Dark Site

Praise for Stephen Baker's Books:

The Boost

"Baker has written a true delight of a techno-thriller that has deep, dark roots in the present.... [His] characters are memorable and wickedly fun." --Kirkus Reviews

"His tale is rendered in light, easy, smooth prose which walks the tragicomic tightrope brilliantly and deftly." --Locus Magazine

The Numerati

"Stephen Baker artfully conjures up vivid images to explain what he's talking about and why a reader should care."-- The Christian Science Monitor

"A highly readable and fascinating account of the number-driven world we now live in." --The Wall Street Journal

It's spring of 2043, and fifteen-year-old Alissa Terwilliger is the only student in her Washington, D.C., high school with a Chinese smart chip in her head.

It's a dangerous time. Alissa's boyfriend Nate is picked up by a drone and imprisoned in a Dark Site-a private prison where people are held indefinitely. She knows her grandfather could help. He's a software titan and one of the richest people on earth. But he might be part of the problem.

Navigating a new world of AI and brain surveillance, Alissa must use her own networked chip to hunt down answers. This carries her on a risky mission into Washington's highest echelons of power.

Dark Site is a novel of espionage and suspense. It previews the wild adventures we face as our minds meld with machines.
