What you need to know before your trail

2013. Our future. Their present. A world decimated by climate catastrophe, where the sun’s heat is deadly and the ocean rises higher every day. A world ruled by the rich, powerful, and corrupt. A world where a good man can’t survive for long.

Hogan Duran was a good man once. He was a cop, forced to resign in disgrace when he couldn’t save his partner from a bullet. Now Hogan lives on the fraying edges of society, serving cruel masters and scavenging trash dumps just to survive.

But after four years of living in poverty, Hogan finally gets a chance to get back on his feet. He’s invited to join the National Security Council, the powerful paramilitary organization responsible for protecting the rich and powerful from the more unsavory elements of society. All he needs to do is pass their deadly entrance exam, and he’ll be rewarded with wealth and opportunity beyond his wildest dreams.

But this ex-cop’s path to redemption won’t be easy. The NSC are hiding something, and as Hogan descends deeper and deeper into their world, he starts to uncover the terrible truth of how the powerful in this new world maintain their power…and just how far they will go to protect their secrets.

In a world gone wrong, can one man actually make a difference, or will he die trying?

Travel Guide

Travel to Los Angeles BookTrail style

Author Clive says:

“I chose Los Angeles as one of the principal locations for Kill Code initially because it’s a city I know well having lived there for over eight years. It’s a city that is recognized worldwide and which has been filmed in many times – so it will be familiar to many of the readers.  It also has great and recognizable disparities of wealth already so setting my story in the near future where the rich have become richer and the poor poorer was that much of a stretch!  It also is a city which borders a large desert, the Mojave.”

Travel to the Mojave Desert

This is actually North America’s driest desert, with a vast, unique landscape known for Joshua trees & Death Valley.

“Deserts are very evocative places with a distinct look and feel that I felt was important to the story. They are locations that many people drop out too to get away from the rat race.  These individuals are often considered misfits and looked down upon by city dwellers.”
