Caliban Rising: A Speculative Thriller

Something is about to be born that shouldn't be. What it is, nobody knows-it's hidden on Caliban Island, in the Caribbean, access denied. A Silicon-Valley whiz-kid bought the island, then immediately blacked it out. Intelligence agency eyebrows went up. So they sent in an operative, undercover. He never came back. Now it's veteran-agent Willie Deane's turn. He finds mercenaries patrolling the compound, heavily armed. They don't like Willie, and he has no weapons. In the island's research facility, the Sugar Cube, weird robots wander. Meanwhile, workers disappear, one by one. Willie suspects they're thrown from the compound's Black Hawk helicopter. Or fed to the island's feral Bengal tiger. Next on the to-kill list: Willie Deane. It gets worse-Willie's most formidable adversary isn't even alive. Yet, it wields stratospheric intelligence. It's still an infant, but it's learning. Second by second. Willie aims to save lives, including his own. But he has only his wits. Will they be enough? This page-turner sizzles with suspense. It's mesmerizing. And-just maybe-it's prophetic. Treat yourself to Caliban Rising.
