Lifeform (Paperback)

LIFEFORM is the final installment in the H.I. Tech series and picks up where DOC'S RULES left off. It takes the readers into a face to face confrontation with the unknown alien force inside Object Alpha Bell Tower. Dr. Waterstone thinks she's found the horrible truth behind the destructive presence that Victor Rykoff has forced her to free. How can it be a mere virus? Microbes don't think, and a mere virus could not have manipulated the electronic defenses at the scientific site or probed its computers or invaded H.I.'s and Dr. Waterstone's nightmares. Dr. Kay believes that something even more threatening is emerging. Bell Tower's alien crew is not dead or missing. The supposed virus is the alien crew. Or is it? Perhaps it's a collective intelligence born from bacteria in a far away nebulae and capable of building a spaceship. Perhaps it is a perpetual wanderer. Maybe it has a purpose, because in its grasp is the genetic code for all life forms in the universe. Including all life on Earth But to the hideous fiend, Victor Rykoff, the alien lifeform is the basis for the ultimate terror weapon. And with the help of Russian renegade pilot, Vasili Putin, Rykoff is prepared to unleash the alien's terrible power upon the world. It seems there is no one who can stop him, because too much of the outcome rides on CIA agent, Alex Malone. She has a history no one could have known. Maybe Dr. Tech isn't coming to the rescue either. He and Dr. Waterstone have their own surprising history. So the survival of the world may depend on one unlikely hero or the other. Maybe a sixteen year old outcast named H.I. Tech or a street smart rebel named April Waterstone. All of them rush toward their destinies and a confrontation with a powerful alien presence, even as an American nuclear strike closes in. But it is the alien presence that is far beyond anything Dr. Waterstone has imagined. It is very much alive and nearing a frightening mission of its own. "Readers expecting the usual bug-eyed alien creatures that can either be cleverly destroyed or turned away by logic won't find them here," Jacobs says. He hopes his readers are instead totally caught by surprise. The entire "H.I. Tech" series weaves elements of mysteries and thrillers with the scientific know-how of Michael Critchton, the military technology of Tom Clancy, and the espionage intrigue of Ian Flemming. He hopes that the unique combination of an adolescent narrator, real technology, advanced science and evil villains makes his works a favorite among his readers.
