If you enjoy a rags-to-riches story with mystery, intrigue, and action involving cutting edge technology in a universe that's almost fantasy, then you'll love reading the Run! From the Edge of the Universe series.

Meet Art!

When an international technology company, offers a naive young scientist from Brazil billions of dollars for his new technology that can splice DNA into living organisms, Art thinks he's made it and is living the life of his dreams.

But when jealous colleagues, greedy corporations, and corrupt politicians get whiff of the true potential that it possesses, Art will have to do whatever it takes to keep his invention from falling into the wrong hands.

Art arrives in Brimhill and is immediately surrounded by the mysterious disappearance of his friend Johnny, the only person he knows in the entire city.

Johnny gives Art a severe warning before he disappears and tells him to get out of town. Art tries to flee, but is caught by the police and blamed for Johnny's death.

Johnny's boss uses his disappearance to strong arm Art into selling his company and making Art a deal that he can't refuse.

All the while, Art continues to receive strange messages and warnings from those he comes into contact with. Most of the employees seem to be against the company and are strongly opposed to Art selling his DNA-splicing technology after the rumors of what happened down in Sector Seven.

Art must figure out who is trying to stop him and why, as well as figure out what is so bad about working at LocTech.

Read on to find out what happens to Art in this episode in the Edge of the Universe series and how he becomes an overnight billionaire.
