BLURB:  The Rewired Series

Series Blurb:

This is a fantastic, genre-bending series that weaves together the best mystery, visionary, and speculative fiction elements. With characters that span across books and time, The Rewired Series explores what plagues humanity and the impact each person can have while leaving you with the promise of a better tomorrow. Alexander Mukte wraps all of these themes inside edge-of-your-seat, engaging mysteries with larger-than-life characters you’ll want to revisit again and again.

Blurb:  The Recruiter

A fast-paced and thought-provoking mystery that will keep you on your toes until the very end. The Recruiter is an entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable start to the series, full of intriguing twists and turns.

Leslie may be an idealist, but she’s no fool. She trusts her boss, Ori, implicitly. He has vision, principles, and a way with people. When a bomb is detonated at work, she finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of events. All of a sudden, their lives are on the line, and every choice matters.

Is Ori who she thinks he is? Why would anyone want to hurt him? And how do they get out of this mess? Leslie doesn’t have it all figured out, but what becomes clear is that there’s a lot the world doesn’t know about Ori Clayborn.

Jessica is driven to make a difference by uncovering the truth. Investigative reporting is her life. One day she gets a unique assignment that leads her back to her hometown and into Ori’s orbit. What will she find, and what’s her role in this?

The Recruiter is a captivating, imaginative story that draws you in deeper and deeper, page-by-page. Alexander Mukte creates a universe that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go.

 

 

Deeply Rooted Dreams:

 

This bold and compelling sequel is an evocative page-turner on the journey to a better future.

Since her encounter with Ori years ago, Jessica, an investigative journalist, has continued her mission to print the truth that the world needs to hear. Her pursuit has led her to meet with a source, Zach Carver, a leading mind at Singularity Group. The meeting goes awry, and Jessica awakens to find that she has a gap in time and memory and that Zach is now missing. 

What happened? Who is responsible? And how can she help Zach? It is imperative that Jessica find out, and to her surprise, Ori has reappeared to help her do just that.

Malik, an intelligent and inventive young man, is determined to find a way to overcome the virus that has impacted the world. When he crosses paths with powerful people at Confidence Biotech, the leading treatment and contact tracing company, they take an unusual interest in him. Then, all of a sudden, they paint Malik as public enemy number one, forcing him to go on the run. 

What do they want from him, and does this mean that he is close to discovering something they couldn’t? 

Deeply Rooted Dreams is the second installment of The Rewired Series, unveiling more of the universal trial that Ori alluded to in The Recruiter. Alexander Mukte’s second novel creates an even more intricate world, striking an engaging balance of mystery and wonder.

Excerpt Three:

Chapter 6 

Leslie’s ears were ringing as she began to regain her senses. She saw Ori kneeling over her. His lips were moving, but she was having trouble making out his words. Slowly she realized he was asking, “Are you ok?” She nodded feebly, and he extended his hand to pull her up to sitting. 

Panic rose in her chest. She must have blacked out. She started looking around, trying to piece together what happened and if everyone was ok. Past Ori she saw fire and smoke coming from a car. And a few feet away from him, she saw Roger sitting and holding his head. She realized there was a pounding in her own head as well. 

Ori touched her shoulder, and she realized he was saying something else to her. She tried to focus. “We’ve got to get you and Roger inside where it’s safe,” Ori was saying. 

“Isn’t that your car?” Leslie asked.

“Don’t worry about it; everything is ok. We need to get inside where it’s safe,” Ori said.

“What about Ms. Hetty?” Leslie asked.

“She’s okay; she was inside the building,” Ori said. “Are you ok to stand up?” 

Leslie noticed that Roger made his way over to her and extended his hand to help her up. Leslie took both of their hands, and the two men helped her to her feet. 

Jordan appeared as well as a flood of other employees. Ori yelled, “Everyone, stay in the building, away from the windows. Jordan, call the police.” 

 

 

What are four things you can’t live without?

  1. My Family
  2. Exercise
  3. Nature
  4. Laughter

What is your favorite television show?

Psych. It has my two favorite things, mystery, and comedy. Gus and Shawn are just so silly; I love it.

If you could be any character, from any literary work, who would you choose to be? Why?

I would be a Black Mr. Darcy. He was principled, loyal, and fought for true love. Plus, he had a pretty nice estate.

What have you got coming soon for us to look out for?

Right now, we have out my debut novel, The Recruiter, and the sequel, Deeply Rooted Dreams

The Recruiter is the story of Ori, the visionary leader of a multi-billion-dollar corporation. He has principles and a way with people. Leslie is his in-house counsel and right-hand woman. When there is an attempt on Ori’s life, the two are caught up in a whirlwind of events and forced to go on the run. They have to figure out why anyone would want to hurt Ori and who they can trust. Over the course of the book, you see there’s much more to Ori than initially meets the eye.

Deeply Rooted Dreams picks back up several years later and creates an even more intricate world full of mystery and wonder. In this installment, the characters work to save humanity from negative forces, one of which is a virus that has defied attempts at eradication.

Book Three is in the works and planned for release next year. 

What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?

I mostly read non-fiction, which is perhaps why I like to pull in things I’ve learned and topical themes into my stories. However, books like The Alchemist and The Celestine Prophecy opened my eyes to the Visionary & Metaphysical genre. What appeals to me about this genre is how it often leaves the reader with hope, optimism, and a feeling that perhaps they and humanity are capable of more than they previously thought. My novels are cross-genre and definitely incorporate visionary and metaphysical elements. As Ed Sheeran wrote/sang, “human beings are destined to radiate or drain.” I want us to radiate.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

 

Alexander had an active imagination his whole life, but it wasn’t until the birth of his son that he began putting the stories in his mind on paper. He wanted to be an example of someone pursuing his passion, dreaming big, and taking chances. 

 

Alexander loves people, their stories, and their backgrounds as well as what shapes them, how they think, and what they dream about. He has a passion for learning and is known by most as an intensely curious person who eagerly soaks up anything and everything he can. He dreamt of a career that allowed him to learn new things every day. In writing, he has found a life that allows him to do just that. 

 

After graduating with a degree in business, Alexander volunteered in the U.S. Peace Corps where he aided in creating sustainable small business ventures in Central America. Before taking this leap of faith, Alexander did Business Development and Consulting for large domestic and international companies. These experiences weave themselves into the characters, places and stories he creates.

 

An avid traveler, Alexander enjoys exploring new places with his family. He was raised in Southeastern Arizona, and now calls Georgia home, along with his wife and two sons.  

 

The Recruiter is Alexander’s first novel, though perhaps the 39th in his mind. We hope you enjoy it, and Deeply Rooted Dreams, as much as we have.
