About the Author
Cliff Ratza, a
humble scholar, has amassed a prolific writing career. His contributions span
diverse fields, including professional journals, website copywriting, and press
releases. With ten novels and two poetry collections under his belt, Ratza’s
literary prowess is undeniable. He dedicates the Lightning Brain Series
to readers everywhere.
A Journey through Human Complexity
At the heart of
Ratza’s Lightning Brain Series is a central theme: extraordinary people,
no matter how exceptional, must confront the complexities of being “merely
human.” This concept is beautifully illustrated in The Girl Who Commanded Lightning, the third novel in the series.
The story revolves around Electra Kittner, a protagonist whose life takes a
dramatic turn after she awakens from a coma induced by an experimental
treatment to battle the T-Plague. However, Electra does not return as herself;
she wakes up believing she is someone else—Alisha.
The narrative
cleverly challenges readers’ expectations by introducing a protagonist whose
identity is split, creating a fresh angle that revisits everything fans know
about the series. This allows Ratza to dive deeper into the themes of identity,
memory, and the struggle between what is real and what is perceived. Electra,
now Alisha, is faced with the daunting task of navigating a world that is not
only alien to her but also threatened by the T-Plague and a menacing
cyberterrorist group. The tension builds as readers are left wondering whether
Alisha’s unconventional methods will be enough to save the day or if Electra
will return in time to bring stability back to her chaotic world.
A Unique Approach to Storytelling
One of the
standout qualities of Ratza’s writing is his ability to defy the norms of
traditional storytelling. By creating a narrative that is as unpredictable as
it is engaging, he keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The Girl Who Commanded Lightning is an
excellent example of this approach. As the third book in the series, it serves
not just to continue Electra’s journey but also to deepen it by presenting new
challenges that test her in ways that readers could not have anticipated. The
introduction of Alisha, Electra’s alter ego, provides a fresh perspective and
opens new avenues for character development and plot progression.
Ratza’s strength
lies in his ability to maintain continuity across his series while constantly
evolving the narrative to keep it fresh and exciting. His world-building skills
are evident as he seamlessly integrates futuristic elements with the more grounded
aspects of human struggle. Readers who enjoy thrillers, speculative fiction,
and stories with strong emotional cores will find much to admire in Ratza’s
work.
