Sinossi
2050. The planet is ruled by an oppressive supra-national government whose surveillance systems delve into every aspect of individuals' lives. The Internet has become the opium of the masses, and technology, once the liberator of humanity, now threatens to enslave it. Only a few amoral renegades - the Blanks - manage to duck the system and play it for all they can get.
Robert and Carol are two seasoned hackers, determined to get revenge on a society that has left them out in the cold. When they penetrate a high-security system, however, they find themselves the targets of a ruthless extra-governmental organization named the SIA, which will stop at nothing to protect the interests of the powers-that-be. In the race to elude his hunters, Robert barters for what he believes to be the latest piece of technological wizardry - only to become embroiled in an even greater conflict that straddles not only the digital and physical worlds but also the past, present and future.

L'autore
Robert Dowell has been fascinated by science fiction and the wonders and dangers of technology since he was a child and takes his inspiration from mid-20th-century writers such as Eric Frank Russell, Robert Silverberg and Robert A. Heinlein. He has worked in the IT industry for more than twenty years and has recently set up his own photographic and design company. The Lazarus Principle is the first fruit of a long-held ambition to create a fully realized science-fiction world that explores his thoughts and beliefs about technology, humanity and God. He is currently working on the second volume in the trilogy.
