The Pedestal
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Wilson Abby's life as a carefree programmer has reached a crossroads. Since birth, Wilson has known unconditional comfort and security in a global super-community. Thanks to the planet's NEXUS framework, instant gratification is a mere transaction away. But when his closest friend mysteriously turns up dead, Wilson suspects that not all is as it seems.
Peeling back a veneer of half-truths, Wilson makes a startling discovery-one that people will kill to bury, starting with Wilson's coworkers and loved ones.
As deadly forces close in, Wilson has no choice but to abandon his home for the seclusion of an off-planet research base. There, far from the probing gaze of the NEXUS, a beautiful scientist is busy playing God-with monstrous consequences.
The Pedestal is a thrilling glimpse into a society madly infatuated with integration and endless consumer upgrades. Wilson must battle gangsters, conspiring politicians and hordes of flesh-eating creations before civilization is toppled from its pedestal.

Notă biografică
Daniel Wimberley is a professional web developer, moonlighting writer and self-proclaimed voice of the dork. Well, the voice of a dork, anyway. He isn't smart enough for the fraternity of nerdhood, yet he's helplessly drawn to it like an ewok to the Starship Enterprise.
Daniel lives with his wife and children in northeastern Oklahoma. He enjoys website development and integration, application development, audio and video production and a host of similar pastimes that are sure to lull you to sleep.
