About the Book

At the center of FRANTIC by Brent Bradley is a Texas AI bill pushed forward with unusual speed, drawing attention to the forces operating behind it—and the dangers faced by those who try to uncover the truth.

After a prisoner delivers a prediction that comes true, Dr. Brian Heiser seeks out forensic psychologist Dr. Fred Gonzalez for answers. Alongside Patricia Reigns, a skilled AI developer with deep ties to the tech world, they uncover a covert push behind a Texas AI bill fueled by billionaire interests. Their search places them directly in the path of assassins, corruption, and the expanding threat of AI manipulation. Each discovery raises the stakes and pushes them toward an explosive final confrontation.

My Review

When the book first started, I was a little confused by all the characters, but I quickly was able to pick up on who was who and then it was easy to follow. This book felt like a roller coaster ride! I didn’t know what to expect, when it was going to go up and when it was going to go down. What I thought at first was two different storylines ended up being one storyline, and I loved it! We follow Brian, Fred, and Patricia as they put together pieces of the puzzle and they did so very well. Not one felt like they were a know it all; they each had their strengths and went to others to help out as well.

At the crux of this story is AI. And the reality of it within this book is very scary. Honestly, I can see this happening. There comes a point when people can’t figure out what is AI and what is not AI. I struggle now with that with some of the videos I see. It’s hard to believe anything anymore. In this book, the AI can pretend to be someone else, text, and make phone calls and video calls.

There is so much action in this book, it’s makes it hard to stop reading and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. It also makes the book a quick read, and highly enjoyable! It’s on Kindle Unlimited, so check this one out!
