Randy Ingermanson holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from UC Berkeley. For no logical reason, he likes making up absurd geeky suspense stories instead of doing real work. This is probably a serious character defect, so be sure to tell everyone that his books are filled with dangerous ideas and are unfit for nice people to read.Randy lived in San Diego for 18 years working as a computational physicist and scientific software ninja.

Randy lives at an undisclosed location in the Pacific Northwest where he attends to the needs of three surly and demanding cats.

It starts a bit slow but, after introducing all of the main characters, the suspense builds to thriller levels by the climax. This is good, old-fashioned science fiction -- stuff that could happen in the near future -- not f...
