Battle to Own the Future: A Techno Thriller Murder Mystery Featuring Crime Detective Jack Baron

Stunning advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will soon change society forever, for better or for worse. Powerful companies and nation states are engaged in a battle to possess artificial superintelligence (ASI) and own the future of our small planet.

Jack Baron is a former Detective Chief Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police turned private detective. He has been recruited by one of the United Kingdom's (UK's) foremost AI scientists. The Professor has been charged with the rape and murder of a young student, a crime he strenuously denies. Is he guilty, or has he been framed by unknown forces aiming to destroy the UK's AI research programmes?

Fellow scientists working on AI are apparently committing suicide or meeting untimely accidental deaths at an alarming rate. This is all too reminiscent of the "Marconi Mystery" where scientists and engineers working on British and American defence projects died in mysterious circumstances forty years earlier. Western Governments are worried.

Can Jack Baron save UK scientists at the forefront of the AI revolution, identify the forces at play, and eliminate them? Just one look at the giant of a man and you would not deny him a chance of pulling it off.
