Reviews

"The inclusion of AI and machine learning is so timely. I enjoyed the Maine connections and familiar local landmarks. I especially had to smile at Tom and Jenny's relationship story. I laughed out loud when I read about bringing Chrissy home! I had a hard time putting the book down! This book is a great read! The characters are so ""human"" and relatable. The detailed descriptions of areas visited were spot on! And the plot was a never ending mystery! If you love exploration and techno combined, this book is definitely for you. A wonderful adventure book that keeps you on the edge."
