I'm sorry that this chapter is hyper-technical but I'm exploring real and acheivable technology that heralds a cyborg-revolution in the near future and lays the foundation for the next four books especially Book and Golem (with a nod to the Shirow's Ghost in the Shell anime series) .

On the industrial estate sits the cyber-arm of the House which is the Book - a vast real-time interactive system, almost an artificial intelligence, that was set the task of absorbing and processing every philosphy, science and religious text ever written - the Great Synthesis - just as the former Masonic cult, the House of all Faith, is absorbing 'the best' of every other religion on the planet with runaway success. Design requires Balance so as the CP and the Foundation grow to challenge the House then the Magnus Libris evolves to challenge the Book which, with its programmers, is now working on the mathematical proof of the existence of God: the Great Revelation but even in the House, there is treachery and across the Valley lives the seer Siobhan O'Grady who has the power to influence the future and thus affect the algorithms of the Book - the psychic spanner in the cyber-works....(first edit 15 june 2010) (91 reads) Read More... | 1 comment | Fiction | Rating: 0  Fiction: - Bk05-CH10: Dead-Eye - by pdemitchell (2779 words) - Date online (26-04-2010) Critique/comments welcome Heather Sifford is a nu-goth 'cross-over' from an alternative reality - a living replacement for the dead daughter of Mike Sifford the council Leader and Friend of the prophets. Such is media and political hostility to the Lewis family and their friends that they require round-the-clock protection. Heather's irritating teenage slang or 'sprack' is Germanic [fuzzlet - young male idiot; zecking - sucking blood like a tick; alties - old folk; crumple - from mein Kumpel or best female friend; mausing - spending money; VDH - Voll der Hammer - wicked hit (hammer) and click for clique or band]. The Citizens Party is rising fascist party capitalising on resentment to the House of all Faith and fear of the 'freaks' - the Lewises - that the House reveres as Prophets...

The sudden return of Tamsin Lewis, supposedly dead for two years, is like a pebble triggering a landslide of emotion and the fear of the 'freaks' is fuel to the fascists' fire. This near-future world is also beset by high levels of UV radiation and drug-resisitant plagues - such as th einevitable (in my view) necrotising pneumonia threatening Paris...

Jillsy Stoker was the partner of Thomas Lewis and both are deeply revered by the House of All Faith. Jillsy and Amy (Thomas's daughter) share a unique gift - they can proactively alter the biorhythms of those around them be it to happiness or taking them through to the point of unconsciousness or even death. Thomas Lewis actually expired at the end of Book Three but when dying in the Domain, a place where time has no meaning, he reached forth and saved his niece....
