Dark Matter

'If you are watching this videotape then I am dead ...' Yesterday, David Tennant was a highly respected Ethicist with the ear of the President, working on a top secret Government project. Yesterday, he was a man recovering from personal tragedy, just learning to live again. Yesterday, he was falling in love. Today, he is running for his life. Project Trinity has the power to change life forever. Only a few, handpicked men and women know the potential of the biggest artificial intelligence study the world has ever seen. Now, one of those men is dead - and Tennant knows Dr Fielding's death wasn't all it seemed. Suddenly his friend's warnings cannot be dismissed as paranoia. They are the only reason that Tennant is still alive. Today, David Tennant is one man against the state, and he's fast learning the only rule of survival: Trust no-one. Not even yourself. An explosive thriller from the worldwide bestselling author Greg Iles, reissued with a distinctive, edgy new livery. In the heart of North Carolina's Research Triangle stands a corporate laboratory much like the others nearby. But behind its walls, America's top scientists work around the clock to attain the holy grail of the 21st century-a supercomputer that surpasses the power of the human mind. Appointed by the President as ethicist to Project Trinity, Dr. David Tennant finds himself in a pressure-cooker of cutting edge science and colossal ambition. When his friend and fellow scientist is murdered, David discovers that the genius who runs Project Trinity was responsible and that his own life is in danger. Unable to reach the President, and afraid to trust his colleagues, David turns to Rachel Weiss, the psychiatrist probing the nightmares that have plagued him during his work at Trinity. Rachel is skeptical of David's fears, but when an assassin strikes, the two doctors must flee for their lives. Pursued across the globe by ruthless National Security Agency operatives, David and Rachel struggle to piece together the truth behind the Project Trinity, and the enormous power it could unleash upon the world. As constant danger deepens their intimacy, Rachel realizes the key to Trinity lies buried in David's disturbed mind. But Trinity's clock is ticking... Mankind is being held hostage by a machine that cannot be destroyed. Its only hope--a terrifying chess game between David and the Trinity computer, with the cities of the world as pawns. But what are the rules? How human is the machine? Can one man and woman change the course of history? Man's future hangs in the balance, and the price of failure is extinction.
