This second book in the trilogy picks up right where H.I. TECH left off. Something is alive inside Object Alpha Bell Tower. Dr. Kay Waterstone senses its presence in the unexplained terrors stalking the remote complex. In her nightmares, she feels the unworldly force seeking her. But Dr. Kay can do nothing as long as she remains the prisoner and unwilling accomplice of the hideous Victor Rykoff. And Rykoff is not heeding her warnings. He thinks events are firmly in his hands, and he's dealing the cards with cruel precision. His own scientific team is preparing to enter Object Alpha Bell Tower to harvest the ultimate terror weapon. And his mole, planted among Dr. Tech's CIA escorts, is oiling the jaws of a perfect trap. On their own, H.I. and April must begin to confront their own past and journey toward a horror far worse than Rykoff. Object Bell Tower's mysterious core may not be the control center of an alien spacecraft, and its crew may not be missing. The life inside Bell Tower is more powerful and more indestructible than any force on the planet. Like Dr. Kay, H.I. senses it. And he too suffers recurring nightmares roamed by a powerful presence that is a harbinger to the end of all life on Earth. Even as H.I., Dr. Kay, and April try to grapple with the mystery, the loud alarms at Crash Site Alpha Bell Tower begin to scream containment failure. Doc's Rules continues the action started in H.I. Tech. It too is an electrifying thriller with the scientific know-how of Michael Crichton, the military technology of Tom Clancy, and the spy stuff of Ian Fleming, Doc's Rules tripled the action and heart-pounding suspense as it escalates to new levels everything that is careening toward a global catastrophe. The first book in the trilogy, H.I. Tech, is also available on Amazon.

LIFEFORM is the final installment in the H.I. Tech series and picks up where DOC'S RULES left off. It takes the readers into a face to face confrontation with the unknown alien force inside Object Alpha Bell Tower. Dr. Waterstone thinks she's found the horrible truth behind the destructive presence that Victor Rykoff has forced her to free. How can it be a mere virus? Microbes don't think, and a mere virus could not have manipulated the electronic defenses at the scientific site or probed its computers or invaded H.I.'s and Dr. Waterstone's nightmares. Dr. Kay believes that something even more threatening is emerging. Bell Tower's alien crew is not dead or missing. The supposed virus is the alien crew. Or is it? Perhaps it's a collective intelligence born from bacteria in a far away nebulae and capable of building a spaceship. Perhaps it is a perpetual wanderer. Maybe it has a purpose, because in its grasp is the genetic code for all life forms in the universe. Including all life on Earth But to the hideous fiend, Victor Rykoff, the alien lifeform is the basis for the ultimate terror weapon. And with the help of Russian renegade pilot, Vasili Putin, Rykoff is prepared to unleash the alien's terrible power upon the world. It seems there is no one who can stop him, because too much of the outcome rides on CIA agent, Alex Malone. She has a history no one could have known. Maybe Dr. Tech isn't coming to the rescue either. He and Dr. Waterstone have their own surprising history. So the survival of the world may depend on one unlikely hero or the other. Maybe a sixteen year old outcast named H.I. Tech or a street smart rebel named April Waterstone. All of them rush toward their destinies and a confrontation with a powerful alien presence, even as an American nuclear strike closes in. But it is the alien presence that is far beyond anything Dr. Waterstone has imagined. It is very much alive and nearing a frightening mission of its own. "Readers expecting the usual bug-eyed alien creatures that can either be cleverly destroyed or turned away by logic won't find them here," Jacobs says. He hopes his readers are instead totally caught by surprise. The entire "H.I. Tech" series weaves elements of mysteries and thrillers with the scientific know-how of Michael Critchton, the military technology of Tom Clancy, and the espionage intrigue of Ian Flemming. He hopes that the unique combination of an adolescent narrator, real technology, advanced science and evil villains makes his works a favorite among his readers.

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.
