Dark Matter
'If you are watching this videotape then I am dead ...' Yesterday, David Tennant was a highly respected Ethicist with the ear of the President, working on a top secret Government project. Yesterday, he was a man recovering from personal tragedy, just learning to live again. Yesterday, he was falling in love. Today, he is running for his life. Project Trinity has the power to change life forever. Only a few, handpicked men and women know the potential of the biggest artificial intelligence study the world has ever seen. Now, one of those men is dead - and Tennant knows Dr Fielding's death wasn't all it seemed. Suddenly his friend's warnings cannot be dismissed as paranoia. They are the only reason that Tennant is still alive. Today, David Tennant is one man against the state, and he's fast learning the only rule of survival: Trust no-one. Not even yourself.
Greg Iles
Greg Iles was born in Germany in 1960, where his father ran the US Embassy Medical Clinic during the height of the Cold War. His mother was raised on a subsistence farm in Louisiana and began picking cotton at the age of three. Iles spent his youth in Natchez, Mississippi, and graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1983. While attending Ole Miss, Greg lived in the cabin where William Faulkner and his brothers listened to countless stories told by “Mammy Callie,” their beloved nanny, who had been born enslaved.
Iles wrote his first novel in 1993, a thriller about Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess, which became the first of seventeen New York Times bestsellers. Primarily set in the Deep South, his later novels have been made into films, translated into more than twenty languages, and published in more than thirty-five countries worldwide. His new novel will continue the story of Penn Cage, after the epic trilogy that ended with New York Times #1 bestseller Mississippi Blood.
Iles is a member of the legendary lit-rock group “The Rock Bottom Remainders.” Like bandmate Stephen King, Greg returned to the musical stage after recovering from his injuries, and joined the band for their "final" two shows in Los Angeles in 2012. A nonfiction memoir by the band, titled Hard Listening, was published in 2018, but by then the band had begun playing shows again. In 2020 they released a social-distancing video produced by Greg and his son Mark, called "DON'T Stand By Me!" They just don't know when to quit.
Iles passed away from a 29-year battle with Mulitple Myeloma on August 15, 2025. He lived in Natchez, Mississippi with his wife Caroline and had four children.
