  In a near-future world divided by social status and technological advancement, Dex, a street-smart young man, stumbles into a high-stakes security job at Cambridge University. Meanwhile, Haruki, a privileged woman, grapples with an unexpected pregnancy and her rebellious daughter Yoshiko seeks refuge in an off-shore colony. As their lives intertwine, they uncover a conspiracy that could reshape their world. 
  Reviews: 
  "This book surprised me in the best way. I wasn’t expecting such a gripping blend of suspense and character development. The pacing is relentless, pulling you deeper into the web of secrets, and the twists are genuinely unexpected. 
  What I really loved was how the characters grew..just when you think you’ve figured them out, they reveal more complex layers. The blurred lines between truth and deception made it hard to know who to trust, adding a great sense of tension throughout. If you enjoy fast-paced thrillers with depth, this one won’t disappoint!" - Dana 
  "Ambition and strategy underlie everything in this book, in a complex web of authority and technology. The characters work their way through an aspiration against an overwhelming opposition, making this a captivating read. I also felt that early in the story, the dialogue between characters plotting a secret rebellion created tension in showing depth to the revelation of awareness of their failures in times past. The cautious attitude in gaining allies sent me thinking about the risks of challenging authority." -KC

  Though he can't speak to humans, this 8-year-old autistic boy appears to have an uncanny ability to communicate with chimpanzees. 
  ★★★★★ "Like No Other Boy finds true beauty in the moving love of fathers for sons in this emotional tale of a single father fighting for the happiness of his autistic child." - Publishers Weekly 
  Chris Crutcher has lost nearly everything. His divorce - the "uncivil war" as he calls it - started the downward spiral two years ago, and although he has remained strong, life threatens to take the only thing that truly matters to him. As his job opportunities dwindle, his ex-wife leaves him with nothing but a stack of child support bills and a lawsuit for full custody. 
  If Chris wins the battle, he gets to keep the only person in the world who matters to him: his 8-year old autistic son, Tommy, who finds happiness only in his love for the chimps at a local primatology research center in sunny San Diego. 
  If Chris loses the battle, his ex-wife will tear their son away and transplant him in Houston, far from his father and the chimpanzees he has learned to love. 
  With beautifully insightful narration Like No Other Boy equal parts tortured and heart-warming, showing the full spectrum of the fatherhood experience: successes, failures, dreams, and fears. By weaving in scientific concepts about communication barriers, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and humans' connections to animals, author Larry Center creates an optimistic story filled with hope.
