ABOUT THE AUTHOR
E.J. Simon was born in New York City and grew up in Queens. His parents were both from Greece, his father became a successful furrier on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue in the 1950’s when mink coats were fashionable.
His mother grew up in Durham, North Carolina and his annual travels back to Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina to visit his mother’s family led to his love of the South.
As a young boy, his passions were reading, history and baseball, not necessarily in that order.
He graduated with a BA in Journalism (before switching majors from History to English to Political Science and maybe others) from the University of South Carolina. He remembers spending more time reading what he wanted, working in a local restaurant and playing baseball more than he can recall being in class. He later earned an MA in Communications from Fairfield University where the Jesuits were stricter about attendance. He has also attended the University of North Carolina and the Graduate School of the New School for Social Research in New York.
After many years in corporate leadership positions, including CEO roles in two major companies, he followed his passion and began to write. His first novel, Death Never Sleeps, was a Kindle best-seller. He has continued to author books in the series, now including Death Logs In, Death Logs Out. and Death in the Cloud. The fifth novel in the series, Death in the Kremlin, will be released shortly.
After spending most of his life in New York City and Westport, Connecticut, Simon and his wife, Andrea, have moved to Durham, North Carolina and are savoring southern living, the theatre, music, cooking, dining out and building their photography collection. He still is an avid New York Yankees fan but also now follows the Durham Bulls.
ABOUT THE SERIES
Adventure! Excitement! Danger! Intrigue!
As Michael Nicholas is drawn further into Alex’s world and Alex continues to pull strings from cyberspace, you’ll keep turning pages to find out what happens next:
Michael and Alex’s AI travel to Paris, Rome, and Florence in pursuit of Alex’s killer. But as they close in, Michael discovers that he too is being hunted—by the highest officials in the Vatican, determined to protect their monopoly on the afterlife.
A missing airliner suddenly appears in restricted air space, now piloted by a terrorist and headed straight for the White House. Only Alex’s AI can take control of the wayward plane and prevent disaster.
A neo Nazi group seeks to create a global catastrophe and chaos by hijacking Alex Nicholas’s software and using its power to infiltrate the US nuclear missile codes, initiating a nuclear attack on Moscow. Alex’s AI is the only thing that can foil their plan, but will Alex risk his virtual existence to stop the attack?
From the streets of New York City to the holy roads of Rome, the glitz of Saint Tropez, the beauty of Paris, the murky canals of Venice, the frigid danger of Moscow, and the sunny beaches of North Carolina, Michael Nicholas is forced to fight the powers that have murdered his brother, and, seeking the source codes to Alex’s virtual existence, threaten his own survival.
Filled with unforgettable characters and laced with humor (and great food), these entertaining and topical novels touch on topics relevant to us all: family, loyalty, technology, religion, corporate greed, criminal conspiracies, and most importantly in our increasingly AI-obsessed culture, a revealing glimpse at the role computers play in our lives—and may play after our deaths.
