GOLGOTHA™

Book I:I Saga

Ethos has no memory of the soldier he once was.
No clean name. No authority he recognizes.
He survives in New York’s underground fight pits, trading violence for food, shelter, and the silence that follows. But the markings carved into his flesh are not just tattoos. They are warnings. They turn conviction into power, fear into instinct, and every fight into something the world’s superpowers cannot afford to ignore.

Then there’s her: Isska Svettz
Sent by the Iron Curtain to watch and learn, she was supposed to be his shadow, not his salvation. But the closer she gets, the more their buried lives begin to fill the missing spaces between memory, blood, and war.

As military architects, corporate kings, ancient empires, and unseen powers circle a quantum material powerful enough to unbalance the scales of war, Ethos must face the truth behind his enhancement.

After the Global Collapse, the world did not end

The year is 368 P.G.C. Governments have become little more than ghosts, managing the bones of civilization with frontier-style law. Corporations became sovereign entities. New dynasties rose to power. Military might guides what’s left of collapsed nations. The waging of war has been contracted and branded. Now violence is policy, product and entertainment. Power is earned, then kept by the capable.

In the streets, blood is one of the few currencies that still spends.

Creator of GOLGOTHA ™.

I was born in Kings County, Brooklyn, New York. A lot of my childhood was shaped by the streets. I moved around, learned some things the hard way, made mistakes, survived some of them, and eventually found my way into the United States Army.

I served with the 101st Airborne Division, 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, HHC, including one combat tour in Iraq. During that deployment, I was hit by an IED while traveling in a HMMWV convoy. I was unconscious for roughly a minute.

A minute doesn't sound like much. It was enough.

During that time, I experienced something I still carry with me today. Whatever questions I may have had before that moment, I came out of it believing there was more to existence than what I could see in front of me. It became the beginning of my belief in God and permanently changed the way I thought about life, death, purpose, and what may exist beyond the world we understand.

That didn't mean I suddenly had everything figured out. I didn't. Years later, in 2019, belief became commitment, and I became a follower of Christ.

My faith is part of who I am, but GOLGOTHA ™ is not a religious story. It is a secular work of fiction, built first and foremost around its characters, world, conflicts, and the story being told. It was not created to preach or promote a particular doctrine.

I have always been a writer. Long before GOLGOTHA ™, I wrote poetry and rap lyrics, using words as a way to express ideas, experiences, and emotion. So, when the idea of building an entire fictional reality began taking shape, the question was never whether I could write it. The real question was whether I was willing to commit to writing for as long as it would take to build everything, I knew GOLGOTHA could become.

Eventually, that “if” became yes.

The long-term vision is unapologetically ambitious.

I want GOLGOTHA ™ to grow into a premier American anime capable of standing alongside the world's leading anime franchises—not merely through scale, spectacle, or characters who can tear the world apart, but through storytelling, worldbuilding, character development, visual identity, emotional weight, and cultural presence.

I want to build something worth remembering.

This is only the beginning of that journey, and I know there is a long road ahead. I intend to give everything I can to building GOLGOTHA ™ into what I believe it can become.

But beyond the ambition, the most important thing is this:

I hope you enjoy the experience.
