The Rogue Code
Praise for The Adventures of Tremain & "... I read book two, three, and four. And now I'm back to catch up with book one which I so mysteriously skipped. Because this series is THAT good. ... The storytelling is wonderful. The author has an excellent imagination and his stories are quite enjoyable. They each contain a Y/A adventure, with a little mystery tinged with humor. Give them a try or buy them for a loved one, you'll be glad you did. The future of New Earth is in peril … During the Colony Days celebration on New Earth, after a massive failure of the autonomous vehicle system, Tremain and Christopher attend a talk given by secretive technology maven Lyda Stryker. Rather surprisingly, she claims technology is the cause of society’s ills. Tremain, ever the scientist, disagrees rather wholeheartedly. Technology continues to fail at an alarming rate. Christopher finds he and his friends are the only ones in the path of what Stryker has unleashed. Can they stop the Rogue Code before it’s too late?

The timing of this book’s release puts a unique spin on the conundrum this story presents. Technology has created a world where people are no longer engaging in life beyond the screens they hold in their hands. There is no longer a need to leave the house to buy essentials or hang out with friends. As we are now in the midst of a global pandemic, this ability has become crucial for our survival. We are forced to remain in our homes for the good of human survival. Virtual parties and playdates have become the new norm. We are now using the technology we once isolated ourselves with to reach out and interact with other people.
I absolutely love how the characters are growing and interacting with others, and it’s a good thing since Uncle Tremain inadvertently finds himself in need of help.
In this story, I found it interesting that Tremain humbles himself and demonstrates integrity, two characteristics that are just as important as learning how to code autonomous cars or creating fully flexible tablets. In doing so, however, he learns how deadly technology can be when in the hands of a psychopath.
Christopher is continuing to grow into a fine young man with a good head on his shoulders. He has surrounded himself with loyal friends who are “all-in” when it comes to saving the world. Together, they are tasked with learning the truth behind the autonomous car hack. What could have gotten through all the redundant fail-safes? And that’s not all that’s being hacked.
Watching Christopher grow and learn is like watching one of my own nephews. My heart smiles when I see him interacting with his friends and family. I love that he’s following in his uncle’s footsteps, not just in science, but in a way to better the world.
I have loved this series from the beginning. Tremain seemed to take a backseat to most of this story, but his presence was represented by every decision Christopher made. Asking “what would Uncle Tremain do?” helped guide him through some intense situations. I look forward to learning about that phone call Tremain received…

Tremain and Christopher are back and this time they are racing the clock to stop the destruction of technology as we know it. This story is action-packed from the first page to the last. I love the camaraderie between Christopher and his friends, and his budding first love with Celeste. As with all the books in this series, it's full of humor as well. Lovers of suspense and science fiction will enjoy reading The Rogue Code.

Love this series! The characters and setting are always so fun, so real, you could almost believe it was happening. The Rogue Code was no exception, and delivered adventure, laughter, and a thoughtful commentary on technology that feels so relevant to our current culture.
The stories are short to read, but not short on story. I'm always up for more Tremain and Christopher!

In a (new) world taken over by technology, the people are fortunate to have a leading scientist who thinks about contingencies and installs backup procedures. Otherwise, everyone would be at the mercy of a power-hungry, angry “grinch.” Kids raised on tech can be amazing partners…

The Rogue Code - a review by Rosemary Kenny
MC Tremaine's on his way home to Capitol City on N'Earth, as his home planet's accent would have it.
He's been on vacation at the beach, but has returned to see the Colony Days celebration.
Despite having a photographic memory, he relies on his AI, Solomon, to act remind him in time for the event, as he's so busy running the lab he's worked his way up through to control.
But an egomaniacal tech-supremo has a devious plot...to take out all technology and return New Earth to the Stone Age, under her command.
With Tremain trapped on her island lair, how will Christopher, Squeaks, Zack, Celeste and Tenny work with Solomon, to free their mentor and restore things to (what passes for) normal, before it's too late?
This fascinating, what if...? dystopian, future vision from Terry Marchion, which may well give readers of The Rogue Code pause for thought, about how dependent we all are on technology in our everyday lives.
