Mettle: A moment for you is an eternity for me (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781792689697)

Exander Metro is a young sea-energy farmer whose dangerous past is written in the scars that cover his skin. Angela Gill is a brilliant but reclusive software architect who has conceived a truly novel artificial intelligence. When Angela's creation chooses Exander as the human she will model herself after, what follows is an adventure whose outcome will have life and death consequences on a global scale.

Set in the second half of the 22nd Century, in a world where oceans have risen ten meters and changed the face of the planet, Mettle, Book I of The Republic of Dreams, introduces us to the Metro Family, SEAPAC - the world's largest corporation, and the Forgotten Ones, a tribe of outcasts whose Keeper of Legends, a mysterious old woman named Uira, wonders if Exander will be the key to their salvation, or the cause of their destruction.

Welcome to the Republic of Dreams, where unseen combatants wage a proxy war in a world that is equal parts science, history, metaphor and mystery - an epic seven-volume series with a strong ensemble cast that will draw you in and keep you turning pages long after bedtime.
