![]() I found one of the more difficult things to write for the book is the back cover blurb. I thought I'd share the draft text of the back cover here. Let me know your thoughts. Does it catch your attention in the first sentence? Does it make you want to read the book? I'd love your feedback. Oh, and I now have an ISBN number... one step closer. Till next time, Greg In 2028, a mysterious group known as The Quantum Contingent has achieved true quantum computing capabilities. The Quantum Contingent have their sights set on achieving immortality for a select few that will chart humanity’s destiny. Jack and Sarah, sibling spies, race across the globe at a frenetic pace to stop this nefarious group and their anonymous Founder. Jack and Sarah are part of Quotient, a mysterious, independent, spy agency whose secret advantage is also quantum based. The Quantum Contingent takes place in exotic destinations around the globe and features real technologies, extrapolated for tomorrow, including cryptocurrency, drones, and SpaceX rocket ships. It is a techno-spy thriller for today with pop-culture references and even its own Spotify playlist, featuring a song for each chapter in the book. Greg spent his career in technology. He did a TedX talk on AI and has channeled his technology and global travel experiences into The Quantum Contingent. The cover is based on the church of St. George, one of the monolithic ‘rock churches’ in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Greg is shown here outside of this World Heritage site, which serves as a key location in the novel. See key location photos, technology blogs, and more at: www.simpsong00.com.

Ist sentence too long. Period after capabilities. Then next sentence say The Quantam Contingent instead of they.

Greg, I like it, but I wish I knew a bit more about you. You've done more than a Tedx... share your experience in leading in tech... let the readers get a glimpse of who you are... as a Tech Leader, father, etc.
