Posted: 12 Jul 2024, 17:10
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Forecasting Error" by Michael Grigsby.]
Sebastian collaborates with Ben Ali on a plan involving a chemical attack on their target. Liz, who is part of Sebastian's team, struggles with the realization that their organization may be involved in illegal activities while developing a tool to predict the economic fallout from chemical attacks. Sebastian supervises the AE simulation, forecasting the impact of such an attack, and forms an alliance with Juan Valdez and Ben Ali, driven by financial gain. Meanwhile, Liz steals GAC's Analytic Engine, fearing the dangers it may have, and travels to Houston to meet with Aunt Wanda. They connect and talk about Liz's shocking revelations. Sebastian is confronted with threats and demands from Ben Ali and Juan Valdez that, if not met, could prove fatal. He must get back the Analytic Engine from Liz in order to avoid serious consequences.
Forecasting Error by Michael Grigsby draws readers into Sebastian and Liz's linked lives, combining corporate intrigue with personal observations. Grigsby smoothly combines a story in which cutting-edge technology generates not only profit but also potential devastation and personal feuds. Sebastian's desire for power conflicts with Liz's brave defiance, propelling the plot forward with suspense and drama.
My favorite character in the book is Alex. Sometimes fathers make a lot of sacrifices without their children knowing. Fathers may seem physically distant, but they are out there, ensuring their children are safe and well taken care of. When I read Alex's reason for leaving Liz, I was deeply moved.
I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars because of Jimmy. He sacrificed a great deal to assist Liz, even risking his life. It reminded me that even in moments of isolation, there are still people with a strong conscience. I recommend the book to technology enthusiasts.
I found nothing to dislike about the book. Technological advancements should be used for the greater good, not for destruction and causing havoc. I was particularly impressed with Liz's concern about the potential misuse of the Analytic Engine. Her decision to steal it shows the importance of sound decision-making and taking action against perceived wrongdoings. Additionally, I admired the way Liz handled Tony Barbarossa's disrespect with grace and strategic acumen.
