Drone War : A Cassandra Virus Novel

It's the future. Jordan O'Blenis may be a genius when it comes to computers, but with spies after his sister Cassie's research in unmanned aerial vehicles and artificial intelligence, he needs all the help he can get to keep her safe and save BWB Aerospace's top secret drone project. Luckily for Jordan, he has Helen the frog expert and Cassandra, the sentient supercomputer programme he created, on his side. The problem is, Helen thinks kidnapping and interrogating a government agent is a perfectly logical solution to their problems, while Cassandra has developed a bad case of ethics. When old enemies snatch Jordan, though, it's up to Cassandra to save the day, even if that means hijacking BWB's multi-million dollar UAV system. It's just borrowing, really .... Engines roaring, rising in pitch. Louder and louder. Jordan felt as though he were part of the plane. He leaned forward. It wasn't just a plane, it was Cassie's work, a little bit of it. It was ... big. A work of art. It was taxiing. Hard to remember no-one was driving ? flying. No-one was in it at all, just a big machine doing its thing, and some technicians in that room with the banks of computers, who couldn't even see the plane take off. Turning. Sitting, gaining power, then leaping forward, faster and faster. Nose rising. It was in the air, roaring across the field in front of them, out over the lake?
