She faces discrimination in her school and her family's retail business is plagued by an organized crime family that collects insurance, often brutally. Roni's always been extraordinarily good at hiding, first in hide-and-seek as a child and later to avoid embarrassment. Now, older, she and her brother begin to realize that what she actually has is a form of telepathy. She can't read other people's minds, or speak to them silently, or force her thoughts on theirs. All she can do is make other people not notice her. At first being able to become invisible seems like a great way to hide from or avoid her old boyfriend, but she slowly begins to realize that it will let her do so much more. She even begins to wonder if she might be able to do something about the mob family that's been holding her city in its thrall. |

| ell donsaii book 14: A Pause in Space-Time (a Stasis Story #1) Laurence Dahners, 2019-12-12 This novella length hard Sci-Fi book begins the Stasis Stories, a series of tales from the near future. They tell us about Kaem Seba, a sickly and financially destitute young man who uses his extraordinary math talents to work out a way to stop time within limited volumes of space-time. He and Arya Vaii, a business student, set out to develop the phenomenon.It quickly becomes obvious that, beyond the fact that time stops inside the stasis field, the volume of space-time in stasis might be useful for some of its other phenomenal properties. Since it essentially can't be altered (time's stopped inside) it's stronger than any known substance and, unlike matter, does not melt. This makes it the perfect material for building rocket engines. They set out to sell such engines in order to provide their budding business enough profit to let them develop other useful products.Unfortunately, the owner of the lab that tested the properties of their samples also recognizes their potential. His desire to share in their profits unhinges his shaky grasp on reality. When he can't talk them into letting him join their enterprise, he demands a share at gunpoint. |

This one is about Kaem Seba's daughter, Zaii, a young woman who, like her father, has extraordinary math talents. Eager to do her part in the war against the aliens from Epsilon Eridani, she becomes a Space Force ROTC cadet. Soon after that, she's proving to be a superb young officer. However, as she studies potential warfighting strategies that might be used against the Eridanis, she realizes that the defenders of Sol system have a problem. The humans won the first battle against the Eridanis by using the technical advantage afforded by the invulnerability of stasis. But, the Eridanis jump and biowarfare technology could easily allow them to wipe out the human race on Earth and thus win the war. Offered the opportunity, she sets out to study the wreckage of the Eridani ships from the first battle. She hopes to figure out how jump works, thus appropriating that technology for human use and evening the playing field. Can she figure this out in time to keep the Eridanis from exterminating homo sapiens? It turns out to be a lot harder than she'd hoped, and to require help from someone she doesn't want to ask... |
| ell donsaii book 14: Perilous Waif E. William Brown, 2017-01-23 My name is Alice Long, and I've always known I was different.When I was little I used to climb up to the highest branches of the housetree at night, and watch the starships docking at the orbital stations high above. Forty meters off the ground, watching ships thirty thousand kilometers overhead, with senses that could pick out radar pings and comm chatter as easily as the ships themselves. It all seemed perfectly natural at the time.There were other kids with mods at the orphanage, but nothing like that. I learned fast to downplay my abilities, keep my mouth shut and try to blend in. Even as a kid I knew not to trust the Matrons. What would they do, if they realized the Adjustments that were supposed to make me a meek little herd animal didn't do anything?Then I messed up, and gave myself away.Now I'm on the run, hoping against hope that the Matrons won't try too hard to find me. Hoping to survive all the awful things that can happen to a girl on her own in space. Kidnappers, slavers, pirates and yakuza - no matter where I go, trouble always seems to find me.Good thing I'm not as helpless as I look. |

There are a million different Earths across an infinite number of timelines—and every one of them is in peril.

| ell donsaii book 14: The Cyclops Effect Cj Williams, 2019-12-19 When Asha said she wanted to give the Chinese hackers a piece of her mind, she didn't mean it literally. But that's what happens when medical technology goes awry. Doctors promised they could teach her brain to read digital signals. They gave her a fully functional visual prosthetic that transmits images across her optic nerve directly to the visual cortex. The module even has wi-fi so they can monitor the signal traffic to her brain. They didn't anticipate her brain would figure out how to use the wi-fi connection both ways. Asha can now see the Internet. ASHA BECOMES THE ULTIMATE HACKER As her digital brain develops, she creates an online alter ego, a true artificial intelligence. In fact, she can access every bit of data in the world, even files that are supposed to be secret. Since the FBI promises handsome rewards for capturing criminals on their Most Wanted list, Asha becomes a bounty hunter. The AI she calls Abbot becomes her right hand as she goes to work tracking down international terrorists. Unfortunately, she is so effective, the government believes she may be a co-conspirator. When they refuse to pay her, she walks out. IT'S NOT JUST THE FBI WHO SUSPECT HER When Asha crosses paths with Chinese military hackers, she stops them by taking out Shanghai's electrical grid. The communist government wants to know who did it and how. After Asha gives a copy of Abbot to her husband's company, things go downhill. The Chinese military steals a copy of it and immediately recognizes its military significance. Their top priority, however, is to take out the woman who came up with it in the first place. CHINA FLEXES ITS NEW CYBER WARFARE TOOL Using her own technology against her, the Chinese suddenly become a serious threat to the US. The FBI calls Asha back and asks a favor: stop the Chinese attack. She agrees, but this time there are conditions. Either they pay upfront, or she will take care of the Asian threat in her own way, and knowing Asha, that could mean World War Three. |
| ell donsaii book 14: Rocket! (an Ell Donsaii Story #4) Laurence Dahners, 2012-07-31 Rocket! is the fourth in a series of near future SciFi/Thrillers whose young heroine Ell Donsaii has a nerve mutation that makes her a genius and an athletic phenomenon. In Rocket! she works out the enormous potential of the wormholes she discovered in Lieutenant. Though they only provide small openings through space, the wormholes could prove to be a tremendous boon to humankind. Excerpt: Excitedly Ell started picking up the components and laying them on the surface of the big table. The happy babble around her quieted as one by one the team members turned to watch her lay out a number of metal tubes. She heard them speculating, What is it All those tubes. Some kind of plumbing project Ell laid a pointed cap at the left end and a conical device at the other, ?A rocket someone asked. Ell grinned up at them, ?Yep, a rocket.? Ben said, ?Why a rocket? I thought we were going to replace rockets with instantaneous transfer of materials through port/wormholes to satellites and to the space station Ell smiled even more broadly. ?Well, first we have to get our ports up to orbit where we want to transfer those materials, right? And before you say we can just send them up on the rockets that already go up there, think about why those rockets are so huge She looked around the group. ?Right? Because they have to carry so much fuel! For the first part of the mission they are mostly just launching fuel for the next part of the mission. It's horribly inefficient!? The group stared at her as they pondered her words. Fred scratched his head, ?Are you thinking this little rocket, ? he waved at the parts on the table, ?because we can port it fuel, could make it all the way up to orbit Ell waggled her eyebrows, ?All the way to the space station!? Eyes widened around the group, someone said, ?Then we could ?port? them supplies!? Ell said, ?Yeah! So, full speed ahead! I think we should bust our asses trying to prepare a rocket that can get to the Station and deliver ports for us to supply the astronauts with. If the Chinese fail their resupply mission to the Station we need to be ready! I?m sure you guys know that if the Chinese fail to deliver supplies, the folks on the station are going to be in some very serious trouble. All their other backups have already failed. As Epaulding said, ?they are in the midst of the perfect storm of problems. |

| ell donsaii book 14: Nightshift Victoria Hancox, 2021-07-20 Do you prefer your gamebooks to have less dice and more gore? Welcome to the Nightshift! Normally, you turn up at the hospital at 9PM and prepare to face whatever comes through the door. You've patched up gunshot wounds, plated broken bones and drained abscesses. Sometimes, you've spent the entire night watching TV, feeling bored and just willing the phone to ring. Waiting for something to happen. But what if something did happen? What would you do if your ordinary routine just turned upside down? In this adventure, you are not a hero. You're just a hospital worker who's plunged into an interactive battle against demons, witches and time itself. You're caught in the middle of a nightmare but will you be able to use your wits and survive? There's a difference with this adventure though. There's no dice to throw and no battles to fight. You won't get through by being lucky and you definitely have no spells or swords. What will get you through to the end of the nightshift is what you already have--knowledge, skills, memory and a pencil--the best advice is that you make notes of all the evidence and hints you find! You just might make it out if you can piece together the clues and figure out the puzzles. We'll see you on the other side! |

His mother gets him permission to skip ordinary primary and secondary schooling and enroll in university, studying molecular genetics. He'll be working in Dr. Reggie Barnes research lab where he hopes to learn how to take his ideas to the next level. Unfortunately, a talented virologist has joined a radical Islamic splinter group, promising to help them wipe nonbelievers from the face of the earth. He gets access to a forgotten smallpox culture and sets out to modify the already horrific disease into an even more lethal version, one which won't be prevented by standard vaccinations and is resistant to antiviral treatments. Zage has been working on a way to predict the proteins in viruses and recognize antigens in the viral shell that antibodies might be formed against. He's hoping to immunize people against obesity viruses, but there's no reason his new algorithm can't also be used to stop the modified smallpox virus... if he can work with the CDC to make his vaccination available. |
