A fun fast paced read from the author. This story takes a lot of twists and turns. It follows John Mitcham in his search for his estranged wife, partnering him hacker Nia Banks. The two search for John's estranged wife and a "super" quantum computer called the Quantum Grail. The story has unexpected twists and turns and ultimately betrayals.

This is a very fast fun read. You will not want to put down. I look forward to more books by the author.

John, a former Navy Seal joins forces with Nia, an exceptional hacker, to unravel what is behind the kidnapping of his wife and a group of soldiers linked to a supercomputer called the Quantum Grail.
The book is a fantastic action thriller with a sci-fi twist. I loved the mix of suspense combined with action and technology.
It has a good story line with interesting and well worked out characters. The relationship between John and Nia evolves and changes during the course of the story. We also meet some characters of dubious morality that will keep us wondering what is behind all the kidnappings.
It almost reads in one sitting delivering twist after twist and a heart-stopping ending.
A fantastic debut novel totally recommended and a writer to keep an eye out for.

This is an outstanding, complicated, (hopefully) super-futuristic techno-novel.
Completely engaging from the start, I was focused on what I thought was happening,
to learn that what you see is not at all what is actually taking place. There was a
lot of fascination with the personal relationships of the main characters and the
Author did a masterful job with the evolution of each character, and the
obfuscated roles the people and situations played in the story.
I found myself heavily aligned with a character whom I learned was not
quite what I thought…making this a perfect novel! To wrap it all up, this
book is perfect for suspense with a touch of flubbed players, with a
nice wrap-up as it concludes.
My thanks to Gotham Bookworks via NetGalley, for the download of
this book for review purposes.

This is pretty standard run of the mill kidnap and intrigue until you realise there are far more layers in this clever and compelling story. John Mitcham, ex special ops, realises something has happened to his wife through a hidden message in a note she apparently leaves before vanishing. that and the repeated sightings of the same van, the edginess of her colleagues and security footage lead him to believe she has been taken. By who and for what is the question and getting to those answers leads John to reconnect with old contacts and some surprising new ones. John is constantly haunted by his past and fearful of the future outcome. With this in mind he delves deeper into an unknown world using unfamiliar sources to get the answers he needs to save his wife. A fast paced and enjoyable read.

This is a fast paced, action filled thriller that took me on a wild ride all over the US. The story centers around an ex military leader, John, trying t0 find his kidnapped wife after he "recruits" the help of a notorious hacker. The plot is one big giant cat and mouse game with lots of players, motives, and unknown enemies. Absolutely loved the story and highly recommend.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
