BISAC: Science Fiction – Action & Adventure
Mike Nichols just wants his career-making presentation to go well. Instead, he’s about to invent something the whole world wants to steal.
Mike, an underdog engineer at an eccentric billionaire’s private research center, builds a device no one thought possible: a portable force field, small enough to wear as a backpack, powerful enough to stop a bullet cold. It’s meant to protect astronauts in deep space. Within days, it’s putting a target on his back instead.
Chinese intelligence has a mole embedded at the Center. Russian operatives are running a safe house out of a petrochemical plant across town. And everyone — spies, generals, and the U.S. government alike — wants Mike’s notes, his battery-boosted invention, or Mike himself, whichever comes easiest.
As his closest collaborator is drugged, kidnapped, and used as leverage, Mike is forced out from behind his desk and into a race against double agents, triple agents, and a government ready to seize his life’s work the moment it becomes useful. Bullets bounce. Buildings burn. And Mike learns fast that surviving the invention is a lot harder than building it.
The Field is a fast-moving science fiction thriller about ambition, betrayal, and what happens when a brilliant idea becomes bigger than the person who created it.
Who gets to keep the future they built? Find out in The Field.
