Second, I've had several discussions recently with film producers abut making CYBERSP@CE into a film! Check back for updates on this exciting development!

Cybersp@ce (January-2013)

 CYBERSP@CE is a fast-paced, sci-fi espionage story set in the present or the near future, with elements of international intrigue, artificial intelligence, action, suspense, and romance.

From inside his home outside the small town of Corona, New Mexico in 1947, a young boy witnesses an alien spacecraft falling from the sky during a freak lightning storm.

Many years later, Analyst Nick Reynolds is appointed as the head of a Cyber Command taskforce established to deal with the increasing cyber warfare threat from China. A new and disturbing trend of increasingly dangerous cyber-attacks against America’s national infrastructure soon emerges, including an attack that leaves 100,000 Americans dead, and threatens to ignite a nuclear war between the United States and China. Nick also learns that a massive, large-scale Chinese cyber-attack against the United States infrastructure is imminent. When the evidence suggests that the threat is real and that the attack will kill millions of people, Nick determines that his team will not have enough time or the technical resources to stop the imminent attack when it comes.

Desperate to prevent a global holocaust, Nick soon learns of a top-secret project that might offer a way to stop the attack, and spare the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

Dr. Henry Summers works with his scientist daughter, Kate, inside Area 51 at Groom Lake, Nevada. After years of trying to reverse-engineer an alien spacecraft, his team has finally had a breakthrough; they discover how to interface with an alien ship's computer by using a cybernetic helmet to enter a fantastic, virtual world.

Excerpt from Frontiers:

“That’s just it, George…he doesn’t have any broken bones now, but he did when he was brought in yesterday. The doctor just told me that the x-rays are clear now, that he couldn’t even find a hairline fracture. He might not admit saying it, General, but the doctor told me yesterday that Henry’s ribs were broken when he first examined him, and he had no explanation as to why there’s no evidence on the most recent x-rays of the ribs ever having been broken. He also said he could actually feel the break in the boy’s arm yesterday, yet today when they x-rayed it, there was nothing wrong. He said….” Nick broke off and turned away for a moment when his eyes began to water.
“What, Nick, what did the doctor say?”
“He said it was as if Henry’s bones had completely healed overnight!”
“How is that possible, Nick?” Caprella asked him, not really expecting an answer. “Even if the injuries are healed, shouldn’t the x-rays show evidence of the breaks?”
“Exactly. I think we both know how Henry was able to heal so quickly, General, at least in part; the real question is why?”

Random thoughts about myself, Cybersp@ce, and the two sequels, Frontiers and New Beginnings

Random thoughts about myself, Cybersp@ce, and the two sequels, Frontiers and New Beginnings

I've always been a science-fiction fan, though I'm really not sure why. I suppose it started with me watching the original Star Trek TV series night after night when I was very young, or  my early fascination with works by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. But my literary interests went beyond Sci-Fi; I read the Bible cover to cover while still young, and I recall reading pretty much everything written at the time about Sherlock Holmes, and the Hardy Boys, and I collected comic books. I had over one-thousand comics  by the time I was twelve.

I started writing because I wanted to write novels for family consumption, books that could be read by children, young people, or adults, books that wouldn't make parent's hair stand on end if the picked one up and read a few lines. I also wanted to have an impact for Christ on the world, perhaps offering engaging, modern-day fiction, but with a Christian worldview.

When I began writing Cybersp@ce, I didn't really set out to write a science-fiction series. I'd already written several apocalyptic novels, The Great Collapse and The Dark Age, as well as The Last Prophet, a novel based on Revelation Chapter 11, which centers around the two witnesses, the beast, the false prophet, and the Antichrist. When I finally sat down to write Cybersp@ce, I outlined a novel that was more along the lines of a Tom Clancy novel than anything else. Incidentally I was (and still am) a big fan of Tom Clancy, so I mourn his loss along with so many other readers all over the world.

Anyway, I have a background working in information technology for over two decades, so writing a novel that incorporates some of that experience was bound to come along. I've also had a longtime interest in international politics (perhaps one reason I enjoyed Clancy so much). Anyway, the way it worked out Cybersp@ce turned out to be a chance for me to bring my love of science-fiction, my fascination with politics, and my IT experience together in one novel.

In terms of the next two novels in the series, Frontiers and New Beginnings, I don't really recall plans for writing a sequel to Cybersp@ce, at least not until I was nearly finished with the first draft. as I wrote the last few chapters, I guess I saw an opportunity to continue the story line in a new, and different direction.
With Frontiers and New Beginnings, the series takes on a much more science-fiction flavor, compete with space travel,alien species, and alien planets.

The Cybersp@ce Series follows the Reynolds family from generation to generation a a turning point in history for the human race time when the Earth is on the verge of interstellar flight.The protagonist in Cybersp@ce is Nick Reynolds, a former NSA analyst turned Cyber Command. His son, Hank, is the protagonist of the next novel in the series, Frontiers, while Nick's granddaughter, Nicole, is the protagonist in New Beginnings, the third in the series.

I hope you enjoy Cybersp@ce.
