About
When British soldier Alex McCloud is injured and blinded in Afghanistan during 2010, he is offered the chance of sight using bionic implants, developed by Professor Goldman of Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in conjunction with Augmented Reality specialist Major Jennifer Sherlock of the CIA.These implants provide Alex with sight and much, much more, proving to be of great interest to both the MOD and the CIA.His new life as an intelligence officer based in London presents many challenges and opportunities for adventure and love, but it also brings him to the attention of those to whom his unique abilities pose a threat that must be eliminated. John Stephen Raynor, born in 1944 in Oldham, Lancashire, was diagnosed with a serious progressive eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa.At fifteen, he began working in architecture, eventually becoming a self-employed software developer and marrying his first wife in 1967. Sadly, the long hours building up his business took their toll, and the couple separated in 1989.It was in the Philippines he found his soul mate, whom he married in 1993. Her experiences are the inspiration for much of John's fictional work, including his first novel, A Comfortable Death.After twenty years of keeping diaries, John drew on these to publish A Chronicle of Intimacies, followed by Who wants to be British? – the two autobiographical works describing his most traumatic period.Registered blind since the age of thirty-five, John relies on his computer with speech synthesis for software development and creative writing.
