Book One: Echoes Through Distant Glass
When cyber security defender Owen MacIntyre is tasked to investigate a potential terror threat to the Pacific Northwest, he crosses paths with the unpredictable and tragic Tomás Chen-Diaz and his elder brother, the ruthless Francisco. Soon MacIntyre is trapped in a world where science and technology invade the most sacred realms of the human heart and soul…a world where he'll confront some uncomfortable truths about himself...if he survives.
​
"Full of poetic prose and complex characters, this is a surprising thriller. Set in the not so distant future, it gave me a lot to think about today."---5 star Amazon review
