Curse & Quanta: The Enchanter's Theorem #2
Dark Lightning
Sabine Parsons is no longer an ex-codebreaker.
The intelligence fraternity has taken her back and she is once again code-named Oracle and in possession now of a power that makes her an Oracle in truth. No longer in the Cold and her controller, Edward Quintaine not even remotely dead, she's back in the thick of it where she absolutely does not want to belong. Her quiet life is well and truly over. Trying to escape the tightening grip of old/new affiliations, she heads to her father's house, intent on keeping her cover but also planning on making her escape back into the Cold. Except Michael Parsons is a mathemetician with ties to the Department of Defense and secrets of his own.
Hardly off the plane, the Waking Dream that now rides Sabine warns her of a danger on Mt. Rainier when she arrives in Washington State, pushing her even further back into the Game. Unable to ignore the insisting warning, she follows it, believing it will lead her to another piece of the puzzle and the second of a set of three mystical golden tablets and a way to stop the end of the World. Instead, Sabine finds herself dropped into an even greater mystery that involves her father and her own past as a ward of Special Projects. All while the Lodge of the Midnight Sun and Edward Quintaine's organization wage their secret war, seeking to find weaknesses in the others armor.
And in the end, everyone's secrets will be revealed.

About the author
Angela N. Hunt
15 books13 followersTrite as it is to start this way, but I was born in Livermore, CA, five miles outside the fence of the Lawrence Livermore Radiation Laboratory, where my father was a Physicist Technician under
Dr. Richard Feynman. Yeah. That Dr. Feynman.
I was an only child growing up, but I didn't stay that way. When I got older, I both discovered and aqcuired two sisters, but I'm still the youngest. Don't ask me how I managed that.
Physicist though he was, my father was also a photographer and a poet. I had to laugh at him when he wondered why I ended up as a creative and not as a physicist, when my earliest memories are of going through all the slides he took when he was in Korea.
I wrote my first story when I was 5 and it was about a telepathic horse and her girl.
My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic that I stole from my mother's desk drawer when I was 12. I bought my first Pentax K1000 when I was 14 and haven't looked back since.
At 15, I began painting.
I've picked up arts the way some people pick up bad habits, and for much the same reason: the deep satisfaction of them.
I haven't gone to school for any of it. They're just in me. I've learned technique from other professionals and other creatives, wherever I can find it, hell, off the graffitti I see in downtown LA.
Tell me your secrets.

Sabine Parson's is a young woman with strange powers. She is caught berween various factors that want to either use her or destroy her. In the struggle between good and evil she stands against the destruction of the world. An interesting read. Read this one during my lunch breaks but otherwise hard to put down. Free advance reading copy.
