Description
Vance "Chief" Sterling didn't just join the Global Vanguard; he used it to escape a chaotic, unmapped youth. Rising through the ranks to become a Tier-7 Leader, Vance begins to see the world through "The Grid"-a mental overlay of statistics and structural weak points. As he transitions from a frontline technician to a specialized Systems Integration Officer, he discovers a terrifying truth: the world is governed by hidden Logic Gates.
To survive the corruption within the Vanguard, Vance begins coding the first version of "The Bastion"-a mental sanctuary where he builds indestructible cities in his mind. But as his fourteen-year service approaches its end, the transition to the "Civilian Sector" becomes his most dangerous mission yet. Vance must lay an iron foundation for his family before the chaos of his past breaches the perimeter of his new life.

Person
Gregory Parrott is a writer of the stories he always wished someone else would write. Blending sci-fi, historical fiction, thrillers, military tales, and fantasy, Gregory invites readers to simply kick back and enjoy the ride.
A lifelong resident of Massachusetts, Gregory balances his passion for crafting captivating narratives with a vibrant family life, cheering on his kids, and paddling with his dragon boat veterans team. When he's not immersed in fantastical worlds or historical battles, you can often find him unwinding with video games or hitting the pavement for a run. A proud veteran currently serving in the Army National Guard since 2011, Gregory brings a unique blend of discipline and imagination to his storytelling. Many of the tales you'll find within his pages are stories he first dreamt up as a teenager, finally brought to life for the world to enjoy.
