The Cyborg's Warning
À propos de cet e-book
No question James had a raw deal. Not only did he teleport to another universe, but he also had to live in a secure military complex named Valardir for protection. The only bright spot is that Rose Ricdeau, his winged benefactor, shares his living quarters. Her friendship makes his stay there tolerable.
Just as James finds a sense of normalcy in his new existence, he receives a phone call from the mysterious cyborg the Nirnivians call Doctor Death. Without delay, the Doctor warns him not to trust Rose. James, however, refuses to listen and hangs up, quite certain that if his hosts discovered he talked to their enemy they’d be less than pleased.
Deep down, James wonders if there’s truth to Doctor Death’s words. Should Rose not be the friend she appears to be, what did that imply for him? Still, he can’t risk antagonizing his only lifeline, so he reveals the cyborg’s call to Valardir’s authorities.
Immediately, panic ensues. That the Doctor contacted James implies he breached Valardir’s security. This scenario spells doom and so a rush occurs to find out what happened. This puts more pressure on the already overworked technical staff, who considers rebellion.
Did the cyborg breach Valardir security? If so, what does it mean for James’ and Rose’s safety? If not, how did he contact James? Either way, why did the president of another country bother calling an insignificant human from a different world? Perhaps more crucial for James, is Rose the benevolent figure she pretends to be? And what if she’s not?
Book 2 of the Cyborg’s Crusade series.
Notes et avis
À propos de l'auteur
My name is Benoit Lanteigne and I’m a French Canadian (outside of Quebec) who’s trying to write in English. That can be tricky. I’m a computer programmer and I enjoy it. I see many inspiring writers who hate their day jobs and hope to quit someday, but that’s not my case. Mostly, I’ve worked on websites and web applications.
Back in school, I enjoyed writing and according to my teachers and classmates; I had a talent for it. Well, not so much for grammar and spelling, but they liked my stories. Once I went to university, I dropped writing as a hobby. There were other things I wanted to focus on, such as my career. Then, in the early 2000s, around 2006 I’d say, I had a flash of inspiration. At first, it was a single character: a winged woman with red hair. I didn’t even know who she was, but the image stuck with me. From there, I began figuring out details about her origins and her world, but I only started writing for real in 2009. After over ten years of hard work, books of The Cyborg’s Crusade are finally ready for release.
