Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The story and characters blend harmoniously to result in an extremely engaging read. Cyberchild strikes a perfect balance amongst technology, futurism, and geo-sociopolitical economic forces.

From the Author

It took me 6 years to write this, and it comes from my heart. The scenes in Europe (with the exception of the fictional country Gavrilovia) come from personal memory. All of the science in the book is based on fact, yet it is more about how people react to technology than the tehnology itself.

I really enjoyed reading Paultre's first novel and was impressed by his ability to develop characters that are real and at the same time take us to a world of the future with cars that drive themselves, bio-engineered weapons and more. Finally, I love the Eastern European setting. Great stuff!

This review is from: Cyberchild (Paperback)

Book expertly melds some of today's hot button issues (animal activism and ethnic homelands) into a very believable future world where a visionary (?) wants to supplement humans with a computer built in their brain. The book makes you think about moral and ethical dilemmas (when is violence necessary, when does computerization cross the line) while reading like a Robert Ludlum thriller. Great characters and be prepared for the exciting climax. Get it before the future is here.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterfully Woven Futuristic Tale!, July 31, 2005

This review is from: Cyberchild (Paperback)

Influenced by his love of technology and his passion for politics and controversial discourse, Paultre presents the reader with a masterfully woven futuristic tale. Just as debates of the benefits of embryonic stem cell research are weighed against ethical and moral dilemmas at the current time, Paultre extends such concerns to a futuristic setting where advanced technology presents society with even more intriguing dilemmas. Where and when does technology and medical progress cross the line? Paultre coaxes his readers to investigate the possibilities. All that, and a love story too!
