Some men keep watch. Steve keeps drones-and regrets.
Tuesday Special - Audiobook | Ebook
Dear Readers,
Sometimes danger doesn’t roar in on a battlefield.
Sometimes it hums quietly above your head—
a flicker of light, a shift in the air—
a signal that the world you knew is already gone.
When The Drone Keeper begins, Steve Glenning is alone in the desert, tending his research drones above an abandoned observatory where water once filled the land beneath his feet.
Now only cracked rock and silence remain—a planet aging faster than anyone will admit.
Steve prefers machines to politics, solitude to crowds.
But the world has other plans.
A strange neighbor with a booming voice hidden inside a small, stone-faced man.
A dome full of growing things and raspberry-scented decontamination spray.
And drones—government, corporate, police—
watching everything,
recording everyone,
and deciding fates no human should control.
When Ms. Adams is arrested by a prison drone and hauled into a decaying underground facility, Steve finds himself tangled in a mess he never meant to share… and drawn into a world where justice is automated, surveillance is absolute, and one wrong move can turn a person into a target.
And sometimes, the only lifeline you have is the lawyer who can negotiate with drones—
or the stranger who offers to protect you while the news crews swarm your home.
This week’s Tuesday Deal is for readers who love near-future stories with high stakes, human grit, and the eerie sense that everything is just a little too plausible.
The auto-code DRONEKEEPER will give you The Drone Keeper for $1.99,
Tuesday through Monday at midnight.
Pour something warm, settle into your quiet place, and step into a world where the machines don’t just listen—
they decide.
Happy reading,
— AR Shaw
