Alien Thrill Seeker

Adrenaline Rush #2

by Lawrence M. Schoen

Before being injected by an alien virus, Ben "Coop" Cooper was an alcoholic, washed-up movie star. Saved from dying by an out-of-this-world offer, his body was healed and his aging process reversed. Now a race of machine intelligences called the Box are hunting both him and Dr. Jessica Acorns, the doctor who created the virus. It’s curtains for Coop. Or maybe not… An unexpected side effect of the virus has created Dyrk, a viral personality living in Coop's head. Dyrk believes he’s a hero and insists he can defeat the Box. But victory over the aliens that can spread their awareness across multiple robot bodies and getting everyone safely off Titan comes at a cost. Coop has to surrender control of their shared body for a while. Dyrk has his own agenda. He wants to save Potato, the alien lifeform that is the source of the virus and the most holy of objects to the Box. Subterfuge, battles with robot hordes, and a run-in with an alien crime boss stand in Coop's way. But he's feeling better than he has in years, and the show must go on! Maybe when the dust settles, he can figure out what to do with the viral intelligence that has taken up residence in his mind.

About the author

Lawrence M. Schoen holds a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology, is a past Astounding, Hugo, and Nebula, nominee, twice won the Cóyotl award for best novel, founded the Klingon Language Institute, and occasionally does work as a hypnotherapist specializing in authors’ issues. He is a chimeric cancer survivor.

His science fiction includes many light and humorous adventures of a space-faring stage hypnotist and his alien animal companion. Other works take a very different tone, exploring aspects of determinism and free will, generally redefining the continua between life and death. Sometimes he blurs the funny and the serious.
