The Chip: A 21st Century Superhero — George Jack

Pulled from his life by tragedy and treachery, Stanley must survive in the world he finds himself in a world where he becomes the subject of lab testing and learns to survive almost entirely on his own. At the same time, however, he finds one benefit amid the horror: the implants he is given allow him control over his powers.

Melding together a flair for the dramatic and a sense of the commonplace, author George Jack brings to life a society in need of a savior. That savior is ''The Chip'' -- Stanley's super alter-ego. Aided by years of cybernetic research, Stanley (as The Chip) battles the villainous Dr. Powell and the beautiful - but deadly - Virus.

Set in the early 21st century, the story of The Chip reads more like a plausible biography than a work of science fiction. Of course, it is the biography of a young man with super powers and enhanced cybernetics... but no one is perfect.
