The Girl with the Lightning Brain, (Paperback)

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.
