Who survives? The Strong... The Wise... The Dangerous!
The Crash and Smash destroyed the most feared race in history. All but one.
Ri, the child warrior: Born of the shattered streets of Nara, Japan. Where books burn to heat the night.
The modern world: Ruled with the iron fist of the Second Human Genome Project.
Her rescue: Exposes humanity to the greatest warrior of the modern age. The likes of which it can no longer control.
Only one ever survived to cross THE NARA THRESHOLD.
“If this is the future of genetic engineering, and it’s one possibility, look out humanity.” -Dr. Thomas Hopp, former VP of Immunex Corp
Matthew Lieber (M.L.) Buchman, but my friends call me "Matt," has flipped fish, sold stereo equipment, rebuilt a 50' sailboat, and sung opera. He's worked in live theater, law, and been a computer nerd. He's bicycled solo around the world, made maps, and designed roof trusses, all in roughly that order. He is constantly amazed at what you can do with a degree in Geophysics.
He lives and writes in a solar-powered home of his own design on an island in the Pacific Northwest where he plays merrily with his wife, daughter, and a pair of very foolish cats who rather enjoy sitting on his manuscripts. Visit his site for more at http://www.matthewlieberbuchman.com/.
