Life isn't so terrible for newly-coined physicist Mira Verborgen when she's chosen for a cushy internship at CERN, located at the France-Switzerland border.
After all, she gets to work side by side with dreamy physicist, Giancarlo Colombo, and be on the cutting edge of the latest particle accelerator experiments...
That is, until she inadvertently becomes part of Dr. Orlov's bonkers plan for world domination. Instead of exploring her budding relationship with Giancarlo, their relationship is cut short-along with their material existence. Indeed, the pair develop a startling and powerful mutation... one that puts them in the crosshairs of Swiss, French, and American governments.
With CERN held hostage by Dr. Orlov and his rapidly growing powers, do Mira and Giancarlo have what it takes to own their own mutations and protect the free world before it's too late?
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: ★★★★★ "An international thriller adventure with twists, turns and challenges that will blow your mind. It's clever, it's brilliant, it's geeky. Every page is exciting. It's a rollicking international adventure thriller that's packed densely with science, superscience, science fiction, pop culture, humor and more twists and turns than I expected. It was ever so much fun to get inside the mind of a very intelligent protagonist who makes no apologies for a high IQ. And you'll meet great villains you will love to hate! I guess you might have to be on the smart side to understand some of the science concepts in this book, but even if you don't know what quantum physics is, the superheroine who uses her brainpower for good, not evil, is compelling and funny and just downright adorably smart. And you will be entertained and learn so much cool sciencey stuff if you read this book. This was a rollicking thrill ride! I hope it becomes a movie because it deserves it. When do we ever get such a brilliant heroine? What a treat!"
★★★★★ "This is probably the best superhero novel I've read in years and I've read a LOT of graphic novels and comic books. It's non-stop action almost from page one with a heroine whose snarky sense of humor at her situation kept me on the edge of laughter."
★★★★★ "This story has twists and turns you don't see coming at you and leaves you wanting more! The characters are amusing for sure. If you need to take a break for a few hours, this is your ticket for sure!"
★★★★★ "'Luke, ' says Yoda. 'Use the mass times the acceleration!' Do you find this as hysterically funny as I do? Welcome, fellow geek! You're in exactly the right place, because have I got a book for you. When we first meet Mira, she's a physics graduate student bemoaning the lack of men in her life. J.R. Rain, Kris Carey, and Matthew s. Cox have channeled Mira's voice into a hilarious blend of nerd, geek, and lovelorn scientist. I'd give it five stars, and urge them to hurry up with the sequel."
★★★★★ "Fresh, funny and fast-paced! I loved this story. It was a fun change of pace, like a dessert book after the meatier entrees of Sam Moon and
Winter Wind. Mira Verbogen is a graduate student, a little too brainy for her own good, who goes to Switzerland to study with a famous physicist, Dr. Orlov. He turns out to be crazy as a bat-literally. Her fellow student, Gianni, is a gorgeous sensitive Italian hunk, but he has a girlfriend-the icy Ingborg. Mira, Gianni and Dr. Orlov are caught in a laboratory accident, though one with a disastrous and very funny outcome, while touring the Swiss CERN reactor. I enjoyed the read; the story was a little like a summer vacation in Europe with a bright amusing friend to narrate her adventures."
