Product Review

The prequel to the popular Old Guy/Cybertank Books. It is the distant future. Hundreds of billions toil in crowded windowless factories, while the oligarchs lord over all from their kilometer-high palaces. The only thing the oligarchs fear is a war with several alien species that they are losing. In desperation, they turn to a biologically engineered human, Giuseppe Vargas, to create new weapons that will let them win their wars with the aliens.

Vargas is a protean genius, several times faster and stronger than any regular human, and borderline psychotic. He designs a radically new weapon system €“ the cybertank €“ a self-aware construct of astonishing power.

Once the aliens are defeated, the oligarchs plan to eliminate Vargas. However, Vargas has his own plans, and the cybertanks are also developing an agenda€¦

Note: All Old Guy books can be read as a stand alone story. However, reading them in order may enhance your reading pleasure.
