Onyx: The Fourth Novel In The Pseudoverse (The Pseudoverse Series Book 4) Kindle Edition
In this fourth thriller in the Pseudoverse Series novels, we take you into an ancient time and new direction. Caught between the past and the present, a young archaeologist is thrust forward into the future as a pawn in a twisted game hosted by the corrupt, the greedy, and the underworld. In this fourth novel in our Pseudoverse, the year is 2049, twenty-seven years before Cobalt. Who was the very first Pseudosynth? A detective working a case of murders become a casualty of Ray Nelson’s early work as we follow her and her partner through the wasteland of lies, cover-ups, and mummified remains. This thrilling and mysterious follow-up to Emerald will have you on the edge of your seat as we unveil who was ‘the first genetically engineered conscious being’ in this tale of Egyptian lore turned painfully bloody, and cubed."I have been reading much of CG Blade writings since he asked me to beta read Chrome. Being the sixth novel in the Pseudoverse series, I wanted to at least read the first novel. I am a chronically ill person, so reading is not something that happens every day, nor does writing...consequently, why my FB has gone dead. C'est la vie. I was able to get Cobalt and Crimson under my belt but sorely wish now that I could have read them all first since Onyx was slightly revealed in Chrome, and is my favorite novel for many reasons. - The ascension scene at the end of Onyx will never leave your mind or heart. I cheered and cried. These novels are entirely unique.” Kate D. Amazon reviewLook to the darkened skies above as the moon moves closer to the sun. In an ever-growing eclipse, the Goddess Serket, the Scorpion Queen, is born for the first time. Onyx is one 'hell' of a ride that ends with a shocking conclusion leading to the fifth novel in the series, Heliotrope.Once it awakens, you had better run like hell! May she have mercy on your tainted soul… Onyx is homage to the best of all Mummy movies and books, and is dedicated to Egyptian director Alex Proyas for his inspirational videos and groundbreaking movies.

About the authors
Who am I you ask? Well, I am a poet and originally from Avon, NY and, now living in Indiana with my husband. I'm an older person, but no, I am not quite as old as dirt.
As far back as I can remember, I have written poetry, and with every experience in life, I've found inspiration. The voices in my head sort out the inspiration and tell me what to write.
But, I never pursued writing as a career. Instead, I pursued many careers and tried retirement for exactly one year. That year, I was living my dream. I knew that I could sit at home, eat bon-bons, and watch soap operas if that was what I wanted to do. But I have never tasted a bon-bon and I hate soap operas so retirement was not for me. I had too much time on my hands and hated the drastic pay cut, so began my new phase in life - I unretired and returned to being an OTR driver with my husband Dave and writing in my spare time. Remember the voices… always there. Two years later, I find myself unable to continue as a driver and again have too much time on my hands....what's next?...who knows.
To date, I have published 10 individual poetry books, and a 9th book which is a compilation of 4 of them. In addition, I have an illustrated children's book, Caesar and the Bluebells. Some of my poetry has appeared in anthologies over the years. I have also been honored to have fellow authors give me the opportunity to write poems for use in their own published works.

A little bit about CG Blade and his backstory...
"Great novels comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable."
Soaking up every English class in two colleges, he remained steadfast to writing the Pseudoverse Series for the past twenty years. Readers are very familiar with the "jaw-dropping, neck-snapping plot twists" in the Pseudoverse Series of novels. Lightning strikes CG Blade's powerful creative side regularly, as he never stops writing between novels. The Pseudoverse novels are a “mash-up” of historical fiction, science fiction, horror, and plenty of dark humor and sarcasm. A love of the series "Fringe," "Universal and Hammer Sci-Fi/Horror" films, and the great minds of authors such as Huxley, Orwell, Dick, Lovecraft, Nelson, Bradbury, Heinlein, Wells, and many others, are the foundation for CG’s writing. CG Blade’s style and technique is a derivative all his own turned upside-down as he takes you through a world of New Order using technology as the ultimate master race.
Author, creative writer, Transhumanist, Pseudosynth, and former robotic engineer and programmer, CG is an avid science fiction reader and lover of twisting, ever-turning plots. Taking the reader down many thrilling cyber roads and mysterious paths, his narratives rely heavily on past and present scientific, historical research, and the human condition. Melding the past, present, and future, these stories are carefully mixed and stirred with music lyrics, real people, historical fiction, and the potential of artificial intelligence run amok. Fused with satirical commentary and the first musical “Grindhouse” intermissions in novels (Including poetry), he continues his fiction writing with Amaranth, Gold, Amber, Copper, Radium, and Turquoise, and Granite. He currently lives in Ohio with his wife Jackie, and their two rambunctious but lovable cats, Jeri Boo, and Bullet.
"Science fiction's message should be subtle. Like a robotic finger pushing through your skull, poking around, waking you up." CG Blade
http://www.pseudosynthpress.com
"The Pseudoverse Series has everything you love in one set of fantastic novels! These are the most gripping, twisting, turning, and well-written series of futuristic historical fiction novels you will ever lay your hands on. You will be asking yourself, "why didn't I come across these sooner?" The cliffhangers from novel to novel suck you in like no other series you have read in a long time. Kudos to CG, and his extensive research into all things scary, including "politics by mind-control."" - Karen S. - Amazon Review

- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018The final scene in this novel will be forever in my head; Sekret is awith with whom no force, human or God should reckon.
This novel ties in some pieces that would leave you wondering in future novels, so I recommend reading the novels in order. I read Chrome prior to reading this one. It didn't spoil it for me, but it explained a flashback, and the source of Chrome in this novel. It is also necessary in understanding who the true puppet master could be in this Pseudoverse.
Lovers of Ancient Egypt will love this as a stand alone piece. The fact that it is dedicated to the soul of a young lady who appreciated the antiquity of this culture, who is no longer among the living is monumental. It us something I hope an author would do for me, or a daughter should one die so young. The main character is on an archeological dig - She unwittingly upstaged her close-minded pompass professor, and gets herself into a bit of troubleb. Her friend is along for the ride, because that is what REAL best friends do. The villain is truly dispicable, and in true Blade fashion, gets the best of what authors can do to despicable people. Makes me not want to befriend authors...truly. The future world is bleak, as to be expected with the aims of today's society, but there will always be heroes. The heroes CG Blade creates are monster, but the kind of monsters you will WANT in your closet, and under your bed should you live long enough to see this future happen.
The humor and the reference to current automobiles, aeronautics, military, communication, pop culture, and P. K. Dick, author of Blade Runner's original inspiration, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is not for the fain of heart, the blissfully ignorant, or the woefully stupid. When reading Blade's novels, if you don't laugh on every odd dnumbered page, stop to Google a reference on every even paged number, and groan in sarcastic fun every page, you need to improve yourself with better quality reading, quit TV, and stay away from mainstream public for at least one year.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017Terra Industries is promoting an archeological dig in Egypt where two students are searching for the sunken ruins of the Scorpion rule. When Jasmine Smith and Stephanie Croston discover the underground treasure rooms and tunnels, they are delighted, but unknown to them the man funding the dig, Wes Stuckert, sends a secret armada of vehicles to retrieve the treasure. Jasmine is restless and goes back into the underground tunnels to look again at what she and Steph have found, only to be met by Stuckert’s killer, Keli Bomani, who drops her into an open pit, her body in pieces. But now the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt are upset and give Jasmine back a life of sorts. She is made the Scorpion Queen, Serket. And Serket has the job of returning the stolen treasure and the dead who have it in their possession.
Meanwhile, in Portland the police are investigating the murder of Stuckert’s wife and chauffeur when more weird murders begin.
This was actually my favorite novel in the pseudoverse so far. It has a nice mixture of mystery and science fiction, but still has the craziness of the first three novels with super women and robots. And it has a better story line and more solid plot. There is also lots of fun and fast action, and highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2019Okay, read Cobalt, Crimson, and Emerald first then come back. Onyx is my personal favorite of the series. I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I couldn’t help it. The art was so mesmerizing. Anyway, on to the book. In Onyx you do time jump, but it’s not confusing. This has more of a classic smoky room detective feel and it works so well. The main focus in this one is The Scorpion Queen, the ending will amaze and shock you at the same time.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017If you are new to Sci-fi genre then you are in for a treat. Sometimes we just need to jump into another reality to realize things parallel our world in the making. My first book was Strangers in a Strange Land.. But I still stayed out of this genre. Please indulge yourself all the books of this author as he has given us a platform to indulge all the topics of interest in science and spring into the next plausible concepts of imagination.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017Calling all Science Fiction lovers. This is the fourth book in this series. I give it 5 stars. Action packed, full of twist and turns. CG Blade combines past, present, and future in this book. Amazing read. Couldn't put it down. People are not what they seem. Surprises around every corner. His writing is brilliant!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2017All of the books by CG Blade are excellent! I don't care for a lot of the new generation of science fiction, but this is written in the style of the old masters. One day we will be watching the movies derived from his books, and what an exciting ride it will be.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2018Absolutely amazing. The story line just gets better with each book. Easy to lose track of time while reading these books as the story line just pulls you in deeper with each and every word and page.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017Incredible! As soon as I picked up the book I could not put it down. I love all the little details and research put into these stories! Great work C.G Blade!
