Praise For Early Adopters: Rogue Elements - Amazon Reviews

"A thumping good read."

"This is my favourite Superhero Universe now."

"Everything I wanted from The Watchmen movie and didn't get."


Over a decade ago now, a group of misfits underwent genetic editing under the auspices of scientific research. They thought they could make a difference. They thought they were going to be superheroes, but MiliTech turned them into their own living, breathing weapons.

Outside of their honeymoon period, they are disavowed and relentlessly pursued by their creators. Disparate, they do the best they can to stay one step ahead, stay out of each other’s way and maybe do a little good where they can.

But as MiliTech’s net closes in, these Early Adopters need to make a choice - will they keep on running forever or will they Make a stand? Can they work together to free a forgotten hero from a golden age, or will they just make everything worse all over again?

The age of gods and monsters is upon us as the Early Adopters Universe begins in Early Adopters: Rogue Elements - an anthology of nine entangled stories developing into a single explosive narrative. An action packed love letter to science fiction comics and graphic novels.

Get in now on the ground floor, and come along for the ride!


*** Early Adopters: Rogue Elements contains some elements previously published as We Are Gargoyle and Star Crossed***

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

D.T. Wilby is a science fiction author living in the U.K. His particular area of interest is near future science fiction and the impact new technology may have on society and our future. Often his interest is pricked by a tech story on the news which niggles away until it develops into something like the idea for a new novel.

Both of his full length novels, Ringer and Central Locking, feature everyday protagonists struggling against the extraordinary circumstances technology places them in.

As well as his stand alone novels, D.T. Wilby is developing his Early Adopters short story shared universe, with the Novella Star Crossed as the first Amazon release in the series.Early Adopters follows a rag-tag bunch of genetic experiments, on the run from their mendacious creators.

D.T. Wilby certainly delivers in this action packed story! I read through this in just two days and it did not disappoint!

What I loved the best was how Wilby opens up the book with a journal log story prologue, giving the reader a taste of the great story to come. Creating questions before you dive right into the characters.

I would highly recommend this to others!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark superhero tales that will leave you wanting more
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022
9 interlinked stories of a group of disparate characters whose lives are inextricably linked by the past.
Militech is an evil corporation who has “enhanced” (experimented upon) a number of test subjects, giving them all different “super” abilities. Somehow the test subjects escaped (and I would love to read that story!) and went their separate ways. However they can’t escape the past, Militech, and each other that easily.
I loved the different abilities the characters have been endowed with, and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. Technically superheroes, there is a darkness to them all that is not to everyone’s superhero taste but is fine with me. Although I would have preferred a single novel rather than the different stories, I thought they worked really well. The more I progressed through the stories, the more I loved the world, so I have no hesitation in recommending this book and rating it 5 star.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great New Universe
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021

Early Adopters: Rogue Elements by D.T. Wilby is a collection of nine interconnected short stories that when read together tell the story of a group of men and women who are forced to work together in order to survive.

Each story peels back another layer of the world that Wilby has created to reveal of the lengths that the nefarious corporation, MiliTech, will go to regain control of their creations. Of the nine stories, my personal favorite was "Luck is Loaned, Not Owned." In this one we meet Leon and see him in action; a man with more than his fair share of luck.

It took me some time to get used to the format of the book (nine interconnected stories). But once I saw how the stories were connecting, I rapidly went from one to the next! There will most definitely be a sequel and I can't wait to read it.

Buckle up and dive into this dark, witty and explosive universe - and immerse yourself in a fab new sci-fi x superhero series packed with great characters, clever plots, witty dialogue, tonnes of action and plenty of originality. This is Watchmen meets DC/Marvel with a pinch of The Boys. Tonnes of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my favourite superhero universe now
Reviewed in the Netherlands on August 6, 2021

I must really applaud this book. I simply loved it. What an incredible treat going on from Gargoyle (the first story, available as a standalone) to an even bigger world! Each chapter/story was captivating in of itself, yet still fleshing out the bigger picture, building up to a nail-biting climax and ambiguous end. Exactly what you want from any continuing saga.

I adored every new character, the genuine sense of unique personality as well as (and matching up with) their superhero identity and abilities. Not to mention the supervillains, their wonderful, intriguing little cameos. I could see fans cosplaying these guys.

I really enjoyed how original yet somehow nostalgic it felt. Like your favourite comics from another dimension. I guess it's in a way everything I wanted from the Watchmen movie and didn't get. Yes, Wilby did it better!

The writing itself is first class. Beautiful, flowing, dense, immersive.

I can only say that it's fantastic, and I enjoyed it to bits. I absolutely WANT MORE!
