About the Book

Funny, paranoid, original and disturbing, Northern Futures is a cornucopia of dystopian possibilities. 'Are you available for work? Fancy a spot of home invasion? What about a kidnapping or a high profile ransom? The price is negotiable. The target is specific. It has to be sentient ... It has to be an AI.' Welcome to Northern Futures, where a private investigator ponders the murder of a time travelling courier, a smart home is kidnapped and held to ransom, a nursing student falls in love with a university test clone and a gang of mercenaries attempts the perilous retrieval of a gas-powered engine from the ruins of a northern city. Silas Marvel Investigates - When the desperate widow of a recently murdered Clocker attends the offices of Silas Marvel Investigations to retain his services, Marvel accepts the case. However, what should be a relatively straightforward investigation is much more complicated than it first appears. Vegan State - In the future, being unhealthy is outlawed. Eating meat is a crime punishable by death. Underground dinner parties are on the increase, though for Annabelle Jones the consequences of attending could prove disastrous. (225-50) Agnes - A giant asteroid is on a collision course with the Earth. Armageddon is imminent. However, some people will go to any lengths to avoid the pending apocalypse. Skipper Jeremiah Dudd - Jeremiah Dudd is experiencing radical biological disturbances following a skipping operation gone awry, unaware that he is the unwitting test subject in a make or break experiment conducted by the ruthless and ambitious Dr. Ignatius Welsh. A Dish Best Served - When Obadiah Wickes's residence comes under attack from an unidentified assailant, revenge for a past wrong seems the only rational explanation. The Engine - In the distant future, a gang of salvage mercenaries attempts the perilous retrieval of a gas powered Victorian engine from the ruins of a former Northern City. Verdict - Following the arrest for murder, trial, and subsequent execution live on television, of his brother Archie, private investigator Brady Harris receives an email that calls into question the veracity of the verdict. Cynthia 2246 - Professional boundaries and ethics are tested when student nurse Ezekiel and University Test Clone Cynthia 2246 engage in an illicit campus relationship that could have serious repercussions for both of their futures. Smart Home Blues - A Smart Home is kidnapped and held to ransom, setting into motion a series of events that will have tragic consequences for everyone involved. Bodies - Following a series of unfortunate events, a routine job transporting cargo across the galaxy becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse for Prescott O'Hara, captain of the Leadbelly.
About the Author: Mark Anthony Ayling was born and raised in St Helens, near Liverpool in the northwest of England, where he spent his formative years reading horror, fantasy, science fiction stories, and comics and listening to as much decent music as he could possibly get his hands on. He eventually went to university to study English Literature and French and later decided to complete a diploma in nursing. Mark is happily married (most of the time) and has a 4-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. He spends whatever spare time he can salvage writing stories (often late at night), rearranging his record collection, going to watch live music, attending rugby league games, and watching films. Northern Futures is his first collection of short stories.
