connection between and possibly the last hope for humanity.
After America’s controversial presidential election in 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, several decades of escalating civil crises have ensued. The governments of many countries have conspired to develop the ultimate solution for controlling the lives of their citizens. The new society, forged in the secret Utopia Project, provides for all of your needs without cost, promotes recreational group sex, raises offspring without parents and offers a life without stress.
When the project’s true purpose is revealed, a nightmare weapon turns the rest of the world into a mass grave of melted corpses. Inexplicably, not everyone died as planned. On the east coast of America, Sara Hyland and boyfriend Kid Carlson somehow survive. Hunted by the merciless forces of the Utopia Project, a single thread of hope is discovered in a gift box, given to Sara by her military father the night of the destruction. But is it too late to save humanity from extinction?

Billy Dering, author of the award-winning Utopia Project trilogy, grew up on the Jersey Shore, a geographic region now woven into the fabric of his soul. After high school, life led him first to Clemson, South Carolina for college, then to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In the early 1990s, Dering returned home to Ocean County, New Jersey, where he has lived ever since. A CPA and school business administrator by profession, his creative side was cooped up for years until he discovered what would become a life-altering outlet: fiction writing.
Dering is currently developing several new novels, including a time travel thriller. When he isn't writing, Dering enjoys reading science fiction and thriller novels, playing rock 'n' roll riffs on his guitar, watching his Clemson Tiger football team, and basking in the magical ambiance of the ocean. He believes inspiration for storytelling can emerge anywhere, at any time - often in the most unexpected places.
