• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An alien war. An environmental cataclysm.
One man's quest for redemption.

Joshua Kaine, a genetically engineered supervillain, undergoes surgical rehabilitation and is placed in the care of overzealous FBI agent Iris Halstrom. Iris would rather put a bullet in his head than see him go free on a technicality, and Joshua thinks that's pretty much what he deserves.

Joshua can't atone for his sins while chained to a desk job. He buys a bicycle, ditches Iris, and sets off to find salvation. Along the way, he's judged by the color of his skin, harassed by police, and assaulted by racists.

When a terrorist blows up bridges over the Mississippi, jeopardizing America's fragile recovery, Joshua agrees to spearhead the reconstruction effort and vows to catch the saboteur. Can he do both before the villain strikes again? And when he catches the terrorist, can he convince her to change sides or will she kill him instead?

Set immediately after the events in Recalled to Duty

Autorenporträt

Louis Lamoureux attended Stevens Institute of Technology on the banks of the Hudson River. The New York skyline inspired a short story about cartoon heroes from his childhood. The story was archived on a hard drive and life moved on. After graduation, he co-founded a company selling engineering design software in the Mid-Atlantic region. When his failing kidneys made it difficult to work, he sold his half of the company and rode a bicycle to alleviate the side effects.
His health declined gradually until his blood was poison. After years of declining health, a kidney transplant, donated by his mother, instantly restored his health and he felt like Superman. While recuperating from surgery, Superman saw the Race Across America on TV and vowed someday to compete in the race. Superman signed up for a transcontinental bike tour averaging over a hundred miles a day. Nine months after surgery, and a month after losing the feeling of being able to outrun a speeding bullet, Lou rode from Seattle, Washington to Williamsburg, Virginia.
Several years later, Lou competed in the Race Across America with three cool guys, they crossed the country in 7 days 14 hours and 39 minutes. He attempted the race solo twice.
His transplant failed in 2008 and Lou opted for dialysis treatments, an ugly primitive ritual that drained his soul and left him feeling hollow and angry. Having grown accustomed to spending hours on his bike roaming the countryside, imprisoning him in a chair three times a week for dialysis was torture. He needed to move, but couldn't. He stumbled upon that old story on his hard drive and jumped inside.
In 2010, dialysis became increasingly painful. His sister donated a kidney to save his life.
Louis Lamoureux lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and four children.
