Thanks once more to the help of indie booksellers, an unexpected rise to fame and popularity has struck again. The INCE Trilogy by D.S. Kirchen has been silently infiltrating the science fiction and action-thriller readership genres since the release of the first book in November, 2012. The dystopian themes and political intrigue in The INCE Trilogy reveal a completely plausible tale of biotechnology and political power gone bad. Very bad. If put in the hands of the wrong individual, the consequences would be globally dire. But the trilogy is about more than this plot, it’s about the bond the reader will form with the characters – ordinary people with emotional baggage and excessively stable lifestyles – who, in the face of terrible peril, must trust new friends as they confront horrible fears and take dreadful action. And somehow in the midst of all of this, they must accept their plight in this sinister game.
Loyal readers of Book One, Participants of the Project, (#POTP on Twitter) are anxiously awaiting the release of Book Two, Launching the Project, (preview below) slated for mid-August, 2013. Readers beware: these characters will stay with you, long after you put the book down. You’ll wish you could check in on them and see what’s going on while you wait for the next release!
Participants Of The Project, by D.S. Kirchen (Nov/2012)
The Circle of Power is comprised of five friends in their
late twenties who share a common history of having been placed in the
same institution as teenagers. As wards of the state, the Institute
had taken control of their medical care and quite literally saved their
lives. They are a fiercely bonded family that stays in close quarters,
as each struggles to be an individual in his or her own right:
• Dakota is looking for love in all the wrong places.
• Halp is the cynical sex addict who is too smart for his own good.
• Skipper has legitimate mental difficulties resulting from the plate in her head.
• Rafe is the resident romance writer (he's gay, but he writes hetero stories).
• Alfonz is the grounded and sensible one who just wants long term stability.
Things are great until Skipper unknowingly exposes secret information. Now it appears there may have been strings attached to the Human Physiological Upgrades they received from the Institute, which are still in their bodies and still top secret (God forbid any of them ever need medical attention). When their paths cross with another graduate of the Institute, a man named Cary Scott who has no memory of his past, the innumerable unknowns can no longer be denied.
Enter Commander Palmer Resnik of a new agency called the INCE, and the slowly unfolding drama grows rapidly and astronomically into a brutal life or death situation.

Launching The Project, by D.S. Kirchen (coming soon!)
Aside from a fierce drive to be all intelligent in all things
technologically possible via computer, Dakota Craig has little to show
for the past five years of her pointless life. Except that she is no
longer acting like a victim. Now, she's more of a recluse. A very talented computer geek recluse.
Palmer
Resnik commands a Special Operations Agency called the INCE. He is
actively recruiting Dakota for their second team, and is well aware of
her life's horrors. With the help of two of his newer team members and
an informant, the INCE is on the trail of three doctors who ran the
organization called the Institute. And it's no small complication that the Calplass compound that the doctors used in their innovative technologies called Human Physiological Upgrades
has been on the arms market for years now. The rogue physicians have
made some new friends, and they still retain the power to destroy, in
literally explosive
terms, the lives of Dakota and the surviving members of The Circle of Power.

The Final Project, by D.S. Kirchen (coming soon!)
Now that the INCE is on the map, Palmer Resnik has a recent history
of hard won successes that have not come without consequences. He's lost
people, and in his own eyes, has lost face, in the course of his
operations. But the team is stronger than ever, and his newest and
probably most valuable member, Dakota Craig, is only on board to get
those damned doctors before they destroy not only herself and her
friends, but potentially hundreds of innocent bystanders.
The
biggest INCE Op yet lies ahead. Putting the three villainous doctors
down for good would end their plans to create
an army of involutarily self-destructing terrorist pawns. It would also
qualify Palmer's INCE to draw top security contract operations at a
global level, and that's just what he plans to do. They have to succeed,
or the practice of fighting terrorism by terrorizing the terrorists
just may become the newest form of global warfare.
