The Daughter of the Lightning Brain begins sixteen years after Erin Keenan's car plunges off a Manhattan bridge into the Hudson River. Did that end Electra Kittner's extraordinary Odyssey?
Only a year earlier, Indira the Singularity had bought Erin back after twenty years in a suspension pod, a necessity to keep her alive after a catastrophic accident. Indira needed Erin to facilitate projects of mutual interest.
Erin's demise leaves a gaping hole that Indira needs to fill with the best mere mortal available. And who might that be? Perhaps a daughter, coming from the lineage of Electra Kittner, whose near-fatal lightning strike at birth created the lightning brain. And after sixteen years of preparation, using her beyond state-of-the-art suspension pod, cloning, Transcendence Processing -- all of which accelerated Erika's upbringing by android caregivers -- Indira is
ready to launch Erika Kincaid into the 3-D World, expecting her to be Indira's human assistant.
But Erika must first discover who she is, what abilities she has, and what she wants to do. These are challenges all adolescents face but made even more complex for Erika because Indira has restricted her exposure to people and environments in a dangerous and uncertain 3-D World.
So, please join Erika as she begins her Odyssey, learning what expectations she might accomplish for others while learning about herself, America, and the timeless beauty of human compassion, which enriches all relationships.
As in all previous books, readers should enjoy The Daughter of the Lightning Brain at whatever level they wish:
- 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-bites
So, get ready to empathize with young Erika as she explores her new world, a challenge we have all faced in our earlier years.
