about me

I am a novelist who explores the flaws in established religious stories in an attempt to understand them. I hold an MA in Creative Writing from MMU, and have a small number of published poems and short stories to my name.
If you read my work I will always read you back.

When Both Sides Surrender

Scott Devon

We gave weapons a sense of morality to keep us safe. Now our enemy is growing their own bullets and nothing is safe.



Organics have changed the world. Self-aware weapons grown from seed and given a moral code to protect the innocent. A perfect system of control keeps the weapons safe, or so we thought.

For now, somewhere in the city, new bullets are being grown beyond our control. Bullets that believe that we are guilty as charged. So when the first body is found Special Agent Peterson is given forty-eight hours to find this new bullet farm and shut it down. But Peterson doesn’t know that he has just become involved in war far larger than anything he can imagine. For Peterson soon realises that this new enemy has permeated everything, law enforcement: government and perhaps even his own family.

Who can be trusted? Who is what they seem? Peterson must answer these and many more questions as he struggles to find and stop a man who wishes to break the back of God himself. For if Peterson fails then none of us will survive, and God will be only a memory.

Yes, this shows signs of talent and writing craft. I found the first prologue hard to get into, but when you time shifted to chapter one l found it more engaging. I doubt l can cover any points which haven't been already mentioned nelow, but l was struck by the use of a potential death in your openi... view book

I like the idea behind this, using one of the ancient south american religions, which drew their power from death and darkness and unleashing it upon 'safe' modern day america. Obviously, that has been done before but l still think it is a great concept of south meets north. In this tory your protag... view book

SF 42 This is an interesting jigsaw template. I always admire writers who drop the standard linear approach in favour of something else. It is always very difficult to pull off, and requires much more skill and attention to detail. I did enjoy reading your individual chapters, they are well written... view book

SF42 This is a nice idea. Seems to be a fusion of other ideas, morphing, liquid terminators, etc, but you have made the idea here your own, which is cool. Your prologue reminds me of a voice over at the start of a movie, ot sure if that works for me. I know this is book two in the series, but you e... view book
