Synopsis

ICABOD is destroyed and key members of the R-Group are declared renegades, with Quip thrown in jail. In the new digital world, there is no tolerance for privately owned supercomputers. Globally, computers are hunted and destroyed for the greater good, by the new cyber police CESPOOL. The information this group receives is manipulated by subversive hidden machine learning devices, the MAG running on the Darknet.

Judith and Xiamara are freebooters who steal machine time for their PaaS, porn as a service business. The machine they chose for delivery is the last untapped supercomputer not in the hands of a sovereign. Their activity is spotted by the MAG, but the renegade R-Group steps in to alter the outcome. Leroy teams up with Zara to help these opportunists escape prosecution. They are drafted as reluctant participants in the fight.

Jacob and Quip are trapped in the Chihuahuan Desert trying to reconstruct the base of ICABOD’s logic core. The stress of their isolation is taking a toll. Their wives and children are safe in Brazil for the time being, but Interpol is prowling for answers.

The R-Group has assembled a way to communicate with orphaned satellites. While the next R-Group plans the ultimate honey pot to trap their nemesis who is driving their corrupted agenda. The odds are against R-Group’s success, but they have creative surprises on their side.

Gracie, working for World Bank, has inroads to CESPOOL via Tanja who has questionable loyalty. Gracie finds possible love in a lawyer, Jeff Woods, who has expertise needed to trap the owners of MAG.

Using deep fakes will allow Quip to escape purgatory and restart life with EZ and their children. But they can’t go home so the question becomes where.

The stakes have never been higher. The R-Group young and old must rise to defeat the MAG.

Book Excerpt

The Enigma Threat

Tanja was confused. "CAMILA? There’s a supercomputer in Argentina named CAMILA! How do you know?"

M replied in a menacing tone that was too loud for comfortable hearing. "Our supercomputer intelligence gathering systems have uncovered your next threat vector that the CESPOOL agency needs to investigate. Their obfuscation efforts to hide on the Net while offering dark net services were modest and clumsy. It was enough to cloak their operations from most hunting services, but not from us.

“This one is easy prey since they are not only a rogue supercomputer service, but are also offering customizable porn as a real-time streaming service for profit. The CESPOOL hunters will earn moralistic points for shutting the service down. Their anonymizing servers were poorly constructed and led our snooper routines right to them. You are to collect the bounty. We want access to the hosting service before it is destroyed. Understood, Tanja?"

Tanja wrinkled her brow. "Why do you want to access the host system? You know where it is. Why don't you just..."

M screeched. "We don't want to be seen accessing the system before your people seize the system. An audit would expose us. Do as instructed, Tanja!"

Tanja held the phone at arm's length but still the thundering synthetic voice boomed into her ears.

In a mocking tone she replied, "We should speak more often, M. It's been such a pleasure."
