The year is 2236. Civilization didn't fall. It just stopped agreeing on what's real - and that might be worse.
Nations still function. Markets still open. Infrastructure still hums. But humanity has lost the one thing that ever made survival possible: a shared truth to build on.
So a quiet mandate is issued - an idea too dangerous to call what it is.
What if peace doesn't require persuasion? What if it only requires subtraction?
Six people are chosen. Not for their crimes. Not for their innocence. Each one represents a belief system so foundational that removing it would reshape what's left of the world.
They don't know they've been chosen for an experiment. They don't know it has a name.
Six Bullets.
And they're about to face the question no government has ever dared put into policy:
If disagreement is the disease... what's the cure?
Cold, precise, and morally relentless, Six Bullets is speculative fiction for readers who loved the ethical vertigo of The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, the systemic dread of Severance, and the philosophical teeth of Brave New World. This is a novel about epistemology, governance, and what peace costs when it's built by removing people instead of persuading them.
Some problems can be negotiated. Others can only be removed.
Read it before you decide which kind you're facing.
