(2017)A Harmony of Enemies
(The first book in the Braintrust series)
A novel by Marc Stiegler
How Do You Know a Politician is Lying? His Lips Are Moving!
The President for Life has the Brawn; the young woman he must kidnap has the BrainTrust. Game On!
Many years ago, the President for Life expelled all the foreign engineers from Silicon Valley, promising those jobs for Americans. But his lips were moving. Instead, the Valley companies moved their people to a fleet of cruise liners off the coast, giving birth to the BrainTrust.
Now Dash, a brilliant young foreign scientist, has come to research human rejuvenation. No one needs her experimental therapy more than the aged and dying President for Life. His Chief Advisor will stop at nothing to grab her for the Needs of the State.
Even if it means turning the BrainTrust into a radioactive wasteland.
The BrainTrust has no Army, no Navy, no Air Force. Their ships have neither weapons nor armor. Yet a key question remains: can a society that has earned the name BrainTrust ever be truly defenseless?
Nominated for the 2018 Prometheus Award.
