The Human Bullet. Joaquin De Torres

Аннотация:

Billionaire, visionary, architect and engineer, Dr. Marko Marmilic, has changed the world in unimaginable ways. From his cutting-edge inventions in bio-genetics and cellular rejuvenation, to mechanical design and space-age metallurgy, he&#39;s been labeled &quot;the Nikola Tesla of the modern age.&quot;<br><br>But his newest technological breakthrough is, by far, his most ambitious, and most controversial. Marmilic has been commissioned to develop a machine that will change the entire geopolitical landscape in a way no one could possibly envision.<br><br>He has developed a land vehicle that can travel at Hypersonic speeds – an alien-looking super cycle called the Sonic One, that can reach Mach 15 by harnessing the Earth&#39;s magnetic fields.<br><br>Invisible to radar, exponentially faster than any fighter jet, drone, or missile – and it can do this &ndash; without making a sound. Equally impressive is the rider&#39;s revolutionary suit of bio-synthetic armor that can protect a human body from incineration at those speeds.<br><br>In his eyes, a fleet of Sonic vehicles could transport food, medical supplies and life-saving equipment to the neediest countries in a matter of minutes, saving hundreds of millions of lives the world over.<br><br>But to those financing this TOP SECRET scientific miracle, there is a more insidious objective, and to them there is only one person who will operate the machine – Chris Kordell, a full-torso quadriplegic who has just awoken from a two-year coma.<br><br>He has no idea where he is, what happened to him, or why he&#39;s surrounded by strange scientists. Worst still, he has no clue that he&#39;s been chosen to transform Marmilic&#39;s vision of altruistic life into one of the most deadly instruments of war ever imagined.
