TECHNOPATH
Captain Stephanie Kane is having a bad few months. It's her first year leading the Information Warfare section in London and she is struggling to prevent relentless computer attacks from an American calling himself the Patriot. His cyber-guerrilla warfare campaign is as devastating as it is brilliant and leaves her team reeling.
Just as she is making headway, she is torn away to work on a highly secretive psionic programme with the repellent Major Richter. When he mentions the words telekinesis and David Leighson, her trigger finger starts itching.
As her security clearance increases, Stephanie quickly discovers new things to worry about. Like Scarlett Harley, a teenage girl with the game-changing ability to influence and control technology. In a high-tech world, she is a god. In the Patriot's hands though, she could be the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
Stephanie will rely on her new psionic agency, a jaded intelligence agent and a Russian clone. Together they may well be able to stop a cyber-terrorist, but now they are facing someone exponentially more dangerous. A technopath....

A Thrilling Follow Up!
When I read DEiFIED a while ago, I thought it was terrific. Technopath is even better. It is not often that an author follows through with a novel that is better that the debut, but Justin Dillon-Shallard has done just that.
Where DEiFIED was more of a fantasy, Technopath is more thrilling. It is fast paced and high tech, but without boring a person with trivia. Many of the old characters return — in some form, but they are different. The time span between the two novels has matured them and it’s great to see fictitious characters grow.
‘Patriot’ is a new character and what a dark horse. The author has a way of articulating each character’s thoughts in a distinct manner. Do not be put off by the alternating chapters of first and third person narration. It is seamless and I only realised it after I was well into the book.
The writing is elegant without being stuffy, and it just flows well. You may end up reading just another chapter, or two, or three, and not getting any sleep. You have been warned.
Who will love this book? Anyone who has a penchant for Telekinesis, Science Fiction, and High-Tech genres. This is a great story with believable technology that could very well be commonplace in the very near future.
If you enjoyed the first book, you will definitely want to pick up a copy of Technopath. I cannot wait to read the next one. Justin Dillon-Shallard is a great new Sci-Fi/Thriller author to watch closely.
