The Great Shift is coming...are you ready to Jump?

With Edgar Prince and the one world government imprisoned in limbo for the next one hundred years, a new Golden Age of eHumanity has begun. Evelyn Prince, the creator or Neuro and Edgar's daughter, joins Origen and the rebels to build a new world--where eHumanity will finally be free to live up to its potential. Adam and Dawn celebrate this victory in their own way, by setting out on a quest to find evidence that carbon-based humans might have survived the Great Shift.

The new leadership soon discovers that a free and open society means different things to different people--and that Neuro itself has its own agenda. When eHumans begin to die after plugging in to recharge, and Dawn goes missing while on her mission, Adam and Evelyn sense their father closing in on them from every side, and Origen knows that the game is up.

But Edgar Prince isn't the only one with many plans.

It seems that no matter how advanced civilization becomes technologically, there is still prejudice, fear, hatred and the need for supremacy. On the heels of eHuman Dawn, Nicole Sallak Anderson continues with the even more intense eHuman Deception where the eHumans seem to finally have the opportunity to grow and flourish.

Edgar Prince and the One World Government was defeated by the Resistance. Dawn and Adam assume Edgar is isolated in limbo, and the world is safe. Thus begins their search for humans hiding away from the atrocities committed by Edgar until Adam is called home on an important mission, a mission that holds deadly portent. What Dawn discovers as she becomes a captive of the humans is that they are a changed race, interconnected to a group consciousness and their supreme being, a female, who touts love, understanding and peace. The life of humans has been lengthened because all diseases have been genetically erased, their technology far more advanced than could be imagined, but something is not right.

Meanwhile, have the eHumans underestimated Edgar’s powers within the ether or has he allied himself with another longing for absolute control? Is there a traitor among the humans who has made a deal with the devil? Is there any way to bring true peace and trust between the races? The answer will astound you as Nicole Sallak Anderson threads another tale of intrigue in a future world where the other side of existence lives in a virtual world where pure carbon based beings may have outlived their time.

Believe in the fantastic, a future changed by technology and the quest for ever more powerful computers goes beyond our wildest imaginations and artificial intelligence is even becoming obsolete.

The virtual world may be in the distant future, but you can’t beat the talent of this very human author as she weaves a tale where the lines between humanity as we know it and humanity as it may become fuels even the most creative of imaginations! These beings become the Pinnochio to science's Geppeto as they learn the emotions of humanity.

eHuman Deception by Nicole Sallak Anderson is a well-crafted sci-fi action-adventure novel, the second of her eHuman Trilogy series that picks up where the first tale left off. Anderson’s storyline is based on an intriguing scientific premise, buffered by a solid cast of characters and energized by a fast-paced series of events that makes this a space opera you won’t want to miss.

Flattery will get you everywhere in my case. And in my case, the author created a Broadway Turk Superstar character named after my pro wrestling alter ego. The Turk is introduced as a wrestler who also does some extracurricular bodyguard work for a couple of the major protagonists in the novel. I suppose there’s something about having multiple personalities – indie author Rhoda D’Ettore had a John Reinhard in her book, Newborn Nazi. These characters exhibit an antihero quality that brings a gray area into stories that fundamentally discuss good vs. evil. And that’s great for reading audiences who may have trouble deciding where their own sentiments lie.

In this case, we find Edgar Prince and his One World Government engaged in a war of genocide against any and all who resist his authority. Of course, with humanity being as stubborn as oxen, his minions set out to annihilate all carbon-based life forms that stand against his dominion. As we saw in the first novel, the resisters are able to transcend their corporeal trappings by developing a form of eHumanity. This allows carbon life forms to translate into energy-based beings by harnessing their chi power. It’s a novel concept that we haven’t seen before, and Anderson may have locked into something unique within the overworked and often redundant sci-fi genre.

Back to the future – Dawn teams up with Adam Winter on a quest to see if any humans remain alive after Edgar Prince’s regime is overthrown. Only the general consensus is that Prince is alive and well somewhere as eHumans are winding up missing or dead with unsettling frequency. Evelyn Prince, Edgar’s rebellious daughter, realizes that her father is planning to regain control of the planet. Only her Collaborative Government finds itself in a race against time to uncover Edgar’s scheme. Adam is forced into an uncomfortable alliance with his rival Origen as they race to not only stop Edgar but to save Dawn when she becomes a prime target for the evildoers.

There’s plenty of sci-fi high-tech discussion on tap, along with some good old Shakespearean pathos and fast-paced action to keep even the casual reader turning the pages. For readers of all ages, eHuman Deception by Nicole Sallak Anderson is a worthy alternative to the latest Star Wars rehashes. It’s guaranteed to keep you locked in tighter than Broadway Turk Superstar’s patented Iron Deathlock.

If you like Science Fiction this is a book for you. I did not read the first book but the second picks up right after the first, so I was told. The characters are fighting to save the world and dealing with new technology. This will keep the reader captivated.
