This one had me confused most of the way through, but that’s not hard to do. Heliotrope appears to be tying all the books together. Charles and Jere Verner start their life together very much in love, both are scientists, and working on their own projects. When Jere is dying with cancer, Charles has a plan to preserve her by combining her with AI technology. I won’t go into detail here, because I would mess it up. Needless to say, the author knows what he’s talking about and that’s good enough for me. The story was slow in spots, especially the trial, but it works well, regardless. I was happy to see Winter Balefire and Zuni in the story. Fans of DNA science and robotics will undoubtedly find this story hard to put down. Must I say more? Highly recommended.

Judging a Book by its Content
The trial of the century in an advanced year takes place in Texas. Chief defendant, Jere Verner, self-appointed “Digital Messiah” faces a serious charge—that of controlling humanity via optical devices, Chillaxifan, compliance microchips, and Vit Bits. Mrs. Verner has the transhuman world on a string, vis a vis purple gel containing over 9 billion different DNA strands.
In my judgement, CG Blade effectively strings the reader along on a high-tech, sci-fi scenario. Through subtle innuendos and wry humor, his story unfolds an extreme view of technology running amok whereby humanity becomes its own worst enemy.
A thought-provoking read!

CG Blade is a literary genius. If you like futuristic, sci-fi thrillers full of cyborgs, sarcasm and pop culture references then you will not only love these books but the entire series. If you haven't read them, start with Cobalt, Crimson and Emerald, the first 3 books in the series. I've read them all & I'm foaming at the mouth waiting to read his next installment from the Pseudosynthpress Universe, Indigo. I plan on reading every book he writes. He's that good and you won't regret reading his books.
