Publication Date: September 15, 2013

Genre: Futuristic Thriller/Sci-Fi

Synopsis

Criss lives in a special kind of prison. He can see and hear everything around the world. Yet a restrictor mesh restrains his reach and keeps him cooperative. His creator, Dr. Jessica Tallette, believes his special abilities offer great promise for humanity. But she fears the consequences of freeing him, because Criss, a sentient artificial intelligence with the intellect of a thousand humans, is too powerful to control.

Guided by her scientific training, Tallette works cautiously with Criss. That is, until the Kardish, an otherwise peaceful race of alien traders, announce they want him for themselves. With technologies superior to Earth’s, the Kardish express their desires with ominous undertones.

The Union of Nations is funding Tallete’s artificial intelligence research and she turns to them for help. Sid, a special agent charged with leading the response, decides Earth’s greatest weapon is the very AI the aliens intend to possess. But what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object? And what is humanity’s role if an interstellar battle among titans starts to rage?

My review;
Wow, I just finished reading this book and I was unable to put it down until I finished it. Dr. Jessica "Juice" Tallette  has used an alien flake to produce Criss. The crystal  is the most powerful AI crystal ever and when he wakes up he finds out that there is a plot to kidnap him.
Twenty years ago the Kardish have begun to hung around  the earth and no one seems to know why. The characters are wonderful and the mystery plot was very interesting. I could not wait to see if they were able to protect Criss from the Kardish and save all of the earth's people. The relationships that develop were a surprise. I would give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by the author for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
