Sinopsis

A mystery in modern-day rural Ireland may have roots in World War II, in this thriller by a “fine dramatic writer and storyteller” (Booklist).   The elderly German, Karl Uxkull, was either senile or desperate for attention. Why else would he concoct a tale of Nazi atrocity on the remote island of Delphi, off the coast of Donegal? And why now, sixty years after the event, just when Irish-American billionaire Shay Govern has tendered for a gold prospecting license in Lough Swilly?   Journalist Tom Noone doesn’t want to know. With his young daughter Emily to provide for, and a new ghostwriting commission for Shay Govern’s biography, the timing is all wrong. Besides, can it be mere coincidence that Karl Uxkull’s tale bears an uncanny resemblance to a thriller written by spy novelist Sebastian Devereaux, the reclusive English author who has spent the past fifty years holed up on Delphi?   But when a body is discovered drowned, Tom and Emily find themselves running for their lives in pursuit of the truth that is their only hope of survival.   “Burke has a real knack for dialogue and phrasing.” —Publishers Weekly   “Readers . . . will be rewarded with an unholy Chinese box of a thriller. Make that an Irish-German box.” —Kirkus Reviews

    Ultimate Trial The: AI vs Humanity

    As we stand on the precipice of a new era, it’s impossible to ignore the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its ever-growing presence in our daily lives. From the voice assistants in our homes to complex systems predicting our behavior, AI is no longer a concept of the distant future—it’s here, and it’s reshaping our world. 
    The Ultimate Trial: AI vs Humanity was born out of my fascination with this evolving relationship between humans and machines. What began as a casual interest in the ethics of AI quickly spiraled into a deep dive into the moral, philosophical, and legal implications of creating intelligence that could one day rival our own. As technology develops at an unprecedented pace, the line between human and machine begins to blur, raising questions that were once the domain of science fiction. 
    This book is not an attempt to offer definitive answers, because, in truth, none of us can predict exactly how the future will unfold. Instead, I invite you to join me in exploring the complexity of these issues. Through the lens of a global courtroom drama, we will examine the delicate balance between human rights, technological progress, and the moral dilemmas we may soon face. 
    In The Ultimate Trial, you’ll find a story that explores both sides of the debate—humans fighting to preserve their place in the world and AIs struggling for recognition and autonomy. It’s a story about survival, identity, and, ultimately, what it means to be alive. 
    I hope this book sparks your imagination, challenges your perceptions, and leaves you wondering about the future we are collectively shaping.
