Smooth writing and a fast-moving plot make Dragon Variation by T. Aaron Cisco a great summer read. This short, dark fiction story places two main characters on paths of unavoidable conflict. One is a soldier in a human enhancement suit. The other has incredible fighting speed, agility and is nearly indestructible. The dystopian world around them is as interesting as the characters themselves. Definitely going to keep my eye on this author. If you like this, you'll also want to check out Teleportality by T.
