It is our creation. And now, it wants to kill us.

Our ethics and societal rules have allowed us, for years, to locate our position through mobile devices, and manipulate our desires through the internet. Tomorrow, technology will allow uninvited administrators, through brain implants, to control our visual memories and recollections, our behavior and movements. And this is the heart of Albert's story: the interaction of technology with the human brain and the annihilation of dissenters, unclassified individuals, and all kinds of "different" people.

Jim Pierce's prosthetic arm, Kirsten's bionic glasses, the spy and assassin insect-drones, the internet threads of the Collective Consciousness that lobotomize people and create an army of Actives, sound like products of scientific imagination. However... they are already a reality.

Mark Albert writes one thriller better than the previous one - he is a worthy successor to Michael Crichton. Anyone captivated by "The Stolen Equation" will love "The Annihilation". His new book ignites, shocks, terrifies, informs, captivates. Non-stop action, breakneck pace, cutting-edge science, advanced technology, international espionage, consecutive plot twists, political intrigues, breath-taking scenes.

Artificial Intelligence now makes its own plans for the future - plans that do not include humans.

Jim Pierce longs for his daughter - she left him as soon as she learned that her father was doing the "dirtiest" job in the secret services of the US Army.

He loves her very much, even though he knows she is the most active hacker of InfoLeaks. As he struggles under the deadly grip of the assassin who has invaded his office demanding to know where his daughter is, he realizes that his precious one has "broken" some very critical secrets...

... And while Jim searches for her kidnapper, he realizes that he is not simply facing the ultimate threat to his daughter. Artificial Intelligence has turned against its creators and has no intention of letting them - or any other humans - survive for long.
