The Virtual Monk

0/5 ( ratings)

Melrose, a former investigative newspaper reporter, is spending the autumn of his life teaching English to college freshmen, visiting his grandchildren, and occasionally bedding Marcia Judd, the English Department chairwoman. When his friend Liam leaves some terse text messages and then disappears, Melrose decides to go find him. Accompanied by Marcia, his former SEAL brother Frank, and a mysterious boy genius named Bernard, Prof. Gregg follows the leads where they take him. Along the way he susses out the meaning of a cryptic allegorical riddle his missing pal has left behind, the key to which appears to lie somewhere in the pages of an 18th century Gothic novel. The riddle concerns one of the world's largest supercomputers and the plans of a Denver billionaire to use the computer to create artificial intelligence. Prof. Gregg just wants to find Liam, but ends up in mortal danger as gunfire erupts all around him and threatens to wipe out his family.
