In a near-future dystopia, Dr. Aisling Ramsey, a distinguished scientist, is racing against time. Diagnosed with only months to live, she is close to a breakthrough in curing cancer, including her own. Her revolutionary technologies catch the attention of a dictator, who sees them as key to his sinister ambitions.
As her lifelong dream of a space-faring humanity slips away, Aisling's journey intersects with Jonas Williams, her business partner whose conservative values often conflict with her own, and Nat Garcia, an estranged retired military veteran and bodyguard whose mother battles cancer. Together, they face a crumbling world, where personal dreams are overshadowed by political schemes.

The Adjacent Probable by Skylar Ray Foxx is a riveting, thought-provoking exploration of a dystopian world shaped by conflicting agendas. The narrative weaves through the lives of a brilliant scientist, a conscientious hero, a conservative businessman, a powerful demagogue, and a digital genius. Foxx masterfully blends elements of speculative fiction with current realities, creating a story that is both fantastical and strikingly relevant. While the scientific concepts may be complex, Foxx's storytelling makes these ideas accessible and deeply engaging. This novel is a must-read for fans of science fiction and those intrigued by the interplay of technology and society. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the possibilities of our future, both hopeful and dire.

After a string of disappointing Sci-Fi reads, I approached "The Adjacent Probable" with tempered expectations. But I'm delighted to report that this novel exceeded my expectations and proved to be a hidden gem – a lucky find that I'm so glad I stumbled upon!
The author has masterfully crafted a vivid and immersive portrayal of a dystopian society, where a tyrannical president holds absolute power. The narrative skillfully explores the profound impact of this oppressive regime on the lives of the main protagonist and those around them, weaving a compelling tale of resilience and struggle. The poignant journey of Aisling, Nat, and Jonas, marked by their heart-wrenching struggles and devastating losses, fosters a deep emotional connection with the reader. I found myself completely invested in their story, feeling like I was right there with them, experiencing their anguish, sorrow, and terror firsthand. The use of multiple perspectives adds a rich layer of depth to the narrative, allowing for a truly immersive reading experience. This narrative masterfully weaves together the intricate threads of family dynamics, exploring the complexities and challenges that arise from the bonds of kinship. At its core, the story is a powerful exploration of the human spirit, delving into the struggles of maintaining faith and hope in the face of unimaginable adversity. With unflinching honesty, it portrays the difficult choices and moral dilemmas that test one's resolve to do what is right, even when the world seems to be at its darkest.
If you're a fan of intellectually stimulating science fiction, like 'Transcendence' or the literary mastery of Dan Brown's 'Digital Fortress', then this novel is sure to resonate with you. I'm thoroughly hooked on The Adjacent Series and eagerly anticipate exploring more of Skylar Ray Foxx's captivating works. With their skillful fusion of technology, suspense, and philosophical inquiry, Foxx has earned a spot on my must-read list.

THE ADJACENT PROBABLE is one of the best stories I've read in a while. However, due to formatting issues, a lot was taken from the story for me. I viewed it on my Kindle app on the cell phone and also my Kindle eReader. The other thing that took away from the story for me is that I had to keep looking up some of the Spanish words, esp the slang. I did go back and reread the cover pages to make sure I didn't have the Netgalley uncorrected proof, but unfortunately, it wasn't.
THE ADJACENT PROBABLE takes you to a time and place in which the president is a dictator in the making, a private company has a cure for cancer and Aisling, along with Daryl her AI, has a new lease on life.
As the story opens, we see Aisling, a brilliant human being with cancer on the verge of finding a cure. She wants to freely give the cure to all who need it, while the company looks at the bottom line. President Dolion is the would be dictator looking for the longevity research so he can rule the world no matter the cost. Jonas is the Christian father just trying to survive and decide how far he can go. Nat is out of the military, trying to live with her past and the life she has been given.
THE ADJACENT PROBABLE has so much from today's circumstances incorporated that the reader can't help but believe today's impossible could be possible. If you like true science fiction, you definitely need to read this.
