Near
future. Angela Kapp struggles with her past. Working remotely from an isolated
cabin in a dead-end customer support job, she drinks too much and spends her
days avoiding the world. But while on shift using a visual-interpretation
headset to assist a blind person, the cynical loner is horrified when she
virtually experiences the other woman’s gruesome slaying.
Shocked
the next day when she recognizes the killer closing in on a second sightless
client, Angela shouts for the software engineer to run. And after learning that
he and the first victim are connected by a soon-to-be-released teleportation
innovation, she convinces him to go to ground in her secluded home… only to
become a target herself.
Can
her paranoia and his unexpected skills thwart a sinister plot?

EXCERPT
“Hurry!” Angela called, attempting to take in everything as
fast as possible. She had to guide JT safely through the T station. Rushing
around close to fast-moving trains wasn’t safe for a fully sighted, agile
youth, let alone a blind man like him.
JT hurtled down the stairs, making the image on her screen
dim as he left the bright sunlight into the poorly lit subway. The staccato of
the drums outside echoed against the concrete stairway and competed with her
chest’s pounding.
Despite all the talk of upgrades to the T system, trains
still screeched and rumbled below, their wheels and brakes protesting the rapid
stops and starts.
Suddenly she was back in her nightmare.
Running through the night, flashes of light everywhere,
rumbling and shattering the air.
“Angela!” JT yelled as he stumbled into someone when he
reached the first landing, nearly falling from the collision and losing his
white cane.
She snapped back. Aghast she had lost focus at a critical
moment, she said, “Sorry. Another flight in two. You’re clear.”
As JT hurried down those stairs, she added, “After the next
landing, one more flight, then straight to the fare gate.”
Biting her lip, she concentrated on her screen. She would
not screw up again. “Okay, now straight,” she instructed as he reached the next
landing.
But instead of going straight, he leapt sideways.
Abruptly everything turned black on Angela’s display.
“JT!” she screamed.
For the second time in eighteen hours, her view had
disappeared.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Marc Wayne
writes thrilling sci-fi mysteries. After publishing 8 novels in another genre under
a different name and having several best-sellers, he has turned to his first
love: sci-fi.
His years of
marketing leadership positions in Silicon Valley honed his writing skills and
sense of humor. Writing fiction was part of Marc’s everyday work for many
years—these were just called ads, emails, and other marketing materials.
To Marc, it
often felt like he was living at the intersection of technology and the future,
where things you dreamt about could often become possible. After that, writing
near-future sci-fi hasn’t felt like such a stretch.
