I’m writing plotted-out chapters on the sci-fi novel, Silence to Singing. My latest chapter introduces the archenemy, Lord Tahei Charon aka “Karl.”
He’s suave and smooth and handsome and ruthless as a dagger. He’s also leader of The Horned Edge, a pervasive threat to Earth that has infiltrated all areas of society.
Karl has raised up armies to invade the United States; those are poised to begin the offensive.
Karl’s biggest fear involves my main character, brilliant young physicist Lewis Brahmindura.
Lewis has everything going right at his tense moment in history. He’s about to get married to his true love Deirdre; he’s nominated for a Nobel prize for his work on gravitational resonance and teleportation; and he is about to embark on fully funded time travel research. His task for national defense: To capture Karl and throw The Horned Edge into confusion.
Yes, Lewis seems to be doing fine … until Karl moves first.
