Kira Miller is a brilliant scientist who discovers how to temporarily boost human IQ to dizzying levels. But this transcendent intelligence brings with it a ruthless megalomania. Determined to use her discovery to propel human civilization to a higher plane, despite this side effect, Kira and ex-special forces operative David Desh recruit a small group of accomplished scientists, all of whom are safely off the grid. Or so they think...
Soon Kira and her team are fighting for their lives against unknown but powerful adversaries. Worse still, while on the run and being relentlessly attacked from all quarters, Kira comes across evidence of savage acts that the enhanced version of Desh kept hidden, even from himself. Now both she and Desh must question everything they think they know. Can they trust each other? Can they even trust themselves?
And all the while, the greatest threat of all may be coming from an entirely unexpected direction. A threat that could lead to devastation on a global scale. And time is quickly running out...
Like its predecessor, Amped is a smart thriller crammed with breakneck action, unexpected twists, mind-blowing science, and philosophical and ethical concepts listeners will be contemplating long after they've finished listening.

My main critique of the story was that, even though written in the omniscient voice throughout, the main female character was left to do a very long Perry Mason style wrapup at the end. The point of the omniscient is that the author can reveal events as they happen and not keep the reader so much in the dark about what is really going on that it takes a whole chapter to sum up.
But I did enjoy the super mind action hero flavor throughout.
Good concept. Mediocre execution.

This appears to be the conclusion to the two book series. And while I'm disappointed there won't be more from these characters, this was a great story to end on.
Doug Richards knows how to raise the stakes

OK story

However, after a great deal of thought, I found the premise mirrors what is going on in our nation 2 weeks before the 2016 election cycle and it is troubling.
Fantastic but troubling!
