Wyman Ford is again in The Kraken Project, the fascinating new novel from New York Times best-selling author Douglas Preston. NASA is building a probe to be splashed down in the Kraken Mare, the most significant sea on Saturn's great moon, Titan. It is one of the very most encouraging habitats for extraterrestrial life in the solar system, however the surface is unstable and dangerous, needing the probe to contain artificial intelligence software. To this end, Melissa Shepherd, a brilliant programmer, has developed "Dorothy", a robust, self-modifying AI whose true probable is both innovative and terrifying. When miscalculations lead to a catastrophe during trials, Dorothy flees into the Internet. Previous CIA agent Wyman Ford is tapped to track down the rogue AI. As Ford and Shepherd search for Dorothy, they recognize that her horrific experience in the wasteland of the Internet have changed her with techniques they can hardly imagine. And they're not the only ones looking for the wayward software: The AI is also being pursued by a pair of Wall Street investors, who wish to get her code and turn her into a high-speed trading bot. Traumatized, upset, and relentlessly hunted, Dorothy has an amazing revelation - and devises an idea. As the quest for Dorothy converges on a deserted house on the seacoast of Northern California, Ford must face the ultimate question: Is rescuing Dorothy the right thing? Is the AI bent on conserving the planet...or on wiping out the cancer tumor that is humankind?
