Product Description
From the Author
Who's behind the rogue bots that are haunting GlobeNet?
I heard about a young man who met a young lady in an online multiplayer game called a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon). He met with her every waking moment for days--flirting, talking, philosophizing, etc. It wasn't until much later that he realized she was a computer.
I heard about a young man who met a young lady in an online multiplayer game called a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon). He met with her every waking moment for days--flirting, talking, philosophizing, etc. It wasn't until much later that he realized she was a computer.
Later I heard about an advanced artificial intelligence entity, a bot, that was mistakenly "set loose" on the Internet during a network test.
These two things were the seeds that led to my second novel, "Terminal Logic."
"Teminal Logic" is the second book featuring Christian virtual reality programmer Ethan Hamilton. In the first book, "Virtually Eliminated," Ethan grapples with a cyberspace mastermind who is executing people online. In "Terminal Logic," Ethan goes up against what he thinks is another such evil genius. He's wrong.
Renegade AI bots begin appearing all over GlobeNet where they should not be, doing what they should not do--including terminating online users--all in the guise of humanity. You see, some of these bots are so advanced, if you don't know you're speaking with a computer you may never figure it out. If you're a soldier and a superior officer visits you online, giving orders, you follow them. Too bad that superior officer was an escapee from an online combat game.
Behind all the rogue bots, there is a unifying intelligence. This personality is omniscient, omnipresent, and virtually omnipotent. And he's bent on activating the US Military's secret ring of attack satellites. Most of his most powerful minions are demonic in appearance. Ethan begins to suspect he's up against the Antichrist.
When the satellite network's defenses fall to this evil one, Ethan must find a way to stop him, or nine-tenths of humanity will perish.

This book rocks!!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Terminal Logic: A Novel (Paperback)
This book was so good I never wanted to put it down. I spent all my free time reading it. It keeps you interested all the way through. I'm into computers so this book really made my day!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Alarmingly plausible, great read!,

This review is from: Terminal Logic: A Novel (Paperback)
I picked this book up on a whim, then couldn't put it back down! If you are at all interested in what might be in store for us in the future, in regards to computers, this is a book that you HAVE to read. It is well written, and the characters seem to have real identites. After you read this one, check out the next one, Fatal Defect, equally as good. Well done Mr. Scott!

Riveting! Couldn't put it down!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Terminal Logic: A Novel (Paperback)
Virtual Reality, neural networks, AI computers that learn, and global connectivity are all elements of fact and not fiction. Take these concepts and evolve them by 10 years, throw in some suspense and a likeable family man as the hero. And put it in a language the average reader can understand...Weave it together the way Jefferson Scott has done, and you have a gripping novel that makes the reader reach for the next Scott rendition. Put it into movie form with Harrison Ford as the hero Ethan Hamilton, and you've got another blockbuster.
