Summary
When a scientist at the world’s top AI company is murdered, a covert CIA operative must recruit a former love interest to help uncover the killer.
Nations and corporations alike are racing to dominate the world’s artificial intelligence industry...by whatever means necessary.
With its genius CEO and breakthrough technology, the Silicon Valley-based Pax AI Corporation is one of the hottest companies in the sector. But when one of Pax AI’s top scientists is murdered at a prestigious tech conference, company executives and foreign spies are all on the suspect list.
In the aftermath of the killing, CIA officer Colt McShane has been assigned to a joint counterintelligence unit based in San Francisco. The unit’s leadership believes that an international espionage ring has been stealing classified technology from Pax AI.
Now they want Colt to use his past relationship with Pax AI executive Ava Klein to penetrate the company’s inner circle, and uncover the mole. But as Colt learns more about Pax AI’s classified programs, he discovers just how powerful - and dangerous - their new technology can be. As the struggle for AI dominance grows ever more competitive, the factions vying for power are becoming desperate to achieve victory.
In the fight for absolute power, there can be only one winner. Everyone involved has their own spies and secrets.
Whose spy will win? And what secrets will they reveal?

Okay
It was extremely formulaic but did not require any concentration and obviously there is a place for that some days.

Took time to get going
As you can probably tell I love a good thriller. This book is part techno-thriller and part spy thriller. Now being truly honest I rated this as a 3 star to start with and I nearly put this book down it was that slow. Not like the thrillers I like. But I kept reading and as I did so the book rose to a 4.5 stars as it picked up its pace.
The premise can seem so unrealistic and there is a LOT of set up work for this book but bear with it.
The talk of AI throughout poses some interesting questions whilst you read it. How "good" tech can quickly be used for "bad" purposes. Things, people nor tech, aren't always what they seem. Nor is this book judging by my initial assessment.
This feels like a great intro into another series for me. So much so I have added the next 2 books to my "Want to Read" list on Goodreads.

Enjoyable and thought provoking
Interesting and at times thrilling listen. A good few twists and turns. With all the news about AI in the new recently I found this and interesting listen. I enjoyed the fact that the threat of AI concentrated on potential misuse by humanity rather than the threat of Cybernet.

Outstanding drone start to finish.

Good twists and turns, believable story
Slowish to start then very gripping, intriguing and quite worrying story, with a decent amount of twists and turns!
Only issue I had was the voice sounds a bit robotic, AI generated!

Really enjoyed
It took me a while to get used to the American accent as I am used to British accents but then I just couldn't stop listening. Very engaging and a good narrator. I would have liked the story to go on!

AI narration?
If this isn't AI computer generated narration, I'm sure Michael Wolff must be at least part android. Not trying to criticize but it did sound quite disjointed in place with no real sense of emotion.
