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
