⭐⭐⭐⭐
An enjoyable book combining the beauty of nature with the edge of a techno-thriller.
DJ Parker was on top of his game. Owner and CEO of a multi-billion dollar software company, he was about to release new technology that would see his star rise even further. He was on the verge of releasing a new bio-metric system with AI technology that would be completely game changing.
Shortly before the official release, DJ receives news that his father James has passed away. DJ had been estranged from his father for some time, due to philosophical differences in his father's work - Marine entertainment parks featuring live Orcas, also known as killer whales.
While attending to his father's estate, DJ learns that the gap in their differences was narrowing during their estrangement, and his father was conducting research hoping to prove the intelligence of these gentle sea creatures. Not only did the research have the potential to affect the future of marine parks, it had some results that could be applied to DJ's new technology. The effects of combining his father's work and his own, had the potential to change the way humans live and connect on a global scale. But a Russian group with ties to the Kremlin is willing to do anything to get this technology and twist it to their own nefarious goals.
The one thing that really stands out in this book, is the author's love and passion for Orcas and the preservation of their habitat. By creating a work of fiction around a subject he is passionate about, he has written a book that is at once entertaining and educating. I learned a fair bit about the Southern Resident Killer whales - their habitat, social structure, diet preferences, all the while being entertained. If seeing these magnificent creatures hadn't been on my bucket list before, it would be now.
The narration for this audiobook was performed by B.J. Harrison. His voice was clear, and he read with a pleasant tone and cadence. His character range made it easy to follow the story.
All said, an enjoyable story that makes me long to be by the ocean.
Happy Reading,
Christine
