Nuova Italia, USA, 2106. The country is engaged in a new enlightenment, one of biotechnological discovery, of glowing eyes and iridescent skin, of body art that moves and breathes. Political enemies from outside and in threaten the country in her state of ascension; it is up to the Operatori, an elite band of government-sponsored assassins, to protect her. William J. Fall is just beginning his life, and already, he has taken countless others. Lover, charmer and thrill-seeker, William laughs at the game and performs with deadly efficiency. Will’s next mission is an easy job—infiltrate a seditionist base, break into room 616 and kill the person inside. The last thing Will expects to see is a nine-year-old boy with eyes like a cyberoptic lens. In a moment of compulsion, Will kidnaps the boy, effectively going rogue with the Operatori hot on his trail as he embarks on the search to uncover the truth of what was inside room 616.
Will’s journey takes him back to the roots of his past. With the mysterious boy, Aadi, in tow, William traverses cities of electric twilight, fields of white chaos, and skies of cybernetic illusion in the search for truth. Uncovering the multitude of lies surrounding the Operatori, and finally the truth about a boy designed to be a soulless killer, William must decide what path he walks—the path of darkness or light, the life of a boy and the lives of every teammate he ever trusted weighing in his decision.
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN is a futuristic intrigue about brotherhood, innocence, and the power of free will. With a writing style reminiscent of RAY BRADBURY and YEGOR ZAMYATIN, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN is also a metaphor of celestial powers and one man’s journey on the road that teeters the line between Heaven and Hell.
