    About this ebook

    "Betrayal. A harsh word.  The accusations from the pit plagued me, taunted me. My friends, Javan, David and Steven, lay helpless before me. Would a cock crow? I had not denied them. I was no Saint Peter. Nor had I identified them with a kiss and handed them over to be crucified. I was no Judas, either. But I had not helped them when I could have. Had I thought only of myself? Preserving my life at the cost of theirs?

    No, it wasn't about my life at all. The stakes were higher than mere life and death. The pit was eternal. And the pit called for souls..."

     

    And so the Elektra Voltare story continues in Elektra Voltare: Instrument of God.

     

    Having resisted the temptation to become Eve of the Memes, Elektra faces further perils as she journeys back to the safety of her monastery, including a brain-wiping meme named Michael and Agent Fox of the Ministry of Peace. But most terrifyingly, Ahkmed, the lightning hurling meme and his posse hunt for her, seeking to enslave her and use her powers to neutralize the weapons of their enemies, setting up a climactic final showdown and a surprising twist.

     

    Elektra Voltare is written as a series of episodes rather then constructed as a more conventional novel. The episodic structure allows for more character insights as the narrator reflects and places each episode into greater context. The structure is a blend of a conventional novel and a television series. That said, the episodes drive forward along a single greater story line as the story and character arcs play out over the three books.

     

    What are people saying aboutElektra Voltare?

    Here are some quotes from readers:

    "...a compelling protagonist and shades of 1984 and X-Men."

    "...the worldbuilding was fantastic."

    "The detail of the future and how the world got there was scarily plausible!"

    "The writing is really phenominal...almost poetic."

    Check it out, today

     

    A friendly reminder from the Ministry of Peace...

    The Ministry of Peace reminds all citizens that while fictional depictions of Persons of Enhanced Abilities (PEAs) and other memes are allowed in the mindstores, their existence, while within the reach of science, remains theoretical.

    Any sightings of actual events suggesting the true existence of PEAs, must be reported immediately to the Ministry of Peace, in accordance with the Seditious Meme Allegation Reporting and Tracking (SMART) act.

    NO ACTUAL PERSON OF ENHANCED ABILITY HAS EVER BEEN IDENTIFIED.
    As always, If you see something, say something.

    Reality Check: The warnings above are fictitious.

    Joseph Cillo, Jr.

    Joseph Cillo, Jr. passed through his early years of Christmas scoffing and bah-humbugging. The current story is in no way based on his personal journey. He has, however, emerged on the happy side of Christmas present, and hopefully, Christmases yet to come. He had a good share of Merry Friggin' Christmases, which he needs no Ghost of Christmas Past to help him revisit.
