Now, companies and governments are killing people to find and keep the secrets that will guarantee supremacy for the next century. Jezebel needs to adapt fast if she's going to survive success.(Contains portions of the previously e-published novella "the Icarus Transformation")From the AuthorA lot of fun to write -- sex, drugs, rock and roll, with top secret alien conspiracies in the background. The characters ignored my attempts to move along with "and the next week," because they had issues they wanted to resolve. I felt like I just sat back and listened to my wife dish to her best friend from college--with world destruction and paranormal abilities thrown in. Jezebel Johnson is a strong female character who even the author couldn't push into a sex scene until after she was married. My favorite unexpected scene is where her famous actor husband (Hollis) gets called Mr. Johnson by one of her fans.If I had known this was going to be a series, I would have split this book in two when the Icarus device is introduced. I had no idea at the time, however, that it would spend months on the Amazon top High Tech list. I just sent book three to the proof readers and have the outline for four. This one is my wife's favorite, and she's never wrong.About the AuthorScott Rhine reads voraciously and enjoys spending time with his family, writing, and solving puzzles. As a computer programmer for the last two decades for major corporations and universities, he holds several patents. Views: 11
