Cyber Dawn

Ben survived cancer. That was the easy part.

After losing his leg to cancer and spending six years as a prototype in a top-secret cybernetic research program, seventeen-year-old Ben Raine is ready for a normal life. Now a junior in high school, it seems as though normal is just what he's going to get. He's met new friends, made the varsity football team, and even scored a date with the school's head cheerleader. But just as life is starting to look up, Ben hears four words that will change everything --

You never had cancer.

Determined to find out why, Ben hires Sarah -- a classmate who moonlights as a hacker -- to help him hunt down the truth. But when they get too close, they soon find themselves on the run from the police, the FBI, and a team of ruthless assassins. Caught in the middle of a murderous conspiracy, Ben and Sarah tap into the one thing that may save them -- Ben's cybernetic brain. But will it give them the advantage they need? Or cost them both their lives?

Note from the author:

CYBER DAWN is a story I've wanted to tell for a long time. Like Ben, I was diagnosed with cancer and had my right leg amputated when I was 11 years old. The nearly-sudden appearance of a golf-ball-sized tumor in my right knee always seemed suspicious. And while I have no evidence of foul play, that suspicion (and my love for science fiction) helped form the story behind CYBER DAWN.

Whether you're a teen or a grown-up, like myself, I hope you enjoy my debut young adult/new adult book. It will take you from the halls of high school to a top-secret corporate research lab and into the depths of cyberspace. With elements of computer hacking, cybernetic augmentation, corporate espionage, cyberpunk, and even a bit of romance, it's a fast-paced adventure you won't soon forget.
