Caretaker
Like millions of American children, Philip Newcomen has been orphaned by the deadly Ataxia Nervosa pandemic that ravages the world. Now a ward of the state, Philip lives in The Dream House Orphanage in Chama, New Mexico, and takes on the role of guardian for eleven mysteriously gifted children who possess a second neural network as a side effect of a nanotech-based Ataxia cure. Caretaker follows the life of Philip and the group of child prodigies as they grow older, fall in love, and help found the technologically innovate Hogan Hill, a conclave of hippie drifters who hack society.
Eventually, Philip finds himself involved with the Native American Mafia, the world’s largest mercenary army, hypsie hackers, street vigilantes, and the most powerful corporation on the planet, Paradigm Nanosystems. Following the same unique story telling as its predecessor (Chama, NM), Caretaker follows a different character each chapter, viewing Philip’s growth from the outside. As he matures, a world of amazing technology (from a nocturnal virtual reality called Dreamspace to nanotech-based bio-hacks) matures around him, thanks to the gifted orphans he now calls his family.
Caretaker is the second novel in the innovative Sixth Paradigm Series. 10% of all novel proceeds will go to scholarships for Navajo students.
