Fused: Training Day is a new beginning. It's an offshoot of the Diffusion series, but it is also a stand-alone story—a prequel for my new Fused series. Training Day is a novella (15,000 words) for readers who love alien contact, mind-bending concepts, and coming-of-age stories.
A year ago, the world was almost destroyed by an alien artifact. Then the artifact went missing. It lies hidden somewhere, a ticking bomb of potential destruction. Bobby Truex knows exactly where it is.
Bobby is only sixteen, but he has seen more tragedy than most people will ever see. Now he just wants to be Bobby Truex. He wants to read books, explore the forest and river near his new home, maybe have a girlfriend. Most of all, he doesn’t want to hurt anyone.
But how can you live a normal life if your body is the most dangerous thing on Earth? Bobby realizes he needs to learn what he’s capable of and what he should never try to do. For this, he enlists the help of Ashley, the only girl who knows he is no longer human.
Bobby is a fast learner, but learning requires trial and error. If he succeeds, maybe he can make the world a better place. If he fails… well, anything could happen.

Here are a few of my favorite reviews of Fused: Training Day:
"Mr. Smith continues to amaze me with his imaginative storytelling and I can't wait to read his next installments."
- Boo-Boo on Amazon
"An interesting and imaginative tale of strange powers and strange animals, which is well written and very unusual.
Although this new book - maybe the start to a new series - uses characters from a previous series, it does standalone so can be read as a story in its own right."
- Jenny on Goodreads
"School's Out! That was a fun read prequel, I enjoyed catching up with some of the characters from the original series. I'm looking forward to the new one."
- Isabella on Goodreads
"Was dying for a sequel to the Diffusion series. This does not disappoint."
- Deborah on Amazon
"This is not a long book but it is fast paced. A 16 yr old boy one year and the next a superpower nano boy. There is a lot that happens in a short amount of time and it is a troubling adventure for our young hero. He has to learn how to use his powers and that is the problem. This will become a really good series so don't miss out on the start."
