Synopsis
Cyberthugs are stealing our future using supercomputers and Big Data!The amount of data is growing exponentially with input from businesses and every digitally connected person. Brilliant mathematician and spoiled rich girl, Gretchen, is using computing power to control the world stock markets. Her goal: predict the future. A direct descendent of the Nazi Werewolf Clan, Gretchen is driven into building dynamic algorithms containing ethical nihilism to manipulate lives. And she’s stretching her genius.Is Gretchen working alone or is she using resources from the Darknet?R-Group, a high-level information gathering and security team, is tasked to isolate and neutralize the massive processing power required to manipulate world stock markets. Could these cyber schemers be as good at analyzing the information as the R-Group themselves?Breakfield and Burkey focus on technology around supercomputers, Big Data, and analytics. This one will make you ask “who are the winners” when all the information owned by the darknet predicts your future. What Readers Are SayingKirkus “The covert Werewolf Clan, with ties to Nazis, may be responsible and has been using a computer program to accurately predict stock futures. But it has an even more ambitious plan to link supercomputers around the world and potentially manipulate the future.”“Wow this series gets better and better with every book I feel. Stakes are high in this one. More people are using the technology to hire assassins to go after high profile people.”“Creepy use of AI. ICABOD freaks me out. I get nervous as the programming evolves on this. What if it get's turned?”“The technology space would be looked at differently as a “what if” case because we just never know the true nature of our technology world, or who wants to take advantage to abuse it. “
About the Author
Breakfield and Burkey started writing non-fictional papers and books, but it wasn't nearly as fun as writing fictional stories.They found it interesting to use the aspects of technology that people are incorporating into their daily lives more and more as a perfect way to create a good guy/bad guy story with elements of travel to the various places they have visited, either professionally and personally, humor, romance, intrigue,suspense, and a spirited way to remember people who have crossed paths with them. They love to talk about their stories with private and public book readings. Burkey is also conducting regular radio interviews with other authors,which is interesting. Her first interview was, wait for it, Breakfield. You can often find them at local book fairs or other family oriented events.
The original series is based on a family organization called R-Group. Recently they have spawned a subgroup that contains some of the original characters as the Cyber Assassins Technology Services (CATS) team. The authors have ideas for continuing the series in both of these tracks. They track the more than 150 characters on a spreadsheet, with a hidden avenue for the future coined The Enigma Chronicles tagged in some portions of the stories.Fan reviews seem to frequently suggest that these would make good television or movie stories, so the possibilities appear endless, just like their ideas for new stories.
They have completed book video trailers for each of the stories,which can be viewed on YouTube, Amazon's Authors page, or on their website, enigmabookseries.com. Their website is routinely updated with new interviews, answers to readers' questions, book trailers, and contests. You may also find it fascinating to check out the fun acronyms they create for the stories but summarize on their website.
