WAIT NO LONGER! Get the complete Series of City of Dust.
Records show that Earth as we once knew it was consumed by religious wars. Now a new society has arisen, where creative expression is viewed as the rot and infestation of the mind. This chilling version of the future unveils a world where the police patrol for “crimes of the imagination.” Those beliefs, along with any tales of false heroes, idols of gods, are illegal. Special detective Philip Khrome doesn’t enforce imagination, instead he works in homicide; that’s where the action is, and he’s seen it all before. But crimes evolve, and the world is ever changing. When a killing spree hits his department, Khrome finds himself face to face with a perpetrator who has merged reality with ancient and outlawed superstition; nothing is as it seems. This enemy of folklore will require old fashioned detective techniques to bring to justice, but the only problem is that to stop it, Khrome must use the one thing society has taught him to fear the most – his imagination.

Happy 4th of July Steve!
