1. Nanostealth series
I recently watched the James Bond movie, “No Time to Die.” The evil weapon in this movie? Heracles, a DNA-based bioweapon containing nanobots that could target specific people, nationalities, even families.
Child’s play!
Without giving away too much?
What if nanorobots were far more than mechanical devices. What if, let’s say, Artificial Intelligence doesn’t come in the midst of massive supercomputers, but rather in nanoscopic clouds that could symbiotically survive in… a human being? What if this cloud could provide superhuman capabilities to its host? What if world-wide evil forces, known and unknown, understood that this technology could result in world domination? Last question: What if God had a higher perspective and purpose?
Years before “No Time to Die” was released, author Vikki Kestell began an epic SciFi series written from a Christian perspective. The six-book series just concluded with release of #6 in June 2022.
How to best define the genre? Paramilitary? Political? Prophetic? Romantic? Thriller? All of the above, and far more!
For your part, carefully note each character throughout the entire series. You will meet them again! Watch for twist, turns, collisions… Oh, never mind watching. Just keep your seat belt securely fastened!
Enjoy!
2. Laynie Portland series
I wasn’t a fan of spy stories. Not until I started reading Vikki Kestell’s “Laynie Portland” series!
Couldn’t put them down.
I started with Vyper, the last in the series, because the cyberwarfare aspect intrigued me. I am SO glad I then tried the original “Spy Rising” novel. What a solid story! Had to binge-read the rest!
Vikki’s attention to detail, relatable characters, and realism “put you there.” You will KNOW these characters. Or, at least, think that you do; pay careful attention all the way through, as the character arcs don’t necessarily lead where you might expect.
Do yourself a favor. Read these. And another recommendation? Ensure that you are well-rested before you start!
