The Augmented Man

Beschreibung

Nicholas Trailer is the last of The Augmented Men. The last of nine severely abused and traumatized children biogenetically engineered into super soldiers beyond anything ever conceived throughout all of history. These children, modified into monsters and each capable of executing the most horrifying deeds without feeling remorse or regret, are loosed upon the enemy to help the US win a war rampaging far longer than anyone believed possible. The war ended with Nick's team sacrificed to the enemy as part of the truce. His team tortured and killed in front of him, Nick alone escaped, returned home, and hid deep in the northern Maine forests. Until someone said, "I love you." But Nick's never been loved, doesn't know if he can even feel love, and for the first time since Augmentation is terrified the monster he is might destroy the woman who wants to teach him about love. Desperate for a solution, Nick seeks out his handlers. But his handlers thought him dead, gone, a bad memory, and no longer their concern. Nick surfaces and is quickly recognized as a threat to the government's clandestine Augmentation Program. Those in power give Nick's creator, Major James Donaldson, explicit orders: kill it before it kills again. Find out what happens when the ultimate weapon falls in love.

Autor

Joseph Carrabis is a master storyteller with a sharp sense of humor and linguistic expertise. Hailing from New Hampshire, USA, his passion for writing began at the tender age of seven while washing dishes with his older sister, Sandra. She'd read 'Mission to the Heart Stars' for a book report and shared her fascination and excitement over the story. Joseph, a plate in one hand and a dish towel in the other decided, "I want to give that to people." With a career deeply embedded in evolving technologies, Joseph served as Chief Research Officer, Chief Neuroscience Officer, and Senior Research Fellow at several institutions and agencies while earning numerous awards for his journalism and trade technical writing.Joseph refers to himself as boring - something loudly debunked by his readers and peers - and weaves wildly imaginative stories that dance on the boundary of the known and unknown sciences where natural, preternatural and supernatural intersect. Fans' comments regularly mention Carrabis' ability to bring together advanced mathematics, quantum physics, cybernetics, and neuroscience with believable multi-dimensional characters and spellbinding future technology. Joseph has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, recommended for a Nebula Award, and received an honorable mention in 'Writers of the Future'.
