5-9-10 Wired Kingdom by Rick Chesler - Fiction

3 - Here's a treat: I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this book which is releasing today (5/25). For a first novel, Wired Kingdom isn't bad. The premise alone was enough to catch my interest and Chesler's research and factual knowledge made it even better. There's a new reality show, "Wired Kingdom," that follows a blue whale through the ocean by means of a waterproof web cam attached to its dorsal fin. People can subscribe to have access to 24/7 real time web feed and the weekly TV show has high prize contests for those viewers each week. Since it is reality TV, the real world does intrude when the whale cam broadcasts a murder at sea in real time. FBI agent Tara Shores is called in to work with Dr. Anastasia Reed, the host and science behind the show, to retrieve the whale cam for examination and evidence. But there are other parties after the whale cam and it becomes a race to see who will retrieve it first. The factual information is great in this book. Overall, I recommend this book to you because this author has great potential and I'm looking forward to his next book.
