Publisher's summary
Terrorism. Acts of oppression. The threat of nuclear war. What if one madman aboard a vessel could end these fears forever?
Commander Rochelle "Rocky" Jackson is aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan when the "unsinkable" naval vessel and its entire fleet are attacked from the depths and sunk. As Rocky struggles to stay alive, a monstrous mechanical steel stingray surfaces, plowing through the seas it now commands.
The US Navy-designed Goliath is a futuristic nuclear stealth submarine in the shape of a stingray. Simon Covah, a brilliant scientist whose entire family were the victims of terrorism, has hijacked the sub. Believing violence is a disease, Covah aims to use the Goliath and its cache of nuclear weapons to dictate policy to the world regarding the removal of oppressive regimes and nuclear weapons.
Could the threat of violence forge a lasting peace?
But there is another player in this life-and-death chess match: unbeknownst to Covah and the Goliath crew, the Goliath's biochemical computer brain has become self-aware - and it's developing its own agenda.

Story
Dante's Inferno, his depiction of hell, was written while Europe was suffering through war, famine, the corruption of the Church, and the evils of the pogrom - the brutal massacre of countless Jews. Shortly after Dante's passing, the black plague killed off half the world's population, an end-of-days-like event that birthed a legend depicted in paintings and dance: the Grim Reaper. What few people know is that Dante's poem draws inspiration from the Zohar, an ancient text that warns that the true end of days will be brought on by the corruption of man.

Now, a near-death experience suffered while on expedition in the Sargasso Sea has caused these long-forgotten memories to resurface.

The United States is under attack. From the sea and the sky, the devastating attacks come, crippling the US military's ability to respond. Thousands have been killed and injured. For President Cord Macklin, this is the greatest challenge of his life, greater than risking his life in the skies over Vietnam and greater than guiding the country through some of the most trying times. But none has been more trying than this. Below the sea, a predator stalks the pride of America's Navy: its aircraft carriers. Deadly and silent, this killer seems able to elude all efforts to find it.

Story
Dante's Inferno, his depiction of hell, was written while Europe was suffering through war, famine, the corruption of the Church, and the evils of the pogrom - the brutal massacre of countless Jews. Shortly after Dante's passing, the black plague killed off half the world's population, an end-of-days-like event that birthed a legend depicted in paintings and dance: the Grim Reaper. What few people know is that Dante's poem draws inspiration from the Zohar, an ancient text that warns that the true end of days will be brought on by the corruption of man.

Charlie and his friends enter the God Game, a video game run by underground hackers and controlled by a mysterious AI that believes it’s God. Through their phone screens and high-tech glasses, the teens’ realities blur with a virtual world of creeping vines, smoldering torches, runes, glyphs, gods, and mythical creatures. When they accomplish a mission, the game rewards them with expensive tech, revenge on high-school tormentors, and cash flowing from ATMs. Slaying a hydra and drawing a bloody pentagram as payment to a Greek god seem harmless at first. Fun even.

Not a bad book but not the best either
The narrator was awesome! He did a great job with the accents. The story line wasn't bad but was predictable. I felt really bad for some of the characters for what they had gone through in the past and could understand why they were doing what they were doing. By the end of the book, I really disliked the female protagonist. I found her really annoying. It was as if one minute she hated Gunnar and then the next she loved him again.

A great read.
Although the story seemed to lope along at times, this has proven to be one book that was difficult to put down. I found it to be very thought-provoking, as well as giving readers a frightening perspective on where things could go within the field of artificial intelligence.

Fascinating idea with flat characters
I really liked this book. The plot was engaging and well paced. It was difficult to find fact vs fiction. The author was clearly ready to let the bad guys get away with some major things, which was exciting.
The main characters felt a little like cardboard cutouts. The main villain was excellently crafted however!
I could have done with less deep technical specs but it was clear he author has done his research.
A very fun read!

mostly boring
political ramblings, life histories of innumerable characters. very little actusl story, what there is of a plot drags on forever and ever. great book to fall asleep to.

I admit I only made it through an hour of this book. The narration was terrible. However, I don’t think the best narrator could have saved this silly teenager's English paper.
