Review
"Darkly satisfying, the concept and plot construction is the strongest part of the work by far, and hard science fiction fans will enjoy the detailed expositions of how this world works, from governmental levels right down to the everyday people trying to cope." ---K.C. Finn, Readersfavorite.com
From the Author
Full Storyline Synopsis;Chronologue takes place in the year 2257 AD, where technology has taken complete control over everyday living. Fast food restaurants all have robot chefs and robot butlers, driverless cars and drones deliver everything to the citizen's houses, people mostly all work from home, or through a hologram projection. However, since technology has taken control over the atmosphere, out of nowhere this AI threat manages to self-replicate itself. Able to think, feel, and make their own decisions, The Avalon Republic of machines believe that in order to achieve a true utopia, since robots do everything for us as it is, robots must be 'smarter than people' and humans and machines should all become one entity. To add to the growing list of conflicts, the sexually transmitted disease of Aids has went airborne, and is now the Everything Virus. Combining with all other sicknesses, The E-Virus (or Super Aids) infects objects combines with all other sicknesses and illnesses, even infects objects and any surface it attaches to, and is so devastating, that it's even depleting Earth's oxygen. To combat this, we put in our bodies, robotic nanochip technologies called Medalight, which changes our DNA, overseers our minds and brainwaves, controls breathing and blood function...But since we now have a robotic antibody in our bloodstream controlling everything. The Avalon androids now have the means to 'hack people' as though they were machines. They are using the Medalight to control people's minds, and keep them from dying. The story is told from multiple perspectives; the civilian's perspective, which is represented by character's couple Butch and Clarissa, and their neighbors, the military's perspective as they struggle to fight a seemingly unstoppable mechanical enemy, the government's perspective as they deal with trying to maintain society, even from a religious perspective as to how Christianity would feel about fighting to stop the mechanical overlords, and how they try to get past the government curfews in order to continue going to church in their society, and other country's perspective, such as China, as every country band together to stop the insane mechanical overlords threatening all of existence. The moral is to warn readers about the dangers of letting society lose its humanity, and how we shouldn't let technology take over our day to day lives in a way that it would be overbearing.Morals and ethics are challenged and put to the test, as people fight to maintain their world. Also note that I add in humor into the book to lighten the mood and tension from time to time. It's based in a world in where it's a like a suppressed fiction fantasy (in the series there is magic, and mystical creatures, but society magic seals everything so magic can't be used--because casting lightning spells in New York city would be too destructive) The plot is to slowly as the sequels go on, morph what once was a science fiction world into full-fledged fiction fantasy with knights and elves ( humans who were experimented on using the Medalight) as society begins to revert back into the medieval times, only in the future. The setting is not necessarily a 'hardcore futuristic landscape' moreso a landscape that looks like a modern future; the goal is to present readers with a world that looks familiar to ours, while still having a mellowed future look.
