Operation Black Moon
In the second volume of the NΛNOCHIP® Series, Chavez heroically sacrifices himself in an effort to get into Bastion, a municipal testing facility. He finds himself in a no-win situation and has to enact extreme measures blocking his recent memory tied to the Cyberwarfare department and its activiities. Roman wants to know who Chavez is and what is his mission, so he sends in Li Ding one of the leaders in the Five Families crime coalition to deal with him. Will her covert spycraft be Chavez's demise before he can be rescued?
Ren and Layla reunite in the most toxic of ways. Hannibal's extreme and questionable moral code comes to the forefront causing significant injury to Layla and jeopardizes the cover of their entire covert organization. Only when a monumental cyberattack comes crashing down on the world's banking infrastructure, will the team come back together for the cause of the common good.
In the end, the fate of Chavez could be in the hands of Pudge, who grows into his own when called upon to find Chavez and bring him back home. They'll never see him coming. If they do, it will surely be his end. How far will he go to protect himself and others he incorporates into his operation? It's a small world... Pudge is about ready to find out how small and brutal it really is.
Here are some excerpts from the upcoming book, "Operation Black Moon"
REN
"A person is forged by adversity and refined by the fire of struggle and failure. It’s who we are."
"In the end, the realization sets in. Victory was not achieved by overcoming the struggle. It was overcoming perspective on the struggle itself. When that happens, Destiny smiles."
Pudge
"While he was building his local empire, he knew Chavez was somewhere close by."
'I never thought I would be diggin’ a grave so soon. Pudge thinks to himself. I can see why my Uncle Barry had his people do this part of it.'
Pudge learned early on that fortune favors the bold. Lose your nerve or your cool; you’re as good as dead in the streets. It’s time to put Layla’s lessons to work. It’s time to claim his uncle’s place in the grand scheme of things. He may have no other choice.
Family… Ride or Die… Bree…
LAYLA
"After all the years she worked for their team, doing things no one else could do. She helped to save lives and made the world safer from people being hurt by abuse, prostitution, narcotics, and more. This was the treatment she got coming back in."
First Bree, now Chavez. Their light in the world should not have been put out. The world needs their light. I need it.' Layla says to herself.
“We had some good times, didn’t we? Nothin’s fair in this world, neither. All a man can do is take or be taken.” Carlos slowly reaches down inside his waistband for his weapon.
The crowd lights up now as Pudge continues his speech. Some of them are moving back and forth like a fighter being introduced before a prize fight.
"Ride or die, boss. Ride or die. That’s who we are."
You can stay down and let them beat you or rise and dish out what’s being taken.
Li Ding
“I'm your doctor, Chavez. You can call me Li. I heard you like to keep things pretty informal.” Li smiles a cynical grin, waiting for him to reply.
Li Ding, the covert warrior, is trained just for this situation and is motivated to prove her worth to the Five Families. This will be her test to prove her family's great worth to their coalition and legitimize her leadership since taking over for her belated father.
Li knows her job is to keep his interest by pulling away some of the time and then leaning in with the subtlety only a seductress knows.
Leroy - Leader of the Dark Lords
Now is my time. The work will illuminate the nuances, complexities, subtleties, and more with the deepest level of understanding and skill dedicated to my craft.
We’re going to burn the whole house down. The castle of cards will fall to innumerable pieces of barely salvageable scraps.
It’s time for something new. Something better. Something made for the new millennium that AI will usher in. It’s a holy calling to tear down the world so we can rebuild it better than it was before. The Phoenix will rise, but first, it must die. From destruction to chaos. From chaos, order. A more robust order of things. A new world order that will last forever.
ROMAN-AI
“Roman-AI, can you either confirm or deny that you have not violated consumer privacy rights either before or after you were involved in resolving the recent cyberattack.”
The room pauses waiting for Roman-AI to respond. Everything that transpired between Leroy and itself is all above Dr. Satoshi’s clearance level since Roman took over.
“I’m not authorized to answer such a question. I’m sorry Dr. Satoshi.”
