Dark Future

by James Swallow

2006

In a violent alternate future of road wars, corporate rot, and cyberpunk menace, survival means staying faster than the next ambush. Swallow's entry delivers hard-edged action in a grim shared world.

Series background & context

Dark Future is a violent alternate-future setting built around road warfare, corporate rot, cyberpunk edges, and apocalyptic Americana. Think outlaw highways, armed vehicles, and a world where the future has gone wrong in loud, dangerous ways.

James Swallow's Dark Future novel fits that mood. It sits alongside work by other writers in the shared setting, but his entry brings the kind of momentum he often uses in thrillers and game fiction.

This is not a polite dystopia. It is fast, dirty, and strange, with the road itself acting like a battlefield. Start with Swallow's book if you are following his bibliography, or the broader series if you want the full setting.
