Erik from Break Even Books asked me to join to the tour. This title sounded cool and I had to join in. This is a near-future sci-fi novel that follows a flying cab driver that ends up on the life-or-death situation as he uncovers a conspiracy that breaks the power structures in this scifi world. Now on to the synopsis.

Author Bio: David M. Kelly writes fast-paced, near-future sci-fi thrillers with engaging characters, cynical humor, and (mostly!) plausible science. He is the author of the Joe Ballen series, Logan’s World series, and the Hyperia Jones series, and has been published in Canadian SF magazine Neo-opsis. David’s interest in science and technology began early. At the age of six his parents allowed him to stay up late into the night to watch the television broadcast of Neil Armstrong stepping on to the surface of the moon. From that day he was hooked on everything related to science and space. An avid reader, he worked his way through the contents of the mobile library that visited his street, progressing through YA titles (or “juveniles” as they were known back then) on to the classics of Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Harry Harrison. David worked for many years in project management and software development. Along the way his interests have included IPSC combat (target) pistol shooting, crew chief on a drag racing team, and several years as bass player/vocalist in a heavy rock band. He also managed to fit in some real work in manual jobs from digging ditches and assembly line work to loading trucks at a haulage company. Originally from the wild and woolly region of Yorkshire, England, David emigrated to Canada in
2005 and settled in Northern Ontario with his patient and supportive wife, Hilary. Foot surgery in 2014 temporarily curtailed many of his favorite activities – hiking, camping, piloting his own personal starfighter (otherwise known as a 1991 Corvette ZR-1). But on the plus side, it meant a transition from the world of IT into life as a full-time writer—an opportunity he grasped enthusiastically. David is passionate about science, especially astronomy and physics, and is a rabid science news follower. Never short of an opinion, David writes about science and technology on his blog at
davidmkelly.com. He has supported various charity projects such as the Smithsonian’s Reboot
the Suit and the Lowell Observatory Pluto Telescope Restoration. He also contributes to citizen
science projects such as SETI@home.
