Eyes And Knives
Eyes And Knives is an action-filled satire based around the activities of a criminal organisation called StarMarket Systems and the government agency trying to expose them.
The Research &
Development team at StarMarket Systems have come up
with a new technology, through genetic manipulation, to give animals
indefinite lifespans. The week before they're due to launch their new
product, called PermaPets, a member of their Senior Management Team
commits suicide during a board meeting.
Before he's even hit the
ground, a witness abandons her baby and goes off roaming the city
streets, until she collapses the following morning with no memory of
what she'd been doing.
Both StarMarket Systems and the government agency discover that a
strange force is taking control of people and wreaking havoc throughout
the city, moving from person to person whenever it wants a new
"vessel". The two organisations attempt to capture this force while at
the same time waging war against each other.
The action revolves around a local police department, the Senior
Management Team of StarMarket Systems, and a group of secret agents
from the government, all of whom are hoping to use the "possessor" for
their own gains but would settle for being alive at the end of the week.
It's a fast-paced novel filled with action, mystery, sex, violence and
betrayal.
