Cyborg in Cygnus

About the Book

I suppose I should introduce myself in a little more formal fashion. I am Andrea Ubutanga, a cyborg. Yeah, I am not even really a human being, regardless of the UEC officially declaring me to be one. I have an Asimov android body controlled by a more or less human brain. That brain is made up of spare parts they had lying around in a neurological wing of a hospital here on earth. Approximately one-half of those spare parts are from a naval commander that lived over a century ago while the other half is from a prostitute that was a whole human even longer ago than that. I became Andrea thanks to some very fine work by one Dr. Delios of that same hospital I mentioned. I was adopted by Secretary Ubutanga in a political expediency move to keep me out of the hands of the scientific researchers and the military. (They wanted to make me into a weapon!)

About the Author

Richard actually was born on a dark and stormy night in January more years ago than he is willing to admit. His birth occurred during a time when babies were born in their mother’s own bed with a midwife in attendance. Since that time he attended a few colleges including one to become a Chiropractor. His writing career began when he was in his twenties with a few short stories some of which actually got published! His novel Cyborg in Cygnus is an expansion of one of those stories after it marinated in his brain for a few decades. He spent some time running poker rooms in Las Vegas(about twenty years) and sitting in the more comfortable offices of higher management is those casinos. He currently resides in a small, sleepy little town in southern West Virginia and enjoys the friendly people and slow pace.
