Islander Alix Paultre has published a new novel, Cyberchild.

The Manhattan Park resident drew on his experience as an electronic warfare analyst in the early 1980’s during the Cold War in Europe. He is a special-projects editor of Electronic Products magazine, a trade publication for electronic design engineers.

The novel tells the story of a medical experiment gone awry, and how it affects a young girl in a war-ravaged Eastern European country. Cover language describes the book as "an action thriller that explores real-world issues and the challenges presented by medical research and developing technology."

Paultre plans a sequel, Cyberspy.
