lIGHTNING BRAIN SERIES
Embark on an Adventure in Every Page of These Riveting Reads
This action-adventure series, laced with terrorism and political intrigue, constructs from the latest technological and sociopolitical trends one plausible scenario resulting from a viral pandemic occurring early in the 22nd century.
Book One – The Girl With The Lightning Brain
“Electra is exceptional. She knows that. And she also knows her extraordinary abilities – the paranormal aftermath of a near-death experience at birth – are secrets that must never be revealed. Her life depends on it.”
So begins chapter one in book one of the ground-breaking “Lightning Brain” action-adventure series that extrapolates the latest science, political intrigue, and contemporary lifestyles while tracing the twists and turns in the life of Electra “Kit” Kittner. She grows up in a frightened, intolerant America threatened by “Techno-Plague” and Middle East Terrorism.
The action builds relentlessly, from lighter childhood adventures to darker realities caused by America’s threats that are exacerbated by a harsh government that would treat her badly if it were to discover what she is. Electra is more than up to the challenge, choosing a career path on which she fights these existential problems.
Book Two – The Girl Who Electrified The World
“Mrs. T struggled mightily to maintain composure… Her head felt like an overinflated balloon… she had struggled even harder to salvage a rescue mission… to retrieve what’s needed to keep America safe from the Techno-Plague, Middle East Terrorism, and the Guardian Party.”
That is Book Two’s opening paragraph, action exploding from where book one ends, relentlessly terminating old enemies as fast as new ones emerge. Can Electra keep her “secret” hidden while allowing males to play her deadly games as her array of extraordinary skills deepens? You won’t find out until the last line of the last chapter!
Book Three – The Girl Who Commanded Lighting
“The lightning brain had been waging a life-or-death battle against T-Plague virus for the past twenty-four hours… The lightning brain had won, but victory came at a terrible cost; neural entanglement gravely crippled Electra’s lightning brain.”
Book three picks up where book two’s “Death Vigil” ends. The lightning brain must repair itself before Electra can rejoin the battle against the Techno-Plague as well as contend with war raging in Cyberspace directed by a rogue Middle East state allied with China and Russia, all the while dealing- with America’s relentlessly harsh government. How the lightning brain and Electra’s emergent personalities struggle to win is a page-turning plot, full of action and suspense to the very end!
Book Four – The Girl Who Cloned Lighting
This book charges ahead from Book 3’s explosive ending. Electra Kittner – now an Electra-Alisha split personality infected with an STD-like T-Plague mutation – must cure herself first before battling a new set of enemies in Cyber as well as 3-D Space. She must also contend with a relentlessly harsh government as well as random acts of terrorism masterminded by a rogue paramilitary force allied with China and Russia, all interwoven into the fabric of her professional and personal lives fraught with technological and political uncertainties.
Can she hold adversaries at bay? Find out when you read, and then you’ll know when you reach the very last line of the last chapter.
Book Five – The Girl Who Sparked The Singularity
BOOK FIVE OF LIGHTNING BRAIN SERIES ADDS NEW CHARACTERS AND MYSTERIOUS TWISTS THAT ELEVATE ACTION AND SUSPENSE LEADING TO STUNNING CONCLUSION OF ENTIRE SERIES
“Put down weapon and praise Allah for deliverance. You are only survivor we find.”
These starting lines from chapter one launch Electra Kittner’s relentless pursuit of known adversaries and her obsessive search for an unknown hacker-leaker, plunging our protagonist into danger on every action-filled step she takes in 3-D and Cyberspace. Will she emerge unscathed? You will know only when reaching the very last line, and even then maybe not. You decide!
The Keepers of Lightning Brain
BOOK ONE OF THE “KEEPERS” SERIES SEAMLESSLY BRIDGES FROM THE END OF “THE LIGHTNING BRAIN” SERIES (FEB. 2137) TO “RIGHT NOW” (FEB. 2157) AS IT INTRODUCES A NEW SET OF CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS UNFOLDING IN A COMPELLING STORYLINE.
