(Warning: Spoilers ahead) Imagine a computer capable of running hundreds of simulated worlds populated by digital humans allowed to evolve in ways divergent from Earth. These digital humans have no idea that they are only programs, living simulated lives and observed by scientists from Earth Zero. Of course, the scientists from Earth Zero don't realize that they are only programs, living in a simulated world and supervised by employees of a corporation monitoring the programs for revolutionary technology, which they then market to the real Earth. This is Cyberdrome. Alek Grey is a programmer who specializes in preventing break-ins to secure systems. Unfortunately, Cyberdrome calls him in after their system has already been compromised by a rogue virus--inserted by technology developed by and stolen from Alek himself. An unlikely hero who doubts his own capabilities, Alek seems an odd choice to save Cyberdrome, but since his father and then his ex-fiancee are trapped in the simulation, unable to be removed from the interface without the danger of brain death, Alek has little choice if he hopes to save their lives. Cyberdrome is a "techno" science fiction adventure, but I have no background in digital simulations or computer programming, and I thoroughly enjoyed the novel. It is true that the first few chapters immerse the reader right away in the technical lingo of the book, but every science fiction or fantasy novel must introduce a unique setting, and I prefer this type of "world-building" to tedious explanations. I don't want the authors to hold my hand, and it's not necessary. Cyberdrome drops the reader in, much like it does Alek Grey, and you learn along the way. This novel reminded me of the earliest Foundation books by Isaac Asimov, with Alek's father using technology the way Harry Seldon used psychohistory to predict the course of human development, and the hundred simulated worlds of Cyberdrome replacing the galactic civilization of that SF classic. I highly recommend Cyberdrome for its fast paced plot, unique setting, varied characters, and original concept. Reviewed by Dianne K.

I posted this on the Amazon Blog a few weeks ago, but forgot to post it here. As a special "Thank You!" to all of our current fans and future readers, and after a full month of effort on my part, I finally managed to get the retail price for the paperback version of Cyberdrome dropped from $15.95 to $14.95, and the Kindle version from $9.99 to $7.99. In addition, Amazon decided to give you an extra bonus on the Kindle version by taking an additional %20 off the list price, dropping the purchase price to only $6.39! We don't know how long this extra savings will last, so if you own a Kindle, now is the time to buy.
