The world of Totallyon is one decades in the future, where nuclear war has long since occurred, separating the peoples of the world. Totallyon is a Gene-Drone, the Captain of a nuclear powered train, a global military machine that circuits the earth to destroy Old World Terrestrials (OWTS) that live in the toxic wastelands outside the domed cities of the politicians and the wealthy and powerful Corporate Kings. Genetic imports from the Matian base of Multi-Phylums flood the military market, fueling even more conflict in the geopolitical game. Totallyon is unwillingly thrust into a partnership with a young OWT female, Cherry-Cola, who attempts to find human emotion in him. All are set in a surreal world, competing for the greatest war machine ever devised, 'Destiny.' pgs. 167 - $10.00 + Free S&H.
 

TIMES, THOUGHTS... WORDS is a collection of 27 dark tales. It is a collection of tales that are from times, both past and future, when the natural sequence of order in the time continuum has experienced a distortion of what we as human beings perceive to be reality. Perhaps such occurrences are caused when two dimensions overlap, creating tornadic vortexes within those forces that govern and influence the lives of individuals. These are times when the normal and the paranormal become a collage of indistinguishable events, of dark experiences that leave one devoid of explanation. It is the trademark of such times, of such dark events, to leave those who survive with only their thoughts. Thoughts, like the time continuum, precise and unfailing, become the menace of the mind. The rational memory can only record the twisted realities from some window in time that opened to allow persons, places and things to become rearranged in such a way as to mis-align body and soul. The being left behind is a mutation, trapped and alone with only its thoughts. But, the beings, no matter how many ways they try to explain such events to themselves, can never rest until the tale is told. That which is exuded from a former intelligence, is only a babble of words. Words, however, are their only hope. If they are ever to regain their place within the natural order, surely words will easily explain their circumstances. The formed and frozen thoughts have become their last defense, that which will separate them from the storm and reinstate them within a prior existence. Surely, words will convince all of their indisputable truths. Or will their words convict them... of a state of madness? pgs. 155 - $10.00 + Free S&H.
 

The following novellas, "Superstition," and "Ignis Fatuus," are two installments of murder mysteries by my serialized character, Hugo Barberra. In the first segment, Hugo investigates a decades old series of unsolved murders connected with Heddon House, a rural plantation dating back to the days of the Civil War. It is considered haunted, but Hugo doesn't believe in ghosts, and plans on connecting the murders to someone still living. It is the number of bodies that brings Hugo to the case. In "Ignis Fatuus," it is the lack of bodies that brings Hugo to investigate Moon Swamp, a place where people seem to vanish without a trace. Hugo eventually decides to go into the swamp alone to find out what happens to a body left within the mysterious phenomena of agricultural pollution and natural anomalies the swamp is known for. Both are great reading and will leave the reader wanting to read installments of Hugo's future episodes. Paperback - 166 pgs. General reading audience. $10.00 + Free S&H.
 

Things Less Human is a series of works which include collections of short stories. The first six editions vary in material quality, although content remains consistent with Iron Pyramid's unique brand of dark genre. It is a brand that often includes the surreal and has achieved the highest standard for those who enjoy reading dark and twisted tales. The first six publications of TLH are of the same general description except for the type of printing paper. It is the process of experimentaion that earns the collection the distinction as collectibles. 16 pages - slick-glossy - $2.95 + $1.00 S&H.
 

Things Less Human, volume two was originally designed to be printed as the launch edition for the series, and contains the short story for which the series was named, 'Things Less Human.' Printer difficulties caused the work to be delayed and edition two was reflagged as edition one. This was the early days of Iron Pyramid when multiple printers were competing to win our continued publication needs. 16 pgs. - slick-glossy - $2.95 + $1.00 S&H.
 

Volume three of Things Less Human was an experiment with a new printer, where Iron Pyramid sought to find out if it was the quality of the paper or the quality of the story content that sold the publications. Editions 3, 4, and 5 are printed on rag, but sold equally well as the higher quality, higher cost paper of editons 1 & 2. However, Iron Pyramid lost this printer due to a major hurricane in Florida, and that company never reopened. 16 pgs. rag - $2.95 + $1.00 S&H.

Editon seven of Things Less Human was a marked evolution of Iron Pyramid and its publications. This is when many events took place to earn our works professional status. We introduced 'Alice' a much darker serialized work about a teenage girl, destined to be the first chapter in all future TLH publications. The format changed to become the highest quality of paperback, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. The next seven issues would be 64 pgs in length. These are publications that also contain other serialized works by Iron Pyramid, as well as bringing mystery and science fiction into the mix. And, a new style of cover artwork evolved in this step, with back cover art being as important as the front cover. It was also at this point we began to rate the suggested reading level for all future TLH as 'very dark genre,' parental guidance and suggested for reading audiences ages seventeen and older. 64 pgs. - Professional Quality Paperback - $10.00 + $2.00 S&H.

Scheduled to die by lethal injection at midnight, Clyde Shelton has been tried and found guilty of the murder of Norma Baker, and the rape of her daughter, Brenda Hamilton. To this day, he adamantly denies the charges, claiming he is innocent. His account of that fateful night is so bizarre, no one believes him. Yet, he never wavers. Shelton will die at midnight. Is he guilty as determined by the jury, or could he be innocent, as he claims? Death is so final. Once he is strapped to a narrow table, an intravenous needle placed in his arm, circulating toxic poison into his organs and body cells, there can be no reversal. What if he really is innocent? In the hours preceding the culmination of the sentence, organized public demonstrators have gathered at the prison in disapproval of the ‘death penalty.‘ For them, a life sentence far exceeds the risk of killing one innocent person. The story unfolds through Brenda and other residents of the town. It’s a sin to tell a lie. What lie? Whose lie? ISBN 978-1450516433 132 pgs. $8.00 + Free S&H.

While "The Shuttle Projects Piracy," does eventually leave our planet for deep space, it is almost entirely about the events that take place on earth prior to launch. There are many relationships intertwined around the world, unknown to the many participants, until the end of the Cold War. The author takes this event in history and spins a tale of what could have taken place behind the scenes in the space race. The Strategic Defense Initiative and other secretive space defense programs is a favorite subject of the author. However, he recognizes the many complex positions and relationships of the players who hold such posts in the newly unfolding global community... ...R. D. Peters creates heroes out of the most unlikely characters, those discarded by bureacratic "good ol' boy" systems that secretly still hold the same prejudices against females, religions and other nationalities. He has designed this novel, this story to appeal to the largest global reading audience possible due to establishing, Andrea Russell, the former American space shuttle director, and Anatoly Pavlov, a Soviet cosmonaut as the main characters of the sixteen primary people involved in pirating the space shuttle. These become the heroes of this tale, supported by a secret benefactor of another country, to be revealed only when they are underway to Mars. ISBN 9781450509220 168 pgs. $10.00 + Free S&H
