Blayden Dunk, launching his cutting-edge space yacht—a fusion of luxury and nerd gaming showpiece—finds himself in a dangerous situation. The yacht, plagued by malfunctioning systems, collides with a freighter and performs an emergency jump, leaving both vessels stranded amidst the stars. The crash releases experimental nanites—tiny machines with unforeseen capabilities. Instead of repairing the damaged yacht, they consume its remains. The stranded group's survival hinges on turning the nanites into allies.
Cher, an independent colony spy, needs to learn the details of the Dunk plan. Working to protect her planet and learn the Dunk secrets, she discovers a Martian spy is also trying to learn the Dunk secrets. The missing yacht disrupts Cher’s mission and timeline.
When Blayden returns in a freighter instead of his yacht and the nanites are revealed, Cher must alter her plan and improvise quickly.
But who controls these powerful constructs? Are they the ultimate tools for construction, salvation for humanity, or an unstoppable weapon poised to alter the balance of power?
While confined at home during the pandemic, I decided to transform the ideas swirling in my head into written words, embarking on a journey as a novelist. I aim to provoke thought and offer new perspectives on the world through technology, hacking, mystery, and plot twists. I strive to create characters that speak like real people and make readers see things differently.
In my exploration of the craft of writing, I recognize that I have much to learn. I’ve immersed myself in countless articles, classes, and hours of video tutorials to make my stories matter. Through this journey, I’ve confirmed a few key principles: as a writer, you need to tell your story. Write every day, even if it’s just a small amount. Focus on your ideas and characters. Avoid unnecessary fluff, but include just enough to enrich your narrative. Ensure consistency in dates, facts, names, and other details.
With a foundation in engineering and an MBA, I have an insatiable thirst to understand how things work. I use these insights to convey technology and present concepts in new ways. I aim to captivate and enlighten my readers, offering them something novel and thought-provoking.
