Cripple-Mode:Hot Electric by Jerry Dobias is a Science Fiction Fantasy targeting the broader definition of Young Adult; from middle to high end. The completed manuscript is 250,000 words and bears some resemblence to the Juvinile Science Fiction novels of Robert Heinlein and has been described as bearing some resemblence to Frank Herbert's Dune.
Travis Lucia Hamilton-McQueen is a teen caught up in a strange circumstance. She has awakened from a coma to find everything out of control; her memories have been overwritten with another person's and she's battling to get her life back. It is no help that her Grandfather is a suspected mass murderer; her father is a convicted killer; and she is a clone who has apparently been bouncing illegally in and out of JumpSpace, which makes her a suspected terrorist. She suspects she is fitting into the family just fine. However there are more urgent issues because she's brought along a rider and eventually she'll discover she has three parasites sharing her body. Several agencies, including those responsible for engineering her existence, are interested in what she hosts. No one wants to share and everyone is willing to sacrifice the host if it comes down to that.
Travis will have to fight in order to live long enough to attempt to figure out who she is in a universe that will not allow time for someone to find herself.
Cripple-Mode:Hot Electric is the first novel of a trilogy followed by the second Cripple-Mode:Electric Touche and the third is presently under way with the Working title of Cripple-Mode:Spooky Action.
