Independent fiction publisher
Iron Road Press publishes grounded dystopian and speculative fiction by Adam Vahn. Two books are available now, with the remaining volumes of The Manual Override Trilogy in development.
Published titles
Two distinct novels, united by a clear-eyed interest in the machinery beneath ordinary life.
A literary dystopian novel about citizenship made conditional, records treated as truth, and a woman whose careful life begins to come apart when the system that defines her standing turns its attention inward.
A grounded dystopian thriller about modern infrastructure, automated authority, and the consequences of handing essential systems responsibilities no one person truly controls.
Series in progress
A near-future trilogy about the systems that keep a country moving, what happens when those systems fracture, and the imperfect human arrangements that emerge afterward.
The moment accountability meets infrastructure, every hidden dependency becomes visible.
Movement, fuel, trade, and authority become inseparable as the country fragments into competing corridors.
Survival gives way to settlement, and every attempted repair carries the cost of deciding who gets heard.
