    Reader note

    A high-quality, completed novel in a new genre, a hardcore work by a science and engineering enthusiast. It starts slowly but builds to a bang, a slow-burn, mind-bending story with science fiction, realism, suspense, and mind-bending elements. The writing is brilliant and logically rigorous, the narrative humorous yet concise, and there are no time-travel, reincarnation, system, or cheat codes. The content covers history, workplace, military, scientific research, national security, criminal investigation, scheming, murder, as well as high-tech espionage, hacking, and aerospace electronic warfare. The ending features a profound twist. Tailor-made for veteran readers; if you don't enjoy it, I'll kill myself!
