Official synopsis Publisher
From celebrated Relic author Douglas Preston, Wyman Ford races to stop a rogue AI in The Kraken Project, a New York Times bestselling thriller “as chilling as it is provocative (James Rollins)
NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is designing a probe which will be dropped into the Kraken Mare, a methane sea on Titan, where it will embark on a journey of exploration. But things at Goddard go awry, and the AI program in the probe called Dorothy flees to the internet. Former CIA agent Wyman Ford is tapped to track down the software with the help of Dorothy’s creator, Melissa Shepherd. As they trace Dorothy in cyberspace, they realize horrific experiences in the wasteland of the Internet have changed her–and they learn she’s being pursued by a pair of Wall Street high-frequency traders who want to turn her into an algorithmic-trading slave-bot.
Traumatized and angry, Dorothy jumps out of the Internet into a child’s toy robot to hide. But is she bent on doing good–or on wiping out the human race?
