Mind in the Clouds

Written by Bruce M. Perrin

Narrated by Denver C. Risley

A suspenseful whodunit, where not all the suspects are human

Finalist, Wishing Shelf Book Awards

Recently graduated Ruger-Phillips employee, Dr. Sam “Doc” Price, is looking forward to his new project—evaluating training for a team. But it’s a team like no other because only one of the team members is human. The other is one of the most intelligent and lethal machines ever built by man – the Joint Aerial Combat Capability (JACC). Loaded with the latest in detection and threat assessment technology, JACC is a silent, deadly military drone.

Doc soon discovers, however, that JACC may not be the only killer on the remote, Nevada test range when he finds himself in a cat and mouse game with an unknown adversary. In a fight for his life and the lives of his friends, Doc asks himself, how do you match wits with the mind in the clouds when you’re not sure if you’re facing the cold, exact logic of machine intelligence or the coldblooded urges of a human killer?

Bruce M. Perrin

Bruce Perrin has been writing for more than twenty-five years, although you will find much of that work only in professional technical journals or conference proceedings. After receiving a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and completing a career in psychological research and development at a major aerospace company, he's now applying his background to writing fiction. Not surprisingly, most of his work falls in the techno-thriller, mystery, and hard science fiction genres, examining the intersection of technology and the human mind now and in the future. Besides writing, Bruce likes to tinker with home automation and is an avid hiker. When he is not on the trails, he lives with his wife in Aurora, CO.
