The Speed of Sound | Eric Bernt
4 posts | 3 read | 13 to read
In this propulsive thriller, one of the most ingenious young men in the world has also become the most dangerous...or has he? Harmony House is more than a "special place for special people." It's a think tank where high-functioning autistic savants harness their unique abilities for the benefit of society. Resident Eddie Parks's contribution is nothing less than extraordinary: an "echo box" that can re-create never-recorded sounds using acoustic archeology. All Eddie wants is to hear his late mother's voice. But what he's created is inadvertently posing a threat to national security. To Harmony House's shadowy government backers and radical extremists, the echo box is the ultimate intelligence asset--an end to the very concept of secrecy. Now for Eddie and the compassionate Dr. Skylar Drummond, the true nature of the institution is becoming chillingly clear. As ruthless competing enemies close in on Eddie and his miraculous machine, Skylar risks all to take him on the run. Because once that prize is won, Eddie Parks will no longer be considered a "special person" but a dangerous redundancy. An inconvenient echo that must be silenced.

#justcantgetenough All of these books were bought by being influenced by The Chase or their nicknames/professions.

I'll be very surprised if you can't find the 4 influenced by Anne! 💗🤣💗🤣

Eddie just wants to hear his mother sing. But she died before he was born. Since he can‘t rely on his memory to fill in the notes, he relies on his intellect to create an “echo box”—a machine that can replay the sounds that have been captured in the walls themselves.

But the government is watching him very closely. If he succeeds, no conversation would ever be truly private and espionage will be as easy as clicking a button.

I forgot to review this one awhile back, so here goes. This was a story about a main character on the autism spectrum who has invented a most unique device to replay past conversations that occurred in rooms. All he wants is to hear his dead mother‘s voice, but others have devious plans for the device. This was a well-written quick read with more complexity than expected.

A little bit of this at the beginning of this book. Nice.
