Synopsis
|
Alex
Gibson is an
evidence chaser on
the run in
London. One
of his eyes is
palest grey.
The other is a
Zeiss eyecam with
enough data locked
in it to blow open
a very
messy murder
trial.
Unfortunately for
Alex, media giant
CySat GmB reckon
the evidence
belongs to
them. And
they intend to
take it. So
does the Order of
Antioch, a shadowy
organization run
by an 800-year-old
Sicilian
psychopath.
Bad news for
prosecutor Claire
Fabio, who's been
set up but doesn't
yet know it.
Just as she
doesn't yet know
her only chance of
getting out of
Paris alive is to
cut a deal with a
ruthless,
criminally
inclined computer.
While on the
other side of the
world, wired into
the Cy, sits
Johnnie T, leader
of the neoAddix,
Japan's slickest
street gang - who
just may be able
to do something to
help them.
Or maybe not
... |

Review
|
NeoAddix,
drawing on today's
and tomorrow's
developments in
genetics,
nanotechnology and
computer hacking,
is a dark, violent
technoshocker that
splices the
thriller with
Japanese
traditions of manga
to create
cutting-edge cyber
noir. |

Massive
Flare
Erupts
From Sun
The
Solar and
Heliospheric
Observatory
(SOHO)
spacecraft
captured
this image
of a solar
flare --
the third
most
powerful
ever
observed
in X-ray
wavelengths
-- as it
erupted
from the
sun early
on
Tuesday,
October
28, 2003.
The flare,
in the
lower
center of
the image,
was
preceded
by a
Coronal
Mass
Ejection,
which
blasted
electrically
charged
gas toward
the Earth,
threatening
to disrupt
power
grids and
satellite
operations.
SOHO is a
joint
project
being
carried
out by the
European
Space
Agency and
NASA. |
