Black Vault
Take a nearly dead burn victim. Infuse her with nanotech that rebuilds her body, and then give her a semi-sentient, implanted quantum bio-computer named Malacai, which bestows her with amazing powers and keeps her enhanced body systems working together. In short, an unstoppable assassin. Good, right? Until everything begins to fall apart.
While on a mission, Gillian Moon discovers she was designed to die. Not quickly and not for a while but it is only a matter of time. Her mentor, Rufus Manus, a multi-genius level scientist and the inventor of the bio-computer in Gillian, is also dying – of late-stage Parkinson’s.
The solution for both is to find the one individual in a world of seven billion who can unlock the key to both Gillian’s and Rufus’ diseases. Problem is this person is not aware of the massive power they wield. In fact, most times they don’t even know their own name.
Rufus and Gillian are chased by her former colleagues – the Special Talents Group – and a bulldog of a paramilitary commander named Cronyn who is tasked with finding Gillian, Rufus, and a mysterious, now-missing esper named Eden and bringing them all back to the hidden military base deep inside Mount Dolus – dead or alive.
“Black Vault” is a non-stop action romp with startling scifi concepts seamlessly melded in.
