"A series of messages are sent from an unknown source and leaders in government, religion and technology attempt to decipher the messages while trying covertly to use the messages to their advantage. John Tennyson, President of the United States is concerned about national security yet for Sunshine Borden, the world-class programmer, it represents a technological puzzle to be solved. In the midst of this confusion, a killer stalks victims and forces Sunshine to leave his laboratory to track him down. On December 17th, 2032 at precisely 9:27 AM, every monitor across the world carried the same brief message: “I Am, Aaa ome”. The message was exactly nine tenths of a second in duration, the transmission did not disrupt the programs running on the monitors in any way and, despite the efforts of intelligence services across the planet, the message was untraceable. Governments attempted to communicate with the source of the transmission and the major religions saw it as either the voice of God or an announcement of the End Times. For most of the rest of the planet, people were unsure of what it was and just continued with their lives." From review by Ed Bennett for Indie Reader.
