The Surgeon in the Mirror: An original science fiction medical thriller

by R D D Smith

Overview

Billionaires can afford the best of everything, including medical care. But William Aloma's money can't protect him from a surgical robot that dispenses justice along with the best surgical results.

Dr. Richard Atkins and his team suspect that the newest robot AI, is intentionally injuring patients on the OR table when it judges them to be bad for society - rapists and murderers, but also billionaires and politicians.

Can Atkins prove the AI is acting maliciously? Will the hospital or the manufacturer listen to him if it risks billions in corporate profits? The world's best surgeons and AI programmers struggle to regain control of the operating room before it costs them their jobs, their reputations, and their lives.

Behind the scenes, a secretive hedge fund has stolen a copy of the AI and is forcing it to make billions for them. But their careless handling of this powerful digital being threatens to release it on the world.

If you like House and Grey's Anatomy mixed with Ex Machina and iRobot, you will love The Surgeon in the Mirror.
