The Girl With The Lightning Brain

This action-adventure thriller, laced with terrorism and political intrigue, constructs from the latest technological and sociopolitical trends one plausible scenario resulting from a viral pandemic occurring early in the 22nd century, all seen through the microcosm of an extraordinary female-eighteen-year-old Electra Kittner. As it traces her growth, the book explores some of the timeless questions that are part of the human condition. The novel's theme reveals that no matter how extraordinary the person, anyone can be a victim in a primitive world that can't handle the truth, and must deal with the complexities of being "merely human," best handled with an optimistic and pragmatic philosophy.
