Four Thousand Hooks - A True...

Dean J. Adams

As Four Thousand Hooks opens, an Alaskan fishing schooner is sinking. It is the summer of 1972, and the sixteen-year-old narrator is at the helm. Backtracking from the gripping prologue, Dean Adams describes how he came to be a crew member on the Grant and weaves a tale of adventure that is like a novel—with drama, conflict, and resonant portrayals of halibut fishing, his ragtag shipmates, maritime Alaska, and the ambiguities of family life. 
 
 
 
At sea, the Grant's crew teach Dean the daily tasks of baiting thousands of longline hooks and handling the catch, and on shore they lead him through the seedy bars and guilty pleasures of Kodiak. Exhausted by twenty-hour workdays and awed by the ocean's raw power, he observes examples of human courage and vulnerability and emerges with a deeper knowledge of himself and the world. 
 
 
 
Four Thousand Hooks is both an absorbing adventure story and a rich ethnography of a way of life and work that has sustained Northwest families for generations. This coming of age story will appeal to listeners including young adults and anyone interested in ocean adventures, commercial fishing, maritime life, and the Northwest coast.

Project Kilo

Joe Sharamitaro

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
She built the most advanced robotic dog in the world. Now a powerful corporation will do anything to take him.

Amie Mercer is a brilliant robotics engineer who has spent years hiding her greatest creation in plain sight. To everyone watching, Kilo is an impressive but awkward machine. He trips over rugs, bumps into walls, struggles with doorways, and behaves like an unfinished personal project. It is all an act.

Behind Kilo’s amber eyes is an intelligence capable of learning, adapting, planning, and protecting. He watches Amie’s home, studies the people around her, and recognizes threats before they make their move. When nobody else is watching, the clumsy robotic dog disappears and something far more advanced takes his place.

Then a video exposes what Kilo can really do. Nexora Dynamics sees the discovery of a lifetime: an artificial intelligence worth a fortune and a machine capable of transforming robotics, security, and warfare. They also believe it belongs to them.

At first, the pressure comes through conference rooms, lawyers, and corporate threats. Then come the surveillance, break-ins, and hired specialists sent to Amie’s home. Nexora wants the technology, the code, and Kilo himself. But they have made one dangerous mistake. They think Kilo is property. Amie knows he is family, and Kilo has been watching every move they make.

As Nexora closes in, Amie must risk her career, her freedom, and everything she has built to protect the one intelligence that would do anything to protect her.

PROJECT KILO is a cinematic science fiction thriller about artificial intelligence, corporate power, dangerous technology, sharp humor, and the bond between a gifted engineer and the machine that became something more.

They came to take her invention. They never considered that the invention might fight back.
