In 2112, dystopia is upon us, and the United Nations Authority is trying to stop energy and technology behemoth GIATCOM from destroying society once and for all. At the vortex of this futuristic struggle is twenty-first-century inventor Dr. Ben Richards, who created a way to harness wind power, a clean and renewable energy that could have changed the course of humanity if he hadn't died under mysterious circumstances. The UNA determines that keeping Richards alive in 2017 is key to saving the world from becoming a nuclear wasteland. Meanwhile, GIATCOM is using every method at its disposal, including enhanced humans and android doppelgangers, to thwart that effort and capture Richards for its own purposes, setting up an epic battle between future powers in the past. 'Who will be victorious? Man or Machine?'

Industry Reviews

"In Mark Dowson's second in a series, ReCognition - Co-anda 19 Vaccine, Mark pens a story ripped from future headlines. Mark's storytelling serves as a form of stealth education concerning earth sciences - environmentalism, & climate change, where one is entertained, informed, and motivated for change. His story is not only fictional, but factual through his own research, personal experience and observations of the world. He educates his audience as a polymath on subjects from; history, arthistory, science, geography, economics, politics, and psychology." -DENNIS WOODS, author of Black Flag Journals, One Soldier's Experience in America's Longest War.


"Really impressive debut novel from Mark Dowson and I look forward to Part 2. It's well researched (very topical) and well paced/plotted. I would put it in the same genre and league as Michael Crichton, Iain M Banks, Dan Brown et al. While reading it I couldn't help but feel it would work extremely well in a more visual format - I think it would make a superb TV series. Here's hoping Prime or Netflix pick it up." -ELIN - Goodreads reviewer. www.goodreads.com


"What happens when Science Fiction meets science, art, philosophy, and architecture? Well, naturally, you get a compelling story! Dowson has outdone himself in this second book of the Recognition series. The action ramps up while still delivering insight all designed to help us of this time to avoid mistakes which will make the future wholly unlivable. Thought provoking and inspiring!" -JIM ARROWOOD, Sci Fi Blogger, jimsscii.blogspot.com 


"If you like crime, mystery and romance all wrapped up in a sci-fi thriller, this is for you. Mark has also introduced today's global concerns as a crucial theme, and if that isn't enough, he's cleverly focused on mental health too. You'll need to concentrate, but that's its magic. This, the middle of Mark's trilogy sets things up nicely for the third book final©. Once again it's a fast-paced read full of thought provoking science based drama with just a touch of sci-fi to embellish the storyline. It's up to date making use of the Coronavirus and yet still manages to draw the reader into the future and the past. You need to concentrate - but it's worth it." -GRAHAM MILLER Public Relations Executive at Media-Vu, Media Consultant, Broadcaster at BBC News, Public Relations Advisor, Media trainer

Building on the enigmatic characters of the launch volume of ReCO2gnition the author maintains his pursuit of exploring big contemporary challenges to the human condition against the intriguing backdrop of futuristic science fiction. This time it is the pandemic. Another intriguing and enjoyable read." -DR. VOLKER BUTTGEREIT, CDir, PhD, DIC, M.Eng, ACGI, Managing Director, FD Global Limited, 'Designing Large Scale Building-integrated Wind Turbines for the World Trade centre in Bahrain.'

Mark Dowson with his expertise on wind energy has created a Sci-Fi Thriller, no one else can! An incredible read that truly makes you think about our world." -ANNA MARIE PELOSO, Internationally acclaimed Narrator of audiobooks, New Jersey, USA.
