The only books where you will find these futures are mixed together, is in some short story collections. These are The Owner Trilogy – a dystopian near future – a one-off time-travel book called Cowl, and a few novellas published before I was taken on by Macmillan. ![]() I have also written books outside of the Polity set in other futures, but there are not so many of them.

Machiavellianism and psychopathy aren’t official diagnoses. They may also lack remorse for their actions and empathy for others. Psychopathic behaviors often otherwise appear typical, except the person might use charm and charisma to manipulate others. Machiavellianism is marked by manipulation - a calculating, duplicitous and amoral personality focused on self-interest and personal gain. In the dark triad, these traits are subclinical and don’t qualify for a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) diagnosis. The “dark triad” is a term coined in 2002 by researchers to identify people with personality traits that aren’t diagnosable. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pivotal early-1980s Legion of Super-Heroes stories, set just before the epic “Great Darkness Saga,” are now available in the first volume of an all-new collection!
