Ecellent read, this is a book that stands out as something special. Great story, well plotted and unmissable,.
A thrilling revenge story. Looks awesome. Can't wait to get my paws on it!
Great premise, cool cover!
Good pace and well thought out. I love Glenn's writing style and the depth of his characters always keeps me interested. Great book !
Love the writing style, the 'voice' that sounds so clear its like he's sitting next to my bed reading to me. Check out his website; it's cool without being in any way contrived. Great cover designs, too. This writer is 'one to watch', as they say. Not all short story writers try their hands at novel writing - Carver didn't - but I can't help feeling that if Glenn doesn't it would constitute a crime in its own right. For now, though, let this little gem wet your appetite!

The Potential
The Potential David A. Davies
It began when he got behind the wheel. It didn’t end with his first kill.
Chris Morehouse is a chauffeur for the US Government in Germany. Navigating his way through the tight streets of Bonn, he encounters a sight he one day half expected. The US ambassador to Germany’s car coming under attack. His fight-or-flight instinct kicked in, but he was conflicted. This wasn’t his fight. Should he move forward and engage the enemy as he was trained, or look the other way and speed off to safety?
With an uncanny ability to take in everything and size up a situation instantly, Chris aimed his car at a machine-gun toting terrorist and mashed the gas. It would be his first kill for the CIA, but it would not be his last.

But when an old brain hacker cult resurfaces, and a sentient AI is set to govern the entire human population, she starts seeing things. Horrors that can’t possibly be real… that make no sense… that only she can see. Ix, their AI Guardian, is abducting innocent citizens from the streets in broad daylight. And it’s using the Augmented Reality it has thrown over the world as cover. Is the AI hellbent on humanities destruction? Or is her mind tearing itself apart again?
