Terrorists and Technology Clashin a Computer Hall-of-Famer's First Sci-Fi Thriller
PUB. DATE: MAY 2007 — AVAILABLE NOW — Can the Aremac
Project Save a Bomb-Shattered Chicago from Terrorists Bent
on Destruction and Extortion? To find out, read THE AREMAC
PROJECT, a new sci-fi thriller by award-winning author Gerald M.
Weinberg. Technology fights terrorism in a body-strewn race
against time.
Drawing on neuroscience and nanotechnology, grad students
Roger Fixman and Tess Myers develop the software and
machinery to take pictures of a person's memory. Unwittingly,
these earnest researchers provide the US government — and
its enemies — with a new and deadly form of interrogation.
The Aremac Roger and Tess develop is just what FBI agents
Don Capitol and Lucinda Duke need as they attempt to identify
and pursue a terrorist group that is bombing landmarks in
Chicago and attempting to extort millions from the city.
Desperate for clues, Agents Capitol and Duke hire Roger and
Tess to delve into a suspect's mind. But just as their prisoner's
defenses start to crumble, a murderer puts an end to their
progress. The Aremac holds the key to identifying the murderer,
which makes the machine — and its developers, Roger and Tess
— the next terrorist target.

"Gerald Weinberg's THE AREMAC PROJECT is a page-turning science fiction/
technological thriller that successfully combines wish-I-had-that
futuristic technology with today's political and security climate.
Smart characters, ingenious science, and plenty of twists and turns—
this is a book you won't be ready to put down until the last clever move
is played out."
