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.

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

The readers who are looking at the back cover are not as use to the words Quantum Contingent as you are so saying it again is better.

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.
