INTRODUCTION

It seems to me, my Security Directorate universe is the gift that just keeps giving.

Not for its citizens, of course, but for me who writes, and you who read the stories.

In the first volume’s introduction, I explained the idea came out of World War II documentaries and the Syrian Civil War (not that it’s over).

And I explained a little behind the inspiration for a Genomics Bureau that literally controls births, deaths and marriages, and an Office of Public Enlightenment to interpret the truth for its citizens.

I still find the potential applications of eugenics, and the complementary policies of genocide and breeding control ghoulishly fascinating.

Not to mention the recent attempts by certain governments to control the truth, so an Office of Enlightenment looks like a good way for a fascist state to buy itself the time and space to grow and develop as a country.

Especially with departments for internal, as well as external truths.

All in all, regardless of who’s in charge, a fair amount of population control requires having the right people in the right places to ensure compliance.

Not to mention a casually ruthless disregard for its citizens.

I worry a little that makes me some kind of egregious monster.

But when I read books by other authors in similar veins, I’m reassured we all need these fictions to help us see where such policies could end up.

After all, we writers are good at following these thoughts to their logical conclusions.

So, here are some more speculative stories about life in the Security Directorate.

This time, we’re looking more at the mid-level officers who undertake this work. The perils of get-ting up and going to work every day.

Their choices, for better or worse, and how the consequences play out.

  • In Life in the Security Directorate, Eve struggles to come to terms with life in the Directorate, and finds her own way out.
  • While Honoris Virilis Respectu shows Major General John Simm struggling with the difference between his version of the truth and the Director General’s.
  • Potentially, Captain Maeryn Prothero is on the wrong side of the Directorate in Calling it a Day.
  • Moving on, in Veni Vidi Vici, Second Lieu-tenant Cora Meadows must make a one woman assault on her own Exploratorem Station.
  • And finally, in Pursuit of Power, Captain Tara Cline pursues a serial killer with a dirty secret.

Every day I sit down after tea and watch the tv news. The international reports show me there’s a lot of Security Directorate-like activity going on out there.

In some cases, it’s a little more frightening than I’ve imagined up to now.

I look forward to seeing how this affects the Security Directorate, and I hope you do too.

eBook
Seeing as you’re not looking at a print book, you don’t need to worry so much about dog-eared pages or split spines.

But, we know you’re probably going to read in the bathroom, or while you’re eating lunch… So, just from a phone/tablet hygiene and safety point of view, please wash your hands, and don’t drop the phone! Might be an idea to clean the screen now and again as well.

print book
We recommend storing your book away from sunlight on a clean dry shelf, washing your hands before you pick it up, and not licking your fingers to turn the pages.

But if you want to read it in the bath with a glass of wine, or scoff a kebab for lunch while you read, we won’t tell.
