Shane Stadler Novels

Wrongly convicted of a crime that will haunt him forever, William Thompson gambles everything on a secret one-year experimental program instead of rotting in prison for decades. The instant the experiment begins, he knows he's made a colossal mistake.

What they do to his mind and body is only the beginning. As sanity fractures and death starts to feel like a mercy he will never be granted, something impossible awakens inside him—an ability that lets him reach beyond flesh, beyond pain, and glimpse a hidden world people have killed to both reveal and conceal.

Book one of Shane Stadler’s Exoskeleton series is a relentless psychological descent that readers warn will put a mark on your soul … and by its final page ignites a quiet, luminous hope few ever see coming.

*WARNING: This may be the most disturbing science-fiction novel you’ll ever finish—and still feel grateful you did.*

***** AMAZON Reviews *****

 “It was like Isaac Asimov, Dolores Cannon, and Ian Fleming all got together and wrote this story. Absolutely captivating science fiction.”

“Hands down one of the best sci-fi series I've read in many years. The Exoskeleton books are tough to put down.”

“It's sci-fi, it's a techno-thriller, it's paranormal, it's government conspiracy and justice perverted, a drama and a story of redemption all at the same time. I loved it!”

“This series completely blew my mind several times … an exceptional look at life in several dimensions.”

“Sometimes horrific, thrilling, and exciting, this series had me reading at every available moment, couldn’t put it down! Excellent scientific background, and truly inspirational!”

“This series was some of the most intense science fiction that I have ever read.”

William Thompson barely survived the Red Box. He thought the nightmare was over. It’s only just begun.

A shadowy stranger's chilling warning—hunters are coming—shatters the fragile life he’s rebuilt. His abilities, forged in torment and transcendence, have made him the most dangerous man alive … and the most hunted.

Now the past drags him into a century-spanning conspiracy: Nazi occult experiments, black-project cover-ups, and something ancient rising from the Southern Sea that was never meant to wake.

Old allies return. Deadlier enemies surface. Every revelation costs blood, and the war he never wanted is already global.

Book 2 of Shane Stadler’s Exoskeleton series explodes from psychological horror into high-stakes conspiracy thriller—relentless, meticulously researched, and impossible to put down.

Readers who finished Book 1 begging for answers say the same thing: "Tympanum leaves an even deeper mark on your soul … and you’ll hit ‘Buy Book 3’ before you’re done."

*WARNING: Once you learn what the program was really for, there’s no un-knowing it.*

William Thompson never intended to become patient zero of the apocalypse.

Haunted by fragmented memories and the weight of decisions with existential consequences, Will returns from the Antarctic chasm to the CIA's shadowy Space Systems building. Implanted secrets from his encounter with the entity beneath the Southern Sea may hold the key to averting global extinction—or they could ignite it. Time itself is unraveling, and with every recovered memory the line between savior and architect of humanity’s destruction grows perilously thin.

Meanwhile, Jacob Hale is recruited into the shadowy order of the Omniscients, his skills crucial in deciphering mysterious communications with origins somewhere in the dark abyss of space. Joined by a fractured team of operatives—Denise Walker, Jonathan McDougal, Daniel Parsons, and Sylvia Barnes—they race against a ticking cosmic clock. An ancient force stirs, casting the world into existential shadows, and the choices made in the darkness echo across stars and souls.

Omniscient escalates the saga into mind-bending speculative sci-fi and spy thriller, where the darkest intentions of humanity’s past collide with otherworldly menace. Fans are calling it "storytelling at its highest—a transcendent journey that's original, exciting, and horrifically brilliant, the best in the series so far.”

*WARNING: Prepare for a tribulation that demands a reformation of your worldview.*

William Thompson awakens in an unknown place and senses a clock ticking in the back of his mind. He realizes that he’s made a promise that he might not be able to keep. Jacob Hale embarks on his first assignment as an Omniscient. Denise Walker and Jonathan McDougal are called back to Space Systems, joining Daniel Parsons and Sylvia Barnes in a mission that has final and existential consequences as the world is cast into a grave tribulation. Someone is coming ...

What if the greatest threat to humanity isn't war … but the truth we're not alone? 

ANDERS BENNETT is the man who moves secrets: slipping encrypted drives past the Secret Service, making exchanges with rogue foreign operators, transporting information concealed in packages assembled by the President himself. When Anders and his handler decipher the messages they’ve been ferrying about the globe, the truth hits harder than treason. The orders aren’t just inciting World War III – they’re igniting something even more devastating, more permanent. 

One man holds the proof that humanity is no longer alone. Something has been watching us from the black abyss above, and first contact will be the beginning of our demise. In a surveillance-ridden world where every camera is watching, averting the destruction of civilization as we know it might not be possible. 

The Peregrine Conjecture is a chilling blend of hard sci-fi, espionage thriller, and dystopian horror that echoes Orwell’s 1984, P. W. Singer’s Ghost Fleet, and Daniel Suarez's high-tech nightmares. Readers have called it “Electrifying Sci-fi with Orwellian consequences … Unsettling and plausible – A modern precursor to dystopian classics.”
