Mojac Pact -

. .

Résumé :
Humankind survived its brush with extinction by a brutal, viral plague five hundred years ago. The foundations supporting this surprisingly swift recovery have been the Committee's global rule and the stabilizing protection offered by the heavily armored, airborne soldiers - the Dragons. Science has long been reviled as the cause of the viral catastrophe, and a powerful Code suppresses any advanced research and development in all fields. The business world is competitive and well-supported by a two-class social system comprised of the upper-class Gydes and the working-class Kahmen. Despite this comforting veneer of functionality, however, criminal seeds of disruption aided by secretive entities have germinated in the shadows. One man has seen it all and recognizes the growing threat emerging from the world's decadent and decaying stasis. He has long suspected that something more than the current, stagnant technology will be needed to turn the dark and rising tide. Something more than humans will be essential to wield his advanced nanite systems in the coming struggle. He has discovered that only those rare individuals possessing the Morgan-Jackson mutation, one of the everlasting remnants of the plague, are capable of physically and mentally interacting with his powerful creations. To successfully meld user and technology, however, will require his small group of select Mojacs to embrace a lifelong bond with their individual nanite system; they must make the Pact. This science fiction/dystopian novel is the first in a series that chronicles a fight for the world - a battle for humanity.
