Science Fiction
Historical Fiction

In the divided city of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the air is thick with the scent of pine and the cold steel of colonial occupation. Adán Morales, a combat medic, and his fiancé Raul are finally ready to say 'I do.' But in a timeline where the British won the Revolutionary War and reality itself is fracturing, a wedding is never just a wedding. Their trusted Chief of Security, Grizz, has been replaced by a malevolent clone—a biological puppet of the cosmic entity Malphas. While the real Grizz suffers in a pocket universe, the impostor is weaving a web of betrayal that threatens to turn the wedding chapel into a killing floor. To save their future, Adán and Raul must plunge into a surreal void to rescue their friend and unmask the intruder. But even a victory at the altar comes with a price. When the ceremony is shattered by a political frame-up and the biological assassination of King George, Adán finds himself branded a traitor. Dr. Shrimply: Void of the Imposter is a mind-bending fusion of military sci-fi and historical intrigue. In a world where your closest ally might be your greatest enemy, love is the only thing worth fighting for.

Dr. Shrimply: Semper Fi 1777

Marine grit meets colonial chaos when a 31st-century war fractures across time

Science Fiction

The year is 1777, but the war is from the future. Dr. Adán Canto Morales-Glidden is a combat medic who thought he had seen the worst of humanity in the 31st century. Now trapped in the mud of the American Revolution, he is the only thing standing between a primitive hospital ward and the Scalpel-Wings—bio-mechanical nightmares sent by the entity known as Malphas. When a temporal rift brings his formidable mother, the Acting President, and his hardened former squad-mate Grizz into the past, Adán thinks he has found his reinforcements. Instead, he finds a nightmare of a different kind. Their high-tech weaponry is bricking in the humid colonial air, leaving them to defend the line with 18th-century chemistry and raw Marine instinct. But the true threat isn't just the monsters outside. A holographic ghost of Adán’s father has surfaced, revealing that Adán’s entire 'heroic' legacy is a lie designed to mask his family’s criminal syndicate roots. Battling Kandahar PTSD flashbacks and the weight of a bloodline he never knew, Adán must hold the ward at any cost. If he breaks, the Viper’s Crown virus will anchor in the past, and the future will cease to exist. Semper Fi takes on a whole new meaning when time itself is the enemy.

In 3026, Dr. Adán 'Shrimply' Canto is a master of survival. A combat medic with a clinical detachment from humanity, he’s the best at what he does—until a temporal rift hurls him into the freezing mud of 1777. Armed with a high-tech medallion, a 9mm pistol, and a heavy dose of sarcasm, Adán finds himself in the middle of the American Revolution. But the British Army isn't the greatest threat. A sentient, future-borne virus known as the Viper's Crown has followed him through time, turning the colonial population into horrific biological anchors for a cosmic predator called Malphas. To save the future, Adán must survive the past. Partnering with a sharp-witted apothecary's daughter, he has to 'science the shit out of' 18th-century medicine to synthesize a vaccine before the timeline is erased forever. Surrounded by people he views as primitives and chased by trans-dimensional drones, the grumpy doctor is the only thing standing between humanity and a multiversal extinction event. Revolutionary history meets cosmic horror in this high-stakes race against time. The war for the soul of the future has begun, and the first battle is being fought with muskets, scalpels, and 31st-century grit.
