Chapter one in book one of the groundbreaking Lightning Brain action-adventure series that extrapolates the latest science, political intrigue, and contemporary lifestyles while tracing the twists and turns in the life of Electra “Kit” Kittner. She grows up in a frightened, intolerant America threatened by “Techno-Plague” and Middle East terrorism. The action builds relentlessly, from lighter childhood adventures to darker realities caused by America’s threats that are exacerbated by a harsh government that would treat her badly if it were to discover what she is.

"Put down weapon and praise Allah for deliverance. You are only survivor we find." These starting lines from chapter one launch Electra Kittner's relentless pursuit of known adversaries and her obsessive search for an unknown hacker-leaker, plunging our protagonist into danger on every action-filled step she takes in 3D and cyberspace. Will she emerge unscathed? You will know only when reaching the very last line, and even then, maybe not. You decide!

The lightning brain had been waging a life-or-death battle against the T-Plague virus for the past 24 hours.... The lightning brain had won, but victory came at a terrible cost; neural entanglement gravely crippled Electra's lightning brain. Book three picks up where book two's "Death Vigil" ends. The lightning brain must repair itself before Electra can rejoin the battle against the Techno-Plague, as well as contend with war raging in Cyberspace directed by a rogue Middle East state allied with China and Russia, all the while dealing with America's relentlessly harsh government.

Thus speaks the Irani-Electra duo at the start of chapter one. The duo is back in action and ready to reconstruct personal and professional worlds. But new challenges await.
