Lumans (Paperback)

Lumans At a time when evolution is finally overtaking civilization, champion downhill indoor-skier John Zigman, needs all his formidable abilities just to survive. The woman he secretly loves is Pamela Jeffries, better known across the solar system as Foxy, the erotic actress. She is equally in love with him, but bizarre things are happening and a hugely diverse group of people start becoming intimately involved in each other's lives. Foxy's stunningly beautiful daughter Megan, her soul dripping with dark ambition, is the one developing the fastest and the first to become consciously aware of her potential power. Philip Farrell, chairman of Europe's biggest crime syndicate and a famous conservationist, is Megan's natural partner. He is a ruthless and coldhearted overlord, with a massive weakness - sadomasochism. His obsession for Foxy's erotic performances, torment him to the point where he decides to win her heart at any cost, even killing a competitor for her affections. That major competitor is Zigman, who is typically unaware of any danger until his good friend Nicholas Patel, a canny frontline wheeler-dealer, tells him of his suspicions. Zigman laughs it off, but their universe is changing rapidly. A storm is approaching that will plunge all of them into a bloody adventure that transforms their comfortable lifestyles. Violence, tragedy, love, sex, betrayal, awesome beauty, fantastic settings, interesting science and some unusual philosophy, ensure this fast paced story is easy to read and a bit shocking in places.
