The Guardians - Ahead of the Times?

In view of recent developments in the world of medicine, I thought I'd change the theme of this weeks Guardian Blog to fit the mood.

No doubt, most of you saw the startling revelation regarding a series of cardiac surgeries conducted by Israeli doctors while guided by live 3D images of the patients heart, in a breakthrough being haled as the future of medicine.

You can read more about that article by following the link below:

I was drawn to the article, as I tried to base the entire Guardian Series on the supposition of...What if?

What if the advanced technology in the series was on the verge of actually being discovered? (Because remember, I devised this series over many years, and didn't actually write the first books until four years ago)

Well, if you're not yet a fan of the Guardians, here's a little thing that might surprise you.

In the latest book to be released - Guardians - there is a device invented by one of the characters called a HaSP...

Holographic Scanning Platform.

A high resolution multi wave reader and emitter that is able to scan the human body, and which then projects a real-time, dynamic live-image of the subject onto the doctors I pad, or into the air.

In the book, the HaSP allows specialists to zoom in on specific target areas to determine the best course of action to take. In the case of the Guardians, their readers come with ultra zoom/optic targeting nodes, equipped with state of the art laser and hypersonic delivery systems, capable of non-invasive, and yet aggressive responses to disease.

I thought I'd mention this, because as always, the science fact of the future is often based on the science fiction of today...

It would appear, Star Trek isn't the only sci-fi series to hold a monopoly in this area.

Fallen Angels

Five years have passed since the murder of the Lord Marshal. His killers remain at large, fomenting monstrous plots that, if successful, will wreak havoc upon the citizens of Earth. It appears the authorities are no closer to apprehending those responsible and some wonder if their protectors are all they make themselves out to be.
Despite appearances, the Guardians have been far from idle. Each nation’s resources and technologies continue to grow and flourish. Huge strides have been made in welfare and development. Other worlds have been prepared for colonization. And all the while, behind the scenes, the noose has been closing in upon the fiends who committed such an atrocious act.
