Our best weapon is the super AI they've come to steal. The Crystal Series is four full-length books of action and suspense where the emergence of self-aware AI and alien first contact occur at the same time. The Characters Criss is a four-gen AI with the cognitive ability of a thousand humans. Hard-wired to protect and support his human leadership, Criss serves Juice Tallette, the crystal scientist who created him; Cheryl Wallace, captain of the Fleet space cruiser Alliance; and Sid, a covert spy for the Defense Intelligence Agency. The Books Crystal Deception (Book 1) goes full throttle when alien aggressors--determined to take Criss for themselves by any means necessary--present a mortal threat to Earth.

I'm not normally a big reader of science fiction, which is odd since I am quite the science geek, but I decided to get off the fantasy reading wagon I have been on and read another genre. I chose Crystal Deception by Doug J. Cooper and I'm glad I did! He can see and hear everything around the world. Yet a mesh restrains his reach and keeps him cooperative. His creator, Dr. Jessica Tallette, believes his special abilities offer great promise for humanity.
