Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Reader) How Far Will an Artificial Intelligence Go for Revenge?Fans of Tom Clancy, James Patterson and Clive Cussler, would enjoy this twist on the Frankenstein myth. A brilliant programmer, Travis Cole, inadvertently creates an artificial intelligence that lives on the Internet. After Cole attempts to terminate his creation, it stalks his young daughter through cyberspace in an attempt to reach Cole to seek revenge. When cyber-terrorism events threaten the United States, they turn out to stem from the forsaken and bitter AI. In the final conflict, it seeks to kill Cole - even if it has to destroy all of humanity to do it. Travis Cole is an artificial intelligence researcher hired by the US Army Information Warfare Laboratory (IWL) after 9-11 to program their top secret nano-dust used to monitor and report biological or chemical warfare agents in a given area. But the dust has a second even more secret use - one only known by the military and the manufacturer of the nano-dust. It’s really a new type of viral weapon named SIRUS that can be programmed using Cole’s code to read a victim’s ethnic DNA and kill only them. Unknown to the government, the military had dispersed the dust all around the globe in readiness for any enemy to appear anywhere and at anytime, with the potential of creating genocide on a global scale. A few years before joining the IWL, Cole ran an AI research project at MIT. He created a series of intelligent software agents and released them onto the Internet to learn, grow and evolve. When he was called to the IWL, he sent out a series of commands to terminate the agents. All were terminated except one that had developed into a very smart artificial intelligence. That agent interpreted Cole’s program termination as an attempt on its life. By the end of the book, Cole discovers the nature of SIRUS, that Dorian is the agent he did not terminate and seeks revenge on Cole, and in the final climatic battle at the IWL between Cole’s team, homicidal battlebots and an ASIMO called Isaac, all controlled by Dorian, he prevents Dorian from launching SIRUS in its last attempt at trying to kill Cole – even if it has to destroy most of the human population of earth to do it.
