Publisher's summary

In "Behind the Curtain," the fate of civilization is precariously balanced.

Tucked away in a secret CIA bunker, Terry Ferrow, a genius in Artificial Intelligence, has dedicated decades to the "Bright Futures Project." His creation, an advanced AI neural brain chip, was meant to change the world for the better.

However, as Terry delved into his groundbreaking work, the world above descended into chaos. Society became trapped in a web of mass surveillance, its freedom slipping away under the watch of a corrupt government. These "Enlightened Ones" twisted Terry's invention into a tool of oppression.

The stakes couldn't be higher as Terry squares off against the monstrous reality his brain chip spawned. Can he break the shackles of his own making and free humanity from the jaws of a technological nightmare? Or will he be consumed by the very beast he unleashed?

Prepare for a gripping tale as Terry Ferrow battles to dismantle the chains forged by his creation. "Behind the Curtain" is not just a story about redemption; it's an epic narrative of a man fighting to save a world on the edge. Watch as humanity teeters on the brink in this pulse-pounding saga, where the outcome will determine the very soul of civilization.

Fantastic narrator

The narrator is awesome - that's the first thing to say. And then the book delivers everything you need. Suspense. Great pacing. And it's just fun to listen to. I dug it.

One of the best dystopia, action-adventure stories I ever read.

It's been awhile since I've listened to a story that had me at the edge of my seat (even while driving). It has the right balance of mystery, intrigue, action, and plot twists that kept you guessing and rooting for the good guys. The way it was narrated made you care for the protagonists of the story, despise the antagonists, wonder if there was someone who was gonna betray them, and if the heroes were going to make it. Again, a great story. Nicely done.
