Pseudoverse #4
Onyx: Tetra Addendum
Caught between the past and the present, a young archaeologist is thrust forward into the future as pawn in a twisted game hosted by the corrupt, the greedy, and the underworld. In this fourth novel in our Pseudoverse, the year is 2049, twenty-seven years before Cobalt. Who was the very first Pseudosynth? A detective working a case of murders become a casualty of Ray Nelson’s early work as we follow her and her partner through the wasteland of lies, cover-ups, and mummified remains. This thrilling and mysterious follow-up to Emerald will have you on the edge of your seat as we unveil who was ‘the first genetically engineered conscious being’ in this tale of Egyptian lore turned painfully bloody, and cubed. Look to the darkened skies above as the moon moves closer to the sun. In an ever-growing eclipse, the Goddess Serket, the Scorpion Queen, is born for the first time. May she have mercy on your tainted soul…Onyx is one 'hell' of a ride that ends with a shocking conclusion leading into the final novel in the series, Pente Addendum.
Once it awakens, you had better run like hell!

“Lots of Fun And Action.”
Terra Industries is promoting an archeological dig in Egypt where two students are searching for the sunken ruins of the Scorpion rule. When Jasmine Smith and Stephanie Croston discover the underground treasure rooms and tunnels, they are delighted, but unknown to them the man funding the dig, Wes Stuckert, sends a secret armada of vehicles to retrieve the treasure. Jasmine is restless and goes back into the underground tunnels to look again at what she and Steph have found, only to be met by Stuckert’s killer, Keli Bomani, who drops her into an open pit, her body in pieces. But now the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt are upset and give Jasmine back a life of sorts. She is made the Scorpion Queen, Serket. And Serket has the job of returning the stolen treasure and the dead who have it in their possession.
Meanwhile, in Portland the police are investigating the murder of Stuckert’s wife and chauffeur when more weird murders begin.
This was actually my favorite novel in the pseudoverse so far. It has a nice mixture of mystery and science fiction, but still has the craziness of the first three novels with super women and robots. And it has a better story line and more solid plot. There is also lots of fun and fast action, and highly recommended.

One of the most underrated aspects of a good book is the depth of characters. CG Blade does it again, this time with a cast starring Jasmine Smith and her assistant, Stephanie. The two archeologists are working on a dig site to uncover Serket. The back and forth banter at the start of the book just sets the stage for what CG Blade does best - entertain and enlighten.
Norse mythology is my strong suit, but after the heavy dose of Egyptian mythology that CG drops on us, I can safely say that I am more than intrigued. Weaving the Old Gods, technology (I need a Vidset ASAP), and the dastardly human elements of Wes Stuckert, Onyx delivers on all fronts. Whether for are a returning fan of the series or this is a newly discovered gem, you'll enjoy it if you like things that are awesome. And you should like things that are awesome.

This book is AMAZING!
CG Blade has again shown his attention to detail in this fantastic "prequel" to his fantastic SciFi series! In this story, we embark with Jasmine Smith as she attempts to find the hidden tomb of the Egyptian Goddess Serket. Unbeknownst to her, Wes Stuckert (the man paying for the dig) has a hidden agenda. Get your copy and read this awesome tale of Egyptian mythology, questionable scientific practices, and, most importantly REVENGE taken to new heights! What a combination, Goddesses, witches and pseudosynths!
Great job CG! WRITE ON!

CG Blade is a literary genius. If you like futuristic, sci-fi thrillers full of cyborgs, sarcasm and pop culture references then you will not only love these books but the entire series. If you haven't read them, start with Cobalt, Crimson and Emerald, the first 3 books in the series. I've read them all & I'm foaming at the mouth waiting to read his next installment from the Pseudosynthpress Universe, Indigo. I plan on reading every book he writes. He's that good and you won't regret reading his books.
