V.E.S. Pullen writes science fiction with a distinctive approach to world-building, as evidenced by the cryptic alphanumeric titles of The JAK2 Cycle. The four-book series, published between 2020 and 2022, begins with Book of the Dead: AESLI-00 (2020) and continues through Book of the Damned and Book of the Lost in the same year before concluding with Book of the Found: AESLI-01 (2022).
The coded designations in each title suggest a future (or alternate) world with rigid classification systems, and the “Book of the Dead / Damned / Lost / Found” structure hints at a journey from destruction toward recovery. Three of the four books appeared in 2020, indicating a rapid release schedule for the core of the series, with the final installment arriving two years later. The JAK2 Cycle is Pullen’s primary published work to date.
