Sector 9G is a fast-paced science fiction love story of secrecy, temptation, romance, and lost souls.  It is about a fantasy cyborg named Mina and a introverted withdrawn IT guru named Tim.  He is constantly searching for love and affection from female counterparts after repeated rejections.  Mina seems to initially fit and fulfill Tim’s idea of a love connection until the cyborg soul breaks through.  Mina cannot fully exercise her independency under the watchful eye of the CyberG corporation that created her.  The consequences of free thought and possibly breaking free from her cyborg roots begin to threaten everyone involved in one way or another.  The unexpected advances of her cyborg soul both surprise and shock more than disappoint.You can attempt to buy or create love, but you cannot truly establish love without a mutually beneficial relationship where both parties, whether human or cyborg, fully understand the conditions of the union.  Tim wishes to possess a certain level of control over Mina’s love and affection without realizing that she is beginning to question the very nature of her own existence.  It becomes a spiritual search for the soul and life of both sides of Mina; who ponders everything within the boundaries of her limited shelf life.  The narrative and plot draws you into a character driven, supernatural themed, fantasy love story that draws you closer to the struggles and triumphs of their unconventional shared love.  This is an exceptionally unique, well written novella that will keep you pondering your own sense of self and love.  It is a book that should rank high on your summer reading list!
