Science Fiction
In the tradition of Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon is a
Harsh Mistress but with a healthy dose of cyberpunk: Radio
Freefall is about a plot to take over the Earth by power-
mad, sociopathic computer-geek billionaire, Walter
Cheeseman. It's up to a strange cast of rock stars and
oddballs to stop him. Aqualung, a mysterious blues musician
who also has superhuman tech skills, might be the catalyst
for the resistance--or he might just be the pawn of
artificial intelligences. To thwart the takeover, the
orbitals and the moon colonies secede from Earth. And then
something like the Singularity happens, but no one is quite
sure. This is a novel of cyberpunk and rock and roll, of
technology, artificial intelligence, and wild riffs off of
Heinlein all mixed into an explosive debut. Matthew Jarpe
launches his SF career with a bang!
