H.I. Tech (Paperback)

We have a new star on the literary horizon. M. Alan Jacobs' first book is a world-changing meteor of a story; fast, furious and brilliant. Unraveling Jacob's fantastic and highly dangerous mysteries is H.I. Tech, a 16-year old genius plucked from surburbia and dropped into one of the most frightening scenarios mankind may one day face... This is as good as it gets and Jacobs is just getting started. -Terry Moore (Strangers In Paradise, Echo) It's July 1999. Yale astronomer Raymond Marsden's discovery, RM 1999, is closing on earth, and Marsden thinks its impact will spell the end of the world. But instead of destroying the earth, RM 1999 survives its impact deep in the Amazon basin. All life around it dies, and RM 199 lies waiting in a massive crater of its own making, hidden from sight by conditions that seem to defy the laws of physics. Reclassified Object Alpha Bell Tower, RM 1999 is quarantined by special forces and probed by the best minds. But soon contact with their remote site is lost, Raymond Marsden vanishes, and events snowball toward Hippocrates Isaac Tech, a 16 year old outcast and reluctant prodigy. H.I. Tech may be an outcast, but he is not alone. If he were, he might have a shot at the ordinary life he desperately wants. He might even have a chance with April Waterston, who hates his guts. But this life is not to be. H.I.'s father is Dr. Jules Verne Tech, "Doc" to H.I. and "scientifi c trouble-shooter" to his bosses in the Pentagon. Doc never says no and never goes on a job without H.I. But before Doc's mission to the Amazon can begin, kidnappers target April. It seems she and H.I. share more in common that she can stand. Her mother, Dr. Kay Watersone, was in charge at the Bell Tower site. So now H.I.'s mission is personal. Save April. But it's not so easy, because she still hates his guts, and Doc's CIA escorts may be playing a double game. What awaits them all is a human horror beyond their worst fears and a powerful presence that is not of this world. H.I. TECH is the first book in a trilogy. It's an electrifying thriller with the scientific know-how of Michael Crichton, the military technology of Tom Clancy, and the spy stuff of Ian Fleming. H.I. TECH pushes the action and attitude to eleven, careening toward global catastrophe with pulse-pounding glee. The second book in this trilogy, Doc's Rules, is now available on Amazon.
