about me

Hello and welcome. Name's Matt Williams. I'm a island boy, born in the big city but moved to the West Coast about five years back. I've been writing speculative fiction and sci-fi for almost fifteen years, and as of seven years ago, began to pen things that I considered worthy of sharing. My inspirations are wide and varied and can't possibly be contained within one page, my subjects of interest are history, humanity, science, society and the ties that bind us. I hope you will enjoy what I have to offer here...

Matthew S Williams

An epic futuristic story of suffering, death, and humanity; of how we deal when the universe threatens our very survival!


In the distant future, humanity has expanded to fill every corner of the Solar System. Over 100 billion people live on its many planets, orbital rings and asteroids. In this age of many, it is fast becoming clear that the resources are going to run out! But before that happens, desperate measures need to be taken. Humanity must find new places to go to and new ways to manage what little it has left. But the universe is full of surprises. Between upheaval at home and the possibility of hostile intelligences aboard, humanity will have its hands full! But then again, no one said survival was easy.

 

Data Miners

Matthew S Williams

A group of programmers by day, hackers by night, take a challenge and wind up falling into a conspiracy ten years in the making.


Prad is a member of the DeeMarchy, an elite society of data miners dedicated to finding the patterns in chaos and exposing the lies that permeate our society. Or so he thinks. In reality, he's a second-rate programmer working for a faceless company, obsessed with a woman he can't possibly have. When a mysterious package suddenly throws his life into peril, Prad discovers a treacherous secret ten years in the making. If he can crack the code, he just might be able to save his friends and himself. If not, they'll lose everything: their jobs, their freedom, and even their lives.

 

Liability

Matthew S Williams

A story of crime, disorder, and whats happens when society gives its citizens the right to take matters into their own hands.


They're called hunters. Professional mercenaries licensed to track down, detain and even kill criminals. For years, they have been keeping the peace, patrolling the streets and putting the scum behind bars or in the ground. But after years of success, cracks are beginning to show in the hunters armor. With diminishing crime rates, competition between hunters is getting worse. And now that they are no longer cowering in fear, the people are beginning to demand that the hunters powers be revoked. The hunters should be worried, for in times of chaos, they've been known to thrive. But in times of peace and order, the become a liability!

Comments: -First line: "Our visit to the vet this morning," should be "that morning". -When the mom starts talking to her, you break from the conversation to describe her. I think it would be more effective to give the description first, then have the dialogue between them. Otherwise the reader... view book

Some corrections here, mainly about tense agreements: "this is the first real evidence of such life" should be "this was". Similarly, "her remote station... will be the center..." should be "would be the center". "Commander Park, who usually likes to be cautious, knew that this is just too im... view book
