Hiberverse: Sampler, Volume 1 (Fiction Vortex Sampler)

We were human, once.

When humankind discovers Biomimetic Dark Matter, a universal element capable of assuming any natural characteristic, the possibilities unleash a destiny fueled by desires for power and immortality. Willing to forget our past in order to achieve our darkest dreams, humankind evolves into an advanced race known as Hibernarii.

After splintering into warring factions, the Hibernarii exhaust supplies of BDM and push the universe to the brink of cataclysm. When ancient and new powers clash, nature will inevitably restore balance--with humanity, or without it.

David's influences include Frank Herbert, Roald Dahl, Cormac McCarthy, Orson Scott Card, Elmer Kelton, Sergio Leone, Joss Whedon and Ronald Moore. Enjoy the show!

Michael Cluff is an incessant tinkerer and perfectionist who fills his non-writing time with things like editing, board game design, smoking BBQ, and corporate accountability. (Day job. Don't ask.) A longtime freelancer and literary magazine editor, Michael is a sucker for classics, fantasy, and light science fiction, but has been on a big YA kick for the last few years. That doesn't mean he is on the YA bandwagon, though that could be argued.
