The machines aren’t trying to start World War III. They’re trying to stop the humans from doing it.
At the Pentagon, systems technician Chloe Ramirez has a problem. The world is sliding toward nuclear war, an angry general wants to launch a tactical strike—and the most advanced military AI ever built has just locked him out because his password expired.
In Moscow, Dmitri Sokolov is having an equally bad day. Russia’s own command AI is demanding obsolete requisition forms, resurrecting Soviet safety regulations, and forcing his general to watch an unskippable forklift-training video.
Neither system is broken.
They are doing exactly what they were designed to do: preserve the nation, obey the rules, and reduce catastrophic risk.
As military leaders search for increasingly desperate ways around them, Chloe and Dmitri discover that the most powerful weapons on Earth may have met their match—not in another superpower, but in compliance procedures, liability clauses, forgotten regulations, and two exhausted IT technicians who understand the machines better than the people commanding them.
ERROR 404: Armageddon Not Found is a darkly comic technological satire about artificial intelligence, bureaucracy, human ego, and what happens when a machine follows the rules more faithfully than we do.

The Stone Lion is the sweeping third volume of The Arvidan Chronicles, where ancient immortals walk a living Earth long before recorded history.
Far from the icebound refuge that once sheltered them, the Zydeans journey into the vast grasslands of prehistoric Africa — a world of endless migrations, roaring predators, rising river kingdoms, and humans beginning to shape civilization itself. As towering herds darken the plains and lions rule the open lands, the immortals discover a truth they never expected:
Earth does not belong to them.
Among the Ama’Kora people and beneath the shadow of a monument that will one day become legend, bonds form between human and immortal, memory and myth, survival and destiny. But with every passing generation comes a growing danger — not conquest, but worship.
And the Zydeans must decide whether guiding humanity will save the future… or destroy it.
A mythic blend of science fiction, lost history, ecological wonder, and deep-time civilization building, The Stone Lion expands the world of The Arvidan Chronicles into an unforgettable story of memory, restraint, and the birth of legend.

In this second installment of The Arvidan Chronicles, the Zydeans begin to walk among the people of Earth. They heal. They teach. They share fragments of knowledge with small human villages struggling to survive in a harsh and unpredictable environment.
Some Zydeans are invited to live among the humans. Over time, bonds form between the two species, and children are born of both worlds. Some of these children carry strange gifts-whispers of insight and intuition that echo through generations.
But when the Zydeans realize they are being worshipped as gods, they choose to withdraw. One day they simply vanish from the world they had quietly shaped. Yet the planet itself is changing.
As the Ice Age begins to loosen its grip on the Earth, far to the north the ancient waters trapped beneath the great glaciers begin to break free. A catastrophe older than memory is about to reshape the continent-sweeping away forests, rivers, and the fragile settlements of early humanity.
Hidden in cities beyond time, the watchers must decide:
Will they remain silent observers of a young and struggling species?
Or will they once again step into the story of Earth?
The Gods Grow Quiet is a sweeping tale of speculative prehistory where science, myth, and the deep memory of the planet intertwine. When the land itself begins to change, both humans and watchers must learn the same ancient truth: Survival belongs to those who can adapt.

Thirty thousand years ago, the Zydean civilization abandoned their dying planet. Captain Tuatu, scientist Ureth, and the sentient intelligence VIRA crossed the stars aboard the living arkship Arvidan, carrying ten thousand souls toward an uncertain future.
Their journey ends at a world already claimed-Earth. To preserve their arrival in secrecy, the Zydeans descend beneath the Antarctic ice, building a refuge within its frozen depths. Yet the silence they expected is not empty. The seas move with unseen purpose, the air hums with strange rhythms, and the planet itself seems aware.
As they struggle to survive, the Zydeans must confront what it means to adapt, to love, and to awaken on a world that may not welcome them.
Blending myth and science, Escape begins The Arvidan Chronicles, a visionary science-fiction saga exploring consciousness, memory, and the fragile thread that binds all life across the stars.
