Sobre IBD

Cigi Weatherman is stunningly beautiful, so capturing attention has never been a problem. But her aspirations target certain men who are unwitting accomplices to an unholy and diabolical plot for world supremacy. That dominance could lead to the ruin of any remaining thread of freedom humanity still possesses. Her power of influence may have dire consequences for the fate of humankind.                Guilt is not an emotion she processes. However, doubts about the actions she undertakes could destroy her situation. Who or what wants her to continue to follow orders? How does she maintain control of her brain and thinking while she manipulates her men’s thoughts and memories with small neural-cognitive implants?                When her doubts lead to rebellious actions threatening her life and the lives of the men she claims as “sugar-daddies,” she must discover a way to separate from whomever or whatever controls her. Will she uncover any allies who can help break the unwanted input signaling what happens next in her life? Can she attain freedom from any neural-cognitive influence controlling her?But more important … is there anyone else like her? 3
