They call him Voodoo, a man haunted by his past, a man with a military background who works for a deeply secretive military research organisation and a man, thanks to a voice from his past finds himself once again in the front line using his formidable skills with technology in a race against the clock to prevent what could surely be a global disaster occurring.

When a Scientist and his research assistant go missing, one murdered and the other kidnapped the alarm is raised as a code with the ability to change the Arms Race is also missing. A call from his former Seal Team Leader sees Voodoo back in action, the ghosts of his past all to present, the future far too unpredictable, his phenomenal skill base stretched to its absolute limit.

Racing against time to rescue the kidnapped scientist the Team begin to realise that the level of A.I. development along with the sophisticated and deadly Japanese underworld is far greater than they expected, far more dangerous and their reach far more widespread. It is not a case of can they success, but will they succeed in recovering the ‘God Algorithm’ which if it is ever used will have devastating repercussions.

Fast paced, terrifying in its reality and absolutely enthralling The Hawk Enigma is wrapped skilfully around technological crime and the rapidly developing world of A.I. While military and scientific terminology is used it is done in such a manner as to be easily relatable for anyone without either a scientific or military background.

Using his previous life skills JL Hancock has tapped into the world of Artificial Intelligence and the all to probable applications to which this this science could  be utilised  to deliver what is an absolutely riveting thriller based very firmly in the world of modern technology.
