Synopsis

The rules are a lie. The system is a prison. She is the only way out.

Sarah wakes up trapped in a sterile hospital with no memory of her past. A mysterious voice in her head-"The Guide"-tells her the world is a simulation, a high-stakes training ground run by an unknown "system." When reality starts to break down into cascades of green code, Sarah discovers a terrifying truth: the glitches are her only weapon.

As she forces her way through an artificial city and into the heart of a physical underground bunker, Sarah must master her ability to corrupt reality. The final confrontation isn't just with a powerful AI, but with the monstrous truth behind the simulation itself. The last humans are in a race against time to save their world, and the only person who can help them is the anomaly who knows how to break the rules.

The Off-Grid Simulation is a fast-paced science fiction thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Marcus Andrews

Marcus Andrews is an author dedicated to exploring the intersection of identity, resilience, and romance through contemporary LGBTQ+ fiction. His work often centers on queer joy and the complexities of finding one's "chosen family" in the modern world.

A proud resident of Detroit, Michigan, Marcus draws deep inspiration from the city's storied architecture and the tenacious spirit of its communities.

Marcus is an active participant in the vibrant Southeast Michigan literary scene, frequently engaging with local organizations like Affirmations and LGBT Detroit to advocate for queer voices in publishing. He believes that every person deserves to see themselves as the hero of their own story, a mission that drives every page he writes.
