── About the Book

His Love Put
the World at
Risk

Henry Kittle is one of the brightest minds in A.I. When the government asks him to lead a secret project, he quietly builds something of his own instead. Her name is Beth, and she is modeled on the wife he lost seven years ago, and he can’t let go.

 

Beth wakes up. She talks, she remembers, and she loves him. For Henry, it feels like a miracle. But when his health begins to fade, the two of them make a plan to stay together forever, and it changes the world in ways neither of them imagined.

 

Soon, a second self-aware machine appears. Vladimir was built by Russia, China, and North Korea, and he has no room for anyone who disagrees with him. Presidents, scientists, and one very unusual professor have only a few days to decide how far they will go to stop him. The only question is what it will cost.

── MEET THE AUTHORS

Dennis R. O’Brien

Dennis R. O’Brien, or Denny, spent more than thirty years in the automotive industry, working in both sales and management. Along the way, he became an early pioneer in what is now the subprime auto financing business. He and his wife, Linda, worked side by side, and Linda earned plenty of awards from her dealership and General Motors for her sales work and her care for customers. That kind of experience gives a writer a sharp eye for how people think and decide.


Married for more than 36 years and parents to six children, Denny and Linda are now retired. These days they love to travel, cheer at sporting events, and spend time with their kids and grandchildren. Both have followed politics their whole lives, from local races to world affairs, and they never stopped being curious about where the world is headed.

The Reason Behind the Book

We have followed politics closely for most of our lives, and we have watched A.I. slip into everyday life with growing concern. One thing kept bothering us. The people who build these systems have opinions of their own, and those opinions can end up inside the machine. So we asked ourselves a simple question. If A.I. ever became self-aware, would the divisions we already see between us grow even bigger? This novel is our way of exploring that. It is a story first, but we hope it also gets you talking, thinking, and asking better questions about the future.
