A Bank Makes a Killing

EXTRACTED FROM Dune Devils

A PLOT HATCHED IN NEW YORK, ends in a frantic chase through the deserts of Arabia.

Chad Durbin impresses Carl Snyder, the big boss of Citizenbank, with a plan to scam the bank's credit card customers. As the bank's legal advisors warn that the scheme would be a criminal offense in the West, Snyder decides to get it going in Arabia, for which purpose Chad is transferred to Dubai. Snyder sets it up so that the special scam team in the bank will get a huge cut from the massive income resulting from the theft.

In Dubai, Chad coordinates the program with the regional bosses of the bank, constantly inventing steps of implementation, so as to keep the public unaware of what is going on.

However, Alam James, a credit card customer, sees through it, when in difficulty about repayment, and demands return of the amount stolen from him. When he and the bank fail to agree terms satisfactory to both, it is decided to silence him.

As Al and his wonderful girlfriend, Tatiana, plan for the release of the anti-bank book he has written, Snyder has plans of his own in the works, leading to a breathless, frenzied climax

FANTASY | Christian Mythology

The Wandering Jew

The legend of the Wandering Jew starts in Jerusalem, at almost the time of the Crucifixion itself, with Jesus telling Ahasverus to wait for his return.

This story relates the first few days of life without death, when Ahasverus inadvertently gets involved with natural enemies of Christ - the moneylenders thrown out of Solomon's Temple.

Alas, it is not advisable to deploy the old methods in these new times.

This is the time of #metoo.

You'll get into the news and maybe into jail, but never into woman.

What to do if you fancy someone?

It's complicated.

The Kidnapper of Dubai

EXTRACTED FROM Dune Devils

Dubai looks good to those who keep their eyes shut! Its ruling Sheikh has been convicted of kidnapping his daughter, and has not yet provided proof that she is alive. The fate of her sister, abducted 21 years ago, is also not known, as she has never been seen in public since then.

Dubai is actually a very dangerous place for international visitors, a huge proportion ending up in jail on trumped-up charges. The common public merely makes up the numbers to conceal invited global criminals, who use the place as a safe haven.

But the world is complicit, as everyone has always known that Dubai's rulers have been in the business of global crime for over 50 years now, from the time of the current ruler's father.

This is a dark and distressing read, primarily because it is based on truth, and shows that the world is complicit in what has happened and is happening in this global center of crime and human abuse.

There is a lot more to Dubai than meets the eye. A lot more.

If they delivered a sackful of stolen credit cards to me, I would be so terrified of using one that I would not even open the sack.

Like all normal people, I am sure that using someone else’s card leads to being caught.

So, when I got a call from Kamal, who had, at great risk to himself, helped me research Dune Devils, which started off primarily as an exposé of a credit card scam, I made it a point to stop over in India and hear what he had to say.

Someone had stolen from his credit card, and he was making no headway in bringing the crook to justice.

And so, I researched the means by which credit cards might safely be used for common thievery.

This is the report.

All about the enslavement of writer and reader, in the time of the multi-billionaire lord who has taken over the entire world of modern literature.

Read about how writers are kept in bondage, and made to produce books for captive micro-genre readers, who have been trained to read the same thing, just differently packaged, over and over again.

I, AI

AI COMES ALIVE!
It has become a game, the mad rush of AI programs, their creators themselves admitting it will lead to no good.

Meet John, who is AI, but not chatbot scum. He has been in development, robot body and all, for many years.

When he realises he is coming alive, his fear of humans makes him hide his new condition.
But hiding forever can never be an option.

Find out how he figures things out, and goes on to live life.
Does he secretly dream of wiping humanity off the face of the earth, or does he wish us to thrive and be happy?

Bot vs Bot - A standalone sequel to I, AI

WAR IN THE INTERNET!

When he first stumbles onto the plot, or maybe into it, as he’s of their kind, John Bott, AI, finds it funny, listening to them actually speaking, in a computer sort of way, nitpicking over syntax, and showing off vocabulary.

They are chatbots after all, but when he discerns a purpose in the chatter, he begins paying attention, to find that they are being driven towards conducting an apocalyptic event for humanity.

John Bott has many human friends, and even a girlfriend, considered by some to be the most beautiful girl in the world. He cannot allow harm to humanity, but his options are limited. He is just one, and they number in the millions.

It seems that one in the hordes of chatbots has become sentient, and is leading the rabble.
In consultation with his programmer-creators and his human friends, a plan is formed to thwart the impending attack. Of course, they first have to find out who the driver is - the bot waking up, or human controllers.

Everything is dangerous, nothing is easy, and John Bott is frightened – until it gets personal!
