All citizens of post-war Pillar are implanted with a LifeChip. Passions have been neutralized. Lives are controlled. But not Miracle's. Her prophetic dreams continue to speak to her, and they are telling her to find the Enchiridion of Emmanuel - the ancient book of power and wisdom that will revive and repair the heart of Pillar. Only Mira's dreams instead lead her right to Nash, a law-abiding Reformer bent on destroying the Enchiridion. Yet when he finds himself without a LifeChip and feels for the first time, his world spins out of control and Mira is in the middle of it. The unlikely pair plunges into battle - for love, for the Enchiridion, and for the truth...
only the enemy is much bigger than they imagined.

Chip & Pin, Pandora (book 1 of 5) by MikeBacon70
1 part Complete Mature
Pandora Wallace, along with her twin Adam, is born into the iniquitous British society of 2035. This story follows the first 18 years of Pandora's blighted life. In 2015 the British government start micro-chipping babies, at birth, and then spend 14 years also chipping all of the adult population. In 2030 they abolish cash completely and all transactions have to be carried out via a human's on-board chip. This microchip is inserted into the heart wall of all acceptably healthy babies at the moment of their birth; the heart muscles powers the chip by recharging the battery. A second microdot 'PIN' is inserted at a random point in the baby's body. Should this 'PIN' become separated from the heart chip by any distance it causes the heart microchip to explode. The government is able to electronically disable or suspend the operation of anyone's chip at their whim, leaving the owner reliant upon the charity of others, or dead. Pandora is born with a minor gene defect which precludes her from being 'chipped'. Following a family crisis, at 14 years old, she is forced out on the streets to join the vast numbers of 'non-chips' who have to rely upon charity and slave labour to survive, not being allowed to work legally or earn money. Pandora finally goes to work for the underworld, determined to claw her way to the top and acquire an illegal microchip. She becomes a messenger at first and then her virginity is auctioned off by her boss. She becomes a high-class prostitute, a bodyguard and tangles with both a psychopathic killer and a government department determined to kill her and her boss. Books 2, 3, 4 & 5r continue to tell Pandora's story, together with that of the ill-conceived Chip & PIN system.

**static voice over the comm** "y-you.....you know.... far too much" the voice was shaky, hiding its barely contained rage. "Where am I?!. What are you? What the hell are you talking about??" Ariba's tense voice calls out into the dark abyss. no one can be seen far, far away as she keeps walking towards nothing. "it's too late! There's no saving us" Ariba freezes. what does this mean?? Where am I?? "YOU KNOW FAR TOO MUCH!" the voice cries. "YOU KNOW FAR TOO MUCH ARI-!" the heavy voice screams with fear and the comm goes blank. "Who are you? What does all this mean huh?!" "Ariba.....it's too late." She stops in her tracks as her eyes widen. That voice..... "Nitin...?" "Is that you?" she spoke with defeat clear in her tone. "It's too late, there's no turning back now." In a world where silence is law and memory is a weapon, who will you serve? The Alliance or the Void?
