Description
Life was good for New Yorker Cindy Ames. Sure, her husband’s top secret weapons projects were a little… weird, but at least her career as a gymnastics instructor didn’t involve any covert government contracts. Cindy’s life was peaceful. That is until she snuck into her husband Jonas’ lab after hours. What began as an innocent curiosity catapults her life into an exciting thrill ride, as Cindy accidentally merges with Jonas’ prototype nanosuit. Like a teenager stealing her parents’ car for the night, Cindy becomes an armored super heroine known as The Silver Ninja or so she thought... She soon discovers that the suit is not at all what it appears to be. As it secretly blurs the line between good and evil, Cindy unknowingly becomes more aggressive, violent and apathetic to the world around her. Cindy becomes her own worst enemy as she plummets into a downward spiral of psychological oblivion. To make matters worse, she must prevent a violent coup d'état from erupting in New York City. Cindy will have to suit up and fight through an avalanche of futuristic weaponry to stop more innocent lives from being lost. But can she overcome her personal demons before becoming the villain? Will Cindy be able to save herself in time to save her family?
Advance Praise
"She's not super human; she's a super heroine.
The Silver Ninja is an exciting thrill ride that's going toshatter the stereotypes by revealing the character's vulnerability
while still emphasizing the strength of a woman." - Wilmar LunaReviews (snips of reviews)5.0 out of 5 stars A excellent read... February 3, 2013By SirJiggles80Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified PurchaseNot a big reader, or a good book reviewer. I'm pretty picky, and it's hard for me to find a book that I just can't put down. Typically I read one of two chapters and lose interest. This book held my interest and I couldn't wait to finish it.4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant surprise!! January 16, 2013By Kirsys_DLSFormat:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified PurchaseThis is not the type of genre I typically read. For my pleasure, my head is usually into romance novels but this book was a drastic but pleasant surprise. I found myself not wanting to put the book down. It had me intrigued from the first few paragraphs. I wanted to know how everything was going to unfold. The action was dead on, it had its comedic moments, and the sibling rivalry was realistic.Bottom line, coming from a person that's never really paid attention to Sci-Fi, action, comic type books...THIS IS PRETTY GOOD!! Definitely recommend. Fun read!
4.0 out of 5 stars Great, innovative ideas in an exciting package! February 4, 2013By David J. GiuffreFormat:Paperback|Amazon Verified PurchaseI am a big fan of cyberpunk and near-future writing, and have consumed many different novels from Gibson to Sterling to Simmons. This is the author's first book, and I was frankly surprised by the number of original sci-fi ideas that were packed into this exciting novel. The book grabs you from the first few pages, and doesn't let go. It is a quick read, primarily because you are dying to see what happens next.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a rollicking-good actioner with strong sci-fi and action hero elements in it. The lead is a satisfyingly strong and intelligent female with a dense backstory. You will be left wanting a sequel for sure!
