The Keepers of the Lightning BrainThis novel, The Keepers of the Lightning Brain, which contains 295 pages distributed over 33 chapters, builds the narrative bridge between the Lightning Brain Series and its Keepers Series sequel. The plot starts in February of 2157, twenty years after Electra Kittner, sui generis heroine of the first series, vanishes in a sandstorm during an attack on an American Middle East embassy. All the uncertain particulars regarding what happened remain shrouded still in secrecy, but Electra's close circle of professional and personal friends continue maintaining a Keepers Group to honor her memory and keep hope alive.
But a catastrophe strikes, eliminating all but one. Su-Lin Song Chou, ninety-plus and ailing physically and cognitively, must activate the next Keepers generation, following commands given by only one entity, a female codenamed Indira, who is available only in Cyberspace.Follow the suspense as four novice Keepers get to know themselves and each other better as they embark on an astounding rescue mission for which they understand little and haven't a clue about potentially deadly consequences. But if they are successful, each will reach an epiphany that may point the way forward.The theme for this book poses questions that each of us must answer at least once: Who am I? What should I do? What are my responsibilities? These are enigmas that can be answered only in the first person singular. How? By trusting the whispers and wings of our better angels as they soar above doubt and uncertainty.And while this storyline is unfolding, so is the relationship between Electra and the Singularity that emerges from Electra's beyond state-of-the-art AI linguistic app.Like all of Cliff Ratza's novels, readers of Sci-Fi, Science Future Projection (also known as Speculative Fiction), Thriller, Action-Adventure, Socio-Political Intrigue with a touch of Dystopia, Mystery, Romance, and even coming of Age (also known as Bildungsroman) can enjoy this novel on whatever level they choose: - Gripping action-packed thriller- Glimpses into a plausible near-term future- Insights for dealing with the human condition- Illustrative worldview philosophy- Fast-paced, suspense-filled, emotive narrative and imagery- Introduction to topics every reader wants to know- Interesting talking points going beyond sound-bitesSo, get ready to enjoy an action-packed thriller that races to far-flung places while probing the human condition via vibrant characters you're bound to root for.
