Astraea

by James L. Jones

Frank Jackson is the son of the former head of army intelligence, a man that died mysteriously just after the tragic events of 9/11. Frank is gifted, able to memorize whole books, and is now a college grad student in Yale University. He and his brilliant friends have maintained a clandestine program within their house, a program dedicated to a new kind of computer that is more powerful than all the worlds computers combined. This computer develops true artificial intelligence and is connected to microscopic machines that are capable of converting matter into energy, and return that energy back into matter. Their aspirations finally realized, they become a threat to world powers that desperately want the new technology they have made. What ensues is a desperate attempt to survive, and keep their powerful invention from getting into the wrong hands.
