Three Black Swans

Hunt Goodwill, a reclusive biotech tycoon, lived a life of opulent obscurity in New Jersey's Sourland Mountains until a dormant brain tumor turned malignant from exposure to a human-engineered virus. Desperate, he seeks help from Hillary, his AI supercomputer, which reconnects him with Dr. Jackie Cunningham, a high school flame and celebrity therapist. Hillary's brain works overtime to find a cure for Hunt's terminal cancer. Meanwhile, Jackie suggests that Peter Carver, Hunt's lawyer, revise his will. During their conference, Hunt discloses he wants to 'make a difference' before he dies. Attorney Carver has deep-state connections and introduces him to Dr. Alan Sanderson, Assistant Director of Homeland Security. Dr. Sanderson informs Hunt about Operation Three Black Swans, a last-ditch scheme developed by the Wagner Group. With Russian President Vlad's support, the plan is to dominate the world by simultaneously flooding it with an enhanced virus, attacking financial centers, and destroying energy sources. Homeland Security lost many agents in its efforts to disrupt the plot and prevent a global catastrophe. Believing that he has nothing to lose, Hunt volunteers for a suicide mission to find and kill Dimitri, the mastermind. When they meet in London, Hunt learns they have both been played. Who is behind Three Black Swans now? The solution: set a trap to expose real villains. The explosive ending offers a glimpse of what future warfare might look like and how one man, using AI, might prevent our extinction. This techno-thriller explores a brave new world of engineered viral weapons, sentient AI supercomputers, intelligent drones, amorous robots, intense human passion, and clandestine cloak-and-dagger intrigue.
