Produktbeschreibung

Gingezel 4: Hacker, Illustrated 2nd Edition with AI Art, by Judi Suni Hall and Donald S. Hall

It is time to grasp at straws.The expert team of industrial risk analysts are rapidly eliminating all but design flaws or quantum computer effects as the cause for the reactor overpower that has left the mining colony on Drezvir facing their brutal winter without adequate power. The Farr Sector Judiciary wants a resolution, fast.

The concept of a death penalty ceases to be a concept when lovers Dr. Mitra Kael, power systems engineer and Dr. Dreen Pendi, former head of Nemizcan Computing are arrested. Can either of them let the other take the fall? How hard or easy would it be to just say I'm the one responsible and save your lover's life?

And how stupid would it be? What if the accident isn't an accident, but a malicious hack to the control and safety system? How would you prove traces of a hack? Dreen has his suspicions, and a face to put to those suspicions, but he needs proof.

It turns into a hacker vs hacker battle, where time is of the essence. Where time is the solution. At times like this you need help from your friends. Dreen's hackers Brys and Vennbir are doing what they can, but they need inspiration. Unexpected 'help' from Ghen Kulgalu, the galaxy's drug lord, has Ceb Windegren, one of the most senior members of the Interplanetary Judiciary, en route to Drezvir. He is risking a major inter-sector diplomatic incident, but he needs to know if the overpower was caused by that son of his, or if there is something even more sinister going on.

Science fiction by scientists. Thriller.

Autorenporträt

I am sharing this author page with my husband and co-author Donald S. Hall.

Co-authors Judi Suni Hall, PhD. and Donald S. Hall, PhD. have shared their lives and careers since marrying as undergrads.They both did PhD's in theoretical physics, then moved into industry and worked at AECL, Canada's nuclear research lab.

Judi's PhD. is in theoretical nuclear physics, the kind of modeling used to do stellar interiors. Judi started out designing safety systems for Candu reactors. She shifted to industrial risk analysis, ending up Technical Manager of AECL's RARE (Risk and Reliability Evaluation) Consultancy. In that capacity she worked with a number of industries, including the Canadian Space Agency at the time when the Canadian involvement in International Space Station was first being defined. That lead to the permanent love of the idea of humanity spreading into space.

Don's PhD. is in theoretical physics modeling liquids. Don started out doing research in the design of self-powered neutron detectors, then moved to tomography, and finally Artificial Intelligence. In that role he had the opportunity to work with some of Canada's leading experts in Artificial Intelligence.

En-route to represent Canada at a NASA conference Judi caught a severe virus that changed both of their lives. She shared the infection and the next 10 years were a write off as they struggled to rebuild their lives.

Don now runs Apps & More Software Design. It has recently expanded into psychiatric testing on the iPad and iPhone in collaboration with a Johns Hopkins trained psychiatrist. He also has the caregiver role since Judi spends almost half of her time in bed unable to even read.

In addition to writing science fiction, Judi and Don are internationally published haiga poets.
