\Cloud
Coming soon. The first instalment in a dynamic
Sci-fi Action trilogy.
In a world devastated by the Big Freeze, Alister receives a one word phone
call from his mother, a nano-scientist who'd disappeared eleven years earlier.
Setting out to find her, the last thing he expected was to get on the wrong side
of cyber-militants, end up as the Secret Services most wanted, and top the
death list of a ruthless private army. And that's just day one!
Truth is, being on the run from a bunch of secret agents, mercenaries
and hackers is the least of his problems. The nanoparticles in his system
are messing with his brain chemistry and driving an addiction to
dangerously crazy stunts when things get tough.
It looks like his journey across Europe and over to Toronto is going
to be pretty scary; not to mention the little matter of an urban war
zone to get through if he does make it to Toronto in one piece.
Nanopunk science fiction by Nathan McGrath
Purely Science Fiction?
Not Quite.
The technologies are all based on work currently underway in research labs
across the world. What's science fiction in '\Cloud' is already moving
towards a reality.
Cyber-activist groups come in all shapes and sizes. For example the Anonymous
group are not science fiction.
The recent hacks in Sony, Codemasters and IMF are testament to the
sophistcation of hackers and the lengths they'll go to.
The 'Fiction' part of science fiction in The Cloud series is
just seasoning on technology being developed in labs even while
you are reading this. It won't be science fiction for much longer.
When Climate scientists are predicting winters are going to get
longer and colder and summers shorter and hotter, is a world
transformed by an ice age really Science Fiction?
I’m currently working on ‘Lightning
Seed’ the second instalment of the
Cloud trilogy that takes the science
fiction action in the Cloud series to
another level. |
