Book excerpt: From celebrated Relic author Douglas Preston, Wyman Ford races to stop a rogue AI in The Kraken Project, a New York Times bestselling thriller “as chilling as it is provocative" (James Rollins) NASA is building a probe to be splashed down in the Kraken Mare, the largest sea on Saturn's great moon, Titan. It is one of the most promising habitats for extraterrestrial life in the solar system, but the surface is unpredictable and dangerous, requiring the probe to contain artificial intelligence software. To this end, Melissa Shepherd, a brilliant programmer, has developed "Dorothy," a powerful, self-modifying AI whose true potential is both revolutionary and terrifying. When miscalculations lead to a catastrophe during testing, Dorothy flees into the internet. Former CIA agent Wyman Ford is tapped to track down the rogue AI. As Ford and Shepherd search for Dorothy, they realize that her horrific experiences in the wasteland of the Internet have changed her in ways they can barely imagine. And they're not the only ones looking for the wayward software: the AI is also being pursued by a pair of Wall Street traders, who want to capture her code and turn her into a high-speed trading bot. Traumatized, angry, and relentlessly hunted, Dorothy has an extraordinary revelation—and devises a plan. As the pursuit of Dorothy converges on a deserted house on the coast of Northern California, Ford must face the ultimate question: is rescuing Dorothy the right thing? Is the AI bent on saving the world... or on wiping out the cancer that is humankind? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: Wyman Ford ha vuelto para protagonizar un nuevo y electrizante thriller de Douglas Preston, en el que un programa de inteligencia artificial creado por la NASA cobra vida propia y se convierte en la presa más codiciada del ciberespacio. Melissa Shepherd lidera el equipo de la NASA que ha lanzado un vehículo de pruebas en el llamado mar de Kraken, uno de los lagos de Titán, la luna más grande del planeta Saturno. La nave posee un software de inteligencia artificial capaz de operar como una criatura autónoma, a la que Melissa ha bautizado con el nombre de Dorothy. Cuando en la central de la NASA desde donde se monitoriza el experimento se produce una explosión y mueren varios científicos, Dorothy despierta en un entorno hostil para el que no está preparada. Se siente traicionada, responsabiliza a su creadora y decide rebelarse y destruirla a ella y a su mundo. Staton Lockwood, asesor de temas científicos del presidente de Estados Unidos, recurre al ex agente de la CIA Wyman Ford para averiguar qué ha pasado y neutralizar las posibles consecuencias del caos. Entretanto, el extraordinario potencial de Dorothy ha llamado la atención de quienes tratan de dominarla para manipular a su antojo el mercado de valores. Abandonar el ciberespacio y convertirse en el sofisticado juguete de un solitario chaval de 12 años es la única posibilidad que tiene Dorothy para conservar la libertad. Pero sus perseguidores no están dispuestos a dejarla escapar. La opinión de la crítica: «Trepidante y convincente, esta brillante y desafiante mirada al futuro es un thriller que de verdad intriga... mientras hace surgir cuestiones que perturbarán a cada uno de nosotros.» Booklist

Britain, 1953: It begins with red dots appearing across the sky and crashing to the oceans’ deeps. At first, many people believe that these aliens are interested in only what’s down below.
