2019 BRAG Medallion Honoree2019 Eric Hoffer Award, Honorable Mention - eBook Fiction 2019 Montaigne Medal Finalist for the year's most thought-provoking books In 2068 St. Louis, Missouri, Dr. Douglas (Doug) Michaels finds his lifelong friend, Josh Unger, dead in his home. When law enforcement concludes his death was a suicide, Doug and his wife, Ali, are dumbstruck; they wonder what could explain such a needlessly violent and lonely death in a future where such actions are unimaginable. Trying to unearth a killer, be it either flesh and blood or the cumulative stress of life, Doug creates a mental landscape of Josh's past, a retroscape, starting in the mid-2030s. Among its landmarks are: - An illness, sensationalized in the media as the "zombie pandemic" that drives a wedge between husband and wife, parents and children. - Cryptic communications between Josh and an "after-life specialist" who peddles immortality services. - A mysterious phrase uttered at the assassination of a government official that ties it to Josh's death 14 years later. - Josh's machine-intelligence wife, Julia, who may hold the secret to his death ... if she can only remember. In the end, determining guilt in a retroscape littered with suspects tells Doug more about humanity, technology, and himself than he ever could have imagined.

A suspenseful whodunit, where not all the suspects are human.Recently graduated Ruger-Phillips employee, Dr. Sam "Doc" Price, is looking forward to his new project-evaluating training for a team. But it''s a team like no other because only one of the team members is human. The other is one of the most intelligent and lethal systems ever built by man - the Joint Aerial Combat Capability (JACC). Loaded with the latest in detection and threat assessment technology, JACC is a silent, deadly military drone. Doc soon discovers, however, that JACC may not be the only killer on the remote, Nevada test range when he finds himself in a cat and mouse game with an unknown adversary. In a fight for his life and the lives of his friends, Doc asks himself, how do you match wits with the mind in the clouds when you''re not sure if you are facing the cold, exact logic of machine intelligence or the coldblooded urges of a human murderer?

Jeremy Reynolds has been listless for a while now. First, his girlfriend of 4 years dumped him, and he was in a funk. Then, he quit his job as an accountant. Yes, Jeremy was doing little and caring less. But recently, he has found something that energizes him, something that gives him direction, something that gets him out of the house every morning. It's called ... running for his life.Just as Jeremy was finishing the last in a string of low-paying, temporary market research gigs, the study assistant pulls a gun on him and tries to kill him. When Jeremy bungles his way to freedom, he realizes that the technology in this study is much more than it first appeared. It's enough to kill for. But he also knows he is in way over his head. So, when the lab and the would-be assassin disappear, and the police close the case, Jeremy is desperate for help. He finds it in the beautiful, young Diane Stapleton, MD. Now, the two of them match wits with the killer, in chases that take place where no one else has been...in the space of an atom.
