Novel in Development
After nuclear war devastates Earth and destroys much of humanity’s advanced science, two surviving scientists are sent to Mars to recover the terraforming technology Earth desperately needs.
The colony they find was established before the war and has flourished for a century, preserving breakthroughs Earth has lost—including radically extended human lifespans. Many of the original settlers are still alive.
Return to Mars explores survival, scientific ambition, and what happens when two branches of humanity meet again after developing in very different worlds.
8 Part Limited Series
In September 1939, a young boy from an affluent Jewish family in Warsaw watches his world collapse as Germany invades Poland.

Based on the book Not Without a Fight by D.W. Duke, the story has been adapted as an eight-part limited television series, with all eight scripts completed.
