Once Hunt Goodwill discovers he has a malignant brain tumor, the biotech tycoon jumps into action to make the most of what could be his last days. He turns to his AI supercomputer, Hillary, which suggests he reconnects with his high school flame Dr. Jackie Cunningham, now a celebrity therapist. He also takes steps to revise his will with his lawyer Peter Carver, who has deep state connections. He makes use of those connections for his final act, as Hunt decides he wants to make a difference and ends up volunteering for a suicide mission for Homeland Security’s operation Three Black Swans to kill a Russian mastermind who is behind attacking global resources using an enhanced virus. Three Black Swans (Barringer Publishing) is a thrilling tale of what could happen in warfare as technology continues advancing.
