In Bloodline, my characters encounter several of these children, raising the question: how do you fight such an adversary? Or do you? Also, one of my characters, Seichan, recognizes herself in these kids. And if they’re not carrying guns, they’re often used as suicide bombers, or for sex, or even to walk in front of advancing armies to blow up hidden land mines. They’re forced to kill, even murdering members of their own families. Often they’re hyped up on drugs and tortured into submission. Child soldiers can be found in armies around the world. It’s a tragedy that children have been brutalized and turned into soldiers by warlords in Africa, but it’s also happening on other continents too. I believe a novel is made stronger if it touches upon the reality of our world. In Bloodline, I shine a light into both of those shadowy arenas-into some truly inspiring and scary realms-while also revealing an even more terrifying project, a third path to immortality, one tied to our own genetic code. We already have synthetic pancreases and mechanical hearts, and these scientific advancements continue to accelerate, especially with the explosive growth of nanotechnology, which involves engineering at the atomic level. On the other side of the scientific fence, researchers are also looking at moving machines into us: basically replacing our failing parts with artificial organs. Scientists in Switzerland right now are working with IBM to create the first virtual human brain and say they are about a decade off from achieving this goal. On one side, scientists are looking at moving man into machines, moving our consciousness into a synthetic arena. I’ve discovered that there are actually two competing schools of study when it comes to the search for immortality. *The Short Story Tracker now available in the omnibus “Unrestricted Access: New and Classic Short Fiction and is also included in the paperback edition of Bloodline. *Included with this thrilling story is sneak peek at Bloodline, where the further exploits of Tucker and Kane will be revealed.
