Welcome to The Deep System
A science fiction series by Luc Byard
The stars are still out of reach but desperate to fuel the Earth, we have colonised the Solar System. With no independent states in space, the corporations have become political powers while mafias and pirates feed the black market. Some will go to extreme lengths to keep what power and control they so delicately hold on to while others will do whatever they can to change Humanity... forever.

BOXRUNNER
Ellie is an idealistic engineer who believes in the cause - the Solar System-wide industry that keeps Humanity fuelled and fed.
Yseult is a cynical freight captain (known as a Boxrunner) who believes in her cause - keeping her ship fuelled and herself fed.
A hidden message revealing a conspiracy to keep an alien signal from Alpha Centauri secret will send them both on a journey to uncover the truth while corporate giants feud for control of the system’s precious resources. But Ellie will discover that life is very different beyond the belt and her idealism may be a luxury she can no longer afford as it turns out they are not the only ones looking for answers out in the Deep System.
I am currently querying The Deep System: Boxrunner and seeking an agent.
PROTEUS RISING
Riddaeon is an Eclipsis agent who believes in Eclipsis but is torn by personal revelations.
Sila is a captain who believes in Cobalt's mission - bringing stability and justice to the Deep System
Despite their best efforts, Yseult and Ellie are drawn deeper into the conspiracy. But the landscape is changing; Eclipsis threatens to become a true political power beyond the belt and ISO is at breaking point. But beneath the corporate squabbling, individuals plot for power, control, and revenge.
I am currently working on the first draft of The Deep System: Proteus Rising.
RED TEMPEST
Red Tempest will be the third book in the series.
I am currently working on principle plot points for this book.
Yseult ran her hand down the ridge that formed the bottom edge of the prow of the Brawling Beauty. She was a tactile person; strange for someone who spent most of her time alone.
