About The White Abacus

Synopsis -Thousands of years from now the human animal is still a beast...Now there are two sentient races inhabiting the known universe: one as human as Adam...the other of robotic mind. They share the Earth in harmonious coexistence. But elsewhere only those who age and war and die are permitted. On earth, a young human prince has befriended a being far different from himself. But usurpation and fratricide are calling them both to the royal youth’s embattled home planet drawing them into a nest of treacherous family conspiracy and cruel naked ambition where the enemy owns the armies, the power, and the very soul of the world. But the prince will have his revenge, though only one ally stands at his side: a peace loving creature of augmented intelligence in a place where he is an unwelcome stranger – a barbarous world where he is forbidden...and feared.
