Octagon Trilogy Books

The Dirty Dozen meets The Hunger Games. A group of death row prisoners are given a second chance to live, but first they must survive a futuristic version of hell. What would you do if you discovered that the world you were born into was a complete lie? There is a veneer to this world we live in. A kind of covering, like a mask. If you start to peel back the layers, you will see things that you may not want to see. In the future there is no war, no famine and no poverty. In the future the zombies didn’t come. The apocalypse didn’t happen and no virus wiped-out humanity. In the future the world is good. There is order, minimal crime and a content, well-fed society. Or so it seems…But if everything is so good, so perfect, then why does Jon Kobe, a First Year law enforcement graduate feel that something is not quite right with the world that he lives in? When the tortured body of a young girl is discovered in an alleyway, branded with a symbol meaning Hell, Kobe begins to see the frayed-edge of his world and the horrors that lie beneath. Below the surface of an idyllic society, awaits the sadistic truth where human lives are just fodder for the entertainment of the privileged few. For Kobe to survive, he must find the courage to abandon everything that he believes in and become something that he is not. Octagon is a gripping, page-turning sci-fi thriller and a brutal exploration of true human nature. Every future has a price. But are you willing to pay that price?

FROM BESTSELLING THRILLER AUTHOR, JK ELLEM - An electrifying dystopian thriller The year is 2032. The Octagon engineers have been tasked with creating a new concept, a game to entertain the executive elite and society’s most wealthy and privileged. They were given only three requirements: It must be brutal, it must be fast and there can only be one winner. As a result of their design, the first prototype of the Dominion was born. The test site for the first Dominion is to be the desolate and abandoned Harvard University campus on the banks of the Charles River, a haunting place of crumbling buildings and overgrown courtyards. Sixteen death row inmates have undergone six weeks of intensive combat training and will be the guinea pigs for this first Dominion. There is no escape for them. The site is ringed by a disintegrator fence and they have just two hours to reach the end. But what the engineers didn’t plan for was a woman named Magnolia Gray and she has a completely different game she wants to play… Every nightmare has a beginning.
