Professional surf photographer Shawn Pérez, on assignment for Deep Surf Apparel to a remote Pacific island, encounters an isolated tribe. When he naturally snaps a photo of their spiritual leader, their reaction is life-threatening and gives Shawn something to think about after his guide tells him, "Shawn, they think your pictures steal men's souls." Years later, Dr. Sally Evans, Shawn's ex-girlfriend and a research scientist at Photon Corporation, develops the Sentient camera for the Defense Intelligence Agency for purposes of positively identifying terrorists from high above with drone aircraft. Dr. Evans lends Shawn one of the Sentient prototypes hoping he can refine the technology from a photographer's perspective. Major Thomas Craig, a U.S. government operator or assassin, is assigned to work beside Dr. Evans to develop the Sentient. Craig knows the whereabouts of the world's most dangerous terrorists and must use the Sentient's full potential to avoid a horrific terrorist strike....… (más)

Love the concept of this book, but the execution is a little questionable. Well, no. I suppose it really isn't the execution that's questionable, but the editing. I felt like I was reading a first or maybe second draft of someone's story. There were words missing everywhere, duplicated phrases (like when you forget what you're typing and type it again right next to the first one), and missing punctuation just to name a few issues. It was really frustrating and, at times, distracted from the overall story. There is a little part of me that wants to mark it up (in red, of course) like I used to do with the students I tutored and send it back to the publisher with a note saying that I've read first drafts of high school and college essays with better grammar.

That aside, I did love this story. It was a little out there, and took a little piecing together because it jumped around between a few parts of the story line, seemingly without notice, but it was definitely enjoyable. I would almost go so far as to say that I loved it. The characters were really easy to get attached to, not to mention were really relate-able. Everyone knows an air headed jock like Drake or a guy who isn't very science-y, but doesn't mind benefiting from it and maybe is even a little mesmerized by it. Additionally, who doesn't know an adorable dog, like Frisco, who is probably smarter and more in tune with people than most people you know?

This really was a great story; I just wish someone had done a better job editing it before it was published. ( )
