ENIGMA: The Belt Book Four
On the eve of her twenty-third birthday, Luca Lee-McNabb learns from the quantum intelligence Athena that she must flee Earth to escape the VanHeilding family, who seek her unique biology, and try to reach New World One despite the risks. To survive, she must confront her greatest fear: jacking into the data-grid and battling the Node Runners, risking brain death to avoid being a subject in a VanHeilding genetics lab.


EXODUS: The Belt Book Five
Luca, traumatized by the battle for New World One, has fallen into a catatonic state, while Scott and Miranda grapple with the threat of a new VanHeilding assault and consider fleeing to Mars. Meanwhile, another individual sharing Luca's unique biology could be the key to her recovery, but she must first confront the demons in her mind and accept her potential as a threat to humanity.


EMERGENCE: The Belt Book Six
In the escalating asteroid belt conflict, Luca collaborates with the quantum intelligence Athena on Earth to dismantle the VanHeilding family's power, while Miranda, Scott, and Cyrus are drawn into the resistance against the Xiang Zu Corporation in Elektra, involving a stolen QI. Luca faces a critical showdown with an army of node-runners on New World One, a battle she knows is to the death, with the fate of humanity hinging on the outcome.

About The Belt Series:The story is set a few centuries into the future where humanity has colonized most of the inner solar system. The asteroid belt (The Belt) is now a hive of mining activity and ships ply the trade routes to Earth and Mars. The technology depicted is, for the most part, what I consider to be technically plausible, although I do stretch it a little with quantum intelligence (QI). That said, you won’t need a calculator or a slide-rule to enjoy the story.
