RISE AUDIO

It is the year 2042, Ronan Clarke, British Ambassador and MI-6 spy is married to Professor Ellen Clarke: they live in London’s affluent Royal Borough of Kensington, with their children Luthien and Idril. Ronan’s marriage has entered a rocky phase leading to questions about Ronan's judgement in the form of Rea Safdur, a young Muslim woman. Despite his emotional turmoil, Lord David de Haviland, the chief of MI-6 surreptitiously instructs Ronan to investigate Diana Tapp, the young CEO of the Silicon Valley based Tapp Consortium and its growing monopoly over the Micronet Technology body enhancement industry. Ronan’s investigation takes him to the African continent, and America where he discovers that the fragile concepts of humankind are more fake than first feared. With time running out, Ronan must get evidence to prove that the threat to human civilization is REAL but soon realizes that it’s not easy to thwart Diana Tapp and stay alive. Rise is an extraordinary intellectual sci-fi story continuing the threads of events in Mi, (Diana, The Early Years) and introduces a little-known Nigerian Government Minister, Shardhu Shejola, the future First Empress of Africa. Set in a tech rich era, Rise asks, ‘Do we really know what it means to be human?’
