At a time when Artificial Intelligence is on everyone's lips and in everyone's thoughts, the author proposes a debate on the ethics of using AI. How? Through a dynamic and dramatic story, like a war diary. Because the story begins with a country in crisis, fighting an unseen enemy. The adventure of those who try to neutralize the disaster that threatens the entire world takes them far from their homeland. The epic ending is as good as the action and... But I don't want to spoil the surprise for the reader.
Personally, I liked the foray into Jim Smith's past, written with sensitivity and humanism. It's about a man who receives more than he can bear.

Good story
This was a good story, a bit hard for me to follow, as I had not read the previous books in this series.
This is a hard AI story that begins in the middle of major fighting issues.
Thank you, M J Dees, for a good book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and this is my honest review.
