Cybernetic Samurai

Sun, 16 Nov 1986 22:33:08 +0300

“I beg your pardon?” TOKUGAWA’s voice said from the comm console.
“I don’t blame you—but what did Aoki think he was doing?”
“Aoki-san served his master obediently. Just as I did.”
Yoshimitsu Michiko glared at the console. “That’s a crock. He was a man, a damned good one, not a lapdog.” She shook her head. “I have to clear your head of this samurai crap you picked up from O’Neill. It’s romantic, ridiculous, and largely untrue.”

—————
Deep in the fortress-like headquarters of Yoshimitsu TeleCommunications‚ American scientist Elizabeth O’Neill had molded the circuitry of a mammoth computer into a living‚ thinking‚ feeling being—a human soul trapped in the confines of a cybernetic body. She named her creation Tokugawa‚ hero of Japanese samurai lore‚ and educated him with all of the values of a feudal Japanese shogun.

Yet Tokugawa’s powers were far greater than Elizabeth had imagined. With access to every computer in post-World War III’s fully-automated society‚ he had the potential to become the ultimate spy‚ the perfect assassin‚ an invincible dictator.

Only loyalty to samurai virtues kept his ambition in check—until the day when Elizabeth was taken away from him‚ and Tokugawa began his quest for revenge...

The Dinosaur Knights

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:51:37 +0200

Paradise is a sprawling, diverse, often cruel world. There are humans on Paradise but dinosaurs predominate: wildlife, monsters, beasts of burden, and of war. Armored knights ride dinosaurs to battle legions of war-trained Triceratops and their upstart peasant crews. Karyl Bogomirsky is one such knight who has chosen to rally those who seek a way from the path of war and madness. The fact that the Empire has announced a religious crusade against this peaceful kingdom, the people who just wish to live in peace anathema, and they all are to be converted or destroyed doesn't help him one bit.Things really turn to mud when the dreaded Grey Angels, fabled ancient weapons of the Gods who created Paradise in the first place come on the scene after almost a millennia. Everyone thought that they were fables used to scare children. They are very much real.And they have come to rid the world of sin...including all the humans who manifest those vices. THE...

The Dinosaur Lords

Mon, 16 Nov 2015 22:07:47 +0200

"It's like a cross between Jurassic Park and Game of Thrones." —George R. R. Martin

A world made by the Eight Creators on which to play out their games of passion and power, Paradise is a sprawling, diverse, often brutal place. Men and women live on Paradise as do dogs, cats, ferrets, goats, and horses. But dinosaurs predominate: wildlife, monsters, beasts of burden-and of war. Colossal plant-eaters like Brachiosaurus; terrifying meat-eaters like Allosaurus, and the most feared of all, Tyrannosaurus rex. Giant lizards swim warm seas. Birds (some with teeth) share the sky with flying reptiles that range in size from bat-sized insectivores to majestic and deadly Dragons.

Thus we are plunged into Victor Milán's splendidly weird world of The Dinosaur Lords, a place that for all purposes mirrors 14th century Europe with its dynastic rivalries, religious wars, and byzantine politics…except the weapons of choice are dinosaurs. Where vast armies of dinosaur-mounted knights engage in battle. During the course of one of these epic battles, the enigmatic mercenary Dinosaur Lord Karyl Bogomirsky is defeated through betrayal and left for dead. He wakes, naked, wounded, partially amnesiac-and hunted. And embarks upon a journey that will shake his world.
