The Sandbox

From the internationally bestselling authors that brought us the Sons of Valor series comes a new sci fi thriller where each clue leads to a new mystery.

Valarie Marks is anxious to prove herself in her new role as a homicide detective after retiring from Army CID. But when she is assigned as the primary investigator on high profile homicide, her enthusiasm quickly turns to dismay.

Dr. Brit Norris, eccentric founder and CEO of Platform Cognition, the world's leading artificial intelligence company, was brutally murdered in his home. With no signs of forced entry, it looks like the victim knew his attacker. However, with the controversy surrounding Dr. Norris's work at Platform Cognition, and the increasingly heated protests from a radical activist group called RAM (Rage Against Machines), Detective Marks is not short on possible suspects-including one of Dr. Norris's very own AI programs.

Described as Silence of the Lambs meets The Matrix, this cerebral thriller will keep you guessing till the final page.

Editorial Reviews

USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author Rhett C. Bruno

[Andrews & Wilson] bring the gritty realism and action of their covert-ops thrillers to the grounded sci-fi world of AI. A nonstop roller coaster of a read!”

Larry Alexander

Reality and virtual reality collide when a murder case evolves into a nightmarish battle that pits a homicide detective, an ex–Green Beret, and a computer genius against ‘Charlie,’ a sinister artificial intelligence program in an epic struggle for nothing less than control of men’s minds. The Sandbox proves beyond doubt that Andrews and Wilson, authors of the bestselling Tier One series, are truly the masters of suspense.”

author of The Last Sword Maker Brian Nelson

Andrews and Wilson have outdone themselves in their genre-bending new novel, The Sandbox. Mixing classic sci-fi themes—think Philip K. Dick and Robert Heinlein—with their unbeatable pacing and military action scenes makes this a nonstop thrill ride. But what really makes this a standout novel is the bad guy. In the sentient AI system named Charlie, Andrews and Wilson have created the most disturbing and frightening antagonist since Arthur C. Clarke’s HAL 9000. A nemesis so powerful that he can plunge his victims into a VR-generated haunted house where they can no longer discern the digital from the real. And the scariest thing of all is that this isn’t science fiction. This is the technology that is at our fingertips today. Highly recommended.”

New York Times bestselling author of Kagen the Dam Jonathan Maberry

Wow! The Sandbox is a real killer of a novel…Devious plot twists, relatable characters, and insights into AI technology that are truly chilling! Highly recommended.”
