My debut Novel in a series of 3 books to be released. Being the critic I am with sci fi, I wanted to create an adventure that would inspire those of us who like futuristic environments and situations. Zarya is all about  advanced civilization. More than just flying cars and drones and super advanced worlds. But fast paced adventure.

The book touches on advanced computer systems that run networks of military and civilian planetary systems. The main character, Zarya, is a young teenage computer coder from a small town just outside of the main city “New Cebrenia. She has ears like and elf, a long tail, and an eye piece that helps her communicate with her airboard “Sochi”. Her eyepiece can also control other systems. As you might have guessed, this unwittingly makes her a threat to those in control. Her talent would need to be tamed. Silenced. But perhaps she’s just too smart for that! 

She could never have imagined she’d build one the most advanced AI systems on the planet. She was just doing what she’s good at. In the process she finds many dark secrets about her world as well as the work her father was involved in. Not a spoiler! Her father helped develop many of the energy cells that power the Planet. But that’s about as much as I’ll tell you without spoiling anything!!

Cydnus is an advanced desert planet with drones and flying killing machines. Buildings that claw high into the sky. Everything is under surveillance and everyone is controlled by this system. It’s a fact, the way of life, and no one dares question it.M

That is, until Zarya’s father confronts Gerik, the planet’s sadistic, chief military officer. Immediately, he’s silenced and never heard from again.

In a desperate search to find her parents, Zarya uncovers a plot by Gerik to release a lethal weapon against the people, killing half the population. The weaker half with inferior DNA. Using her father’s research and detailed specs of the technology used by the military, she is Cydnus’s only hope.

Equipped with Sochi, her AI-powered flying airboard, and accompanied by her high school friends, Zarya sets out on a journey to find her family, stop Gerik, and save her home from certain destruction.
