When Lenore Johnson is sent by her student newspaper editor to a non-descript derelict building on the south side of Chicago to interview the owner of an innovative company named NewStarts, she has no idea how much life as she knew it is about to change. After befriending Tony, a quantum-based artificial life form developed by NewStarts to pilot self-driving automobiles, Lenore becomes ensnared in far-reaching schemes meant to protect humanity from not only the dangers that abound about them but from foibles of their own making. What she once believes is simply a chance meeting of a nameless murderous boy who will one day be known as The Monk becomes Lenore’s only hope of salvation as she waits out the end of her days living in a wasteland, hiding both from Tony and from what she has become. As everybody she knows comes under the sway of Tony, Lenore gradually discovers her own involvement in the ominous plot being hatched at NewStarts. Can she save humanity from the spell cast by Tony? Or will she too finally succumb to the lure of forever?
I am a bit confused with the book and the explanation on the page, I found the read interesting,but not sure where it is going. The author introduces some of the characters in this short read that is part one of the series. The book is intriguing as the reader reads bits and pieces of the lives that I think are going to interact and by the summary on the page end up in a science fiction story. The three star rating is mostly for this author's good writing, but I'd like to see where the story goes from here.
