Two Seconds Late

Microchips in Humans ... Life-saving Option? Or Dangerous Ploy? Natalie Flynn has faced fears of her own. Now, as she dates Reuben King, a powerful young politician, she is in position to influence his vote on a groundbreaking new bill that makes room for the microchipping of humans. She doesn't know, though, that others are also pulling strings, shaping a deadly conspiracy. In a modern spin on the biblical story of Esther, Natalie's been raised up for "such a time as this." But in the race against time, is she already too late? Natalie Flynn, a minor character in One Step Away, takes the lead role. After a chance encounter at a summer festival, she starts dating a suave, young politician, Reuben King. Natalie has no idea Reuben is friends with some very dangerous people. These friends deal in information, and knowledge is their form of gold. Recent technological advances have allowed for widespread use of RFID tagging (radio-frequency ID), and Reuben's friends are growing richer by the day. To do so, though, they are endangering the lives of society's mentally and financially destitute. Two Seconds Late is a tale of modern characters faced with ethical and life-altering decisions. Natalie, in some parallels to the biblical story of Esther, has been positioned for "such a time as this," but every second counts, and already she may be too late. Human microchipping technology is a reality. Natalie Flynn finds herself entangled in a deadly conspiracy. Like biblical Esther, she has been positioned "for such a time as this."--Author's website, viewed May 17, 2012
