Tallon Steele: Cold Steel
All Rights Reserved ©
Tallon Steele was a legendary field historian until a fall in Ethiopia shattered his spine. Now, he lives a life of chronic pain, obsessing over a “Map of Failure”—43 hunted artifacts that failed to cure him. Then comes the 44th. Deep beneath the Thames, Avalon Technologies has found a sixth-century vault containing an impossible technology: an ancient iron sword suspended in a high-tech magnetic field. The biometric lock recognizes only one person: Tallon. But the sword is more than a relic; it’s a non-terrestrial archive that resonates with the human nervous system. While it "wakes" Tallon's deadened nerves, it also carries the power to reorganize neural architecture on a global scale. Navigating flooded tunnels and corporate treachery, Tallon must use his wits and his carbon-fiber cane to outmaneuver mercenaries. He’s no longer just hunting a cure—he’s protecting an ancient power that could rewrite the human mind.
