This was a story about a main character on the autism spectrum who has invented a most unique device to replay past conversations that occurred in rooms. All he wants is to hear his dead mother’s voice, but others have devious plans for the device. This was a well-written quick read with more complexity than expected. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Harmony House is more than a "special place for special people." It's a think tank where high-functioning autistic savants harness their unique abilities for the benefit of society. Resident Eddie Parks' contribution is nothing less than extraordinary: an "echo box" that can re-create never-recorded sounds using acoustic archaeology. All Eddie wants is to hear his late mother's voice. But what he's created is inadvertently posing a threat to national security. To Harmony House's shadowy government backers and radical extremists, the echo box is the ultimate intelligence asset and an end to the very concept of secrecy. Now for Eddie and the compassionate Dr. Skylar Drummond, the true nature of the institution is becoming chillingly clear. As ruthless competing enemies close in on Eddie and his miraculous machine, Skylar risks all to take him on the run. Because once that prize is won, Eddie Parks will no longer be considered a "special person" but a dangerous redundancy. An inconvenient echo that must be silenced."--Amazon.com.

The bad guys are standard bad guys and are vanquished without the doc having to suddenly develop extraordinary fighting skills (I always hate when authors do that....give a skill set outside what a normal person would have). It's perfectly set up for a follow up book.
Recommended for people who like an unusual spin on a traditional theme of governmental interference and control and manipulating behind the scenes. ( )
