Book Description:
After the sudden deaths of two
previous Computer Love Inc. CEOs, Marius takes control of the company.
Embracing the talents of his godson, John, and his best friend, Zak, he hires
the boys to oversee the Companion Services Division.
Marius refines his breakthrough
technology, the Brain Machine Download, and as a result, creates his double,
M2, as the prototype. Together, they ignite the future of Computer Love Inc. by acquiring an
elite team of scientists to expand the company’s technological boundaries. Meanwhile,
Marius struggles with the government’s demands for a clandestine initiative -
the Secret Service Companion.
Between the looming government
presence and the overwhelming force behind his new team of inventors, can
Marius survive the outcome of his own creations?
Excerpt:
The
wave was perhaps the greatest in height they’d ever seen. Later, John was sure they’d recount it as
being of tidal proportions, hyperbolic as they always were when it came to
surfing expeditions. But in truth, he
wasn’t even sure how to approach its vastness; he caught the edge of the big,
rolling force in an awkward, unbalanced maneuver, yet he evened himself out at
once, rising up into a standing position, and coming through the tube with
precision.
Zak
waited for John to reach their squatting spot once again, then greeted him with
a seated bow from atop his board.
“Nicely done. But that was great
luck, catching a swell that size. Next
one’s mine.”
They
didn’t have to wait long. The pair
ignored a series of smaller waves that rolled past (though, by a normal day’s
standards, they would have been worth riding), until a massive upsurge formed
within the surf, collecting all of the surrounding water to join its force. Zak was gone before John could give him any
encouragement.
John
held up his unit, readying its hologramera to capture Zak’s performance. He pressed “record,” but then, a loud beep
emanated from underneath him, coming from his surfboard. The sonar screen at the top of his board lit
up, depicting a large incoming vessel approaching Zak’s position. John looked up again, but noticed that Zak
was alone - there were no other surfers or boats nearby.
