Niantic Labs

About this ebook

When she first agreed to lead the research team of the Niantic Project, Dr. Devra Bogdanovich knew she was headed into the unknown. What she never could have imagined is where her dangerous, and potentially world-changing, exploration of Exotic Matter would lead her.

After the chaos of the evening known as Epiphany Night explodes into murder and betrayal, the NIA seeks other ways to continue the ongoing research while Devra finds herself on the run and ensnared in a game of cat and mouse with the most powerful thinking machine ever created, a detection algorithm known as ADA. As ADA follows her digital trail, Devra is also pursued by both a relentless assassin and a rogue NIA agent.

Now determined to restart her quest for understanding this transdimensional building block known as Exotic Matter, Devra recruits a team of her own to stop Niantic and uncover the ultimate truth of XM. Is it the key to unlocking an enlightened future? Or is it a tool for the ultimate enslavement of mankind?

Ratings and reviews

Loved the story however the writing quality was a bit lacking. It felt as if there were little to no editing done on the finished project. Simple things like no antecedents before used acronyms and assuming readers knew more than they might depending on their life experience. A good addition for someone who is at least a little versed in Ingress lore. Definitely enjoyed it and am looking forward to delving deeper into Ingress lore.

One of the most intriguing books I've ever read. The only time I was able to put this book down was when I picked up my scanner and went out to live the story myself. An absolute must read for all Ingress Agents, and an excellent introduction to anyone that has yet to hear of the Niantic Project or Ingress. This is an amazing story that was almost untold, and a story that has been unfolding right under our noses for months. It is all I can do to patiently wait for Felicia Hajra-Lee's next writing.

This is a must-read, must devour & spend countless hours teasing out all details, for any Ingress player or Niantian following the world that is Niantic/Ingress. I've been following Dr. Bogdanovich & ADA as their stories have developed via the Niantic Investigation Board, their threads weaving into a much bigger universe. You do not see many strong, smart women in science or set as much more than the whimpering, helpless female. Neither Devra nor ADA are whimpering or helpless as we get to see how they are evolving & changing to meet the challenges. You do not need to know a lot of backstory to enjoy the novel although those following Niantic and/or Ingress will appreciate how this story connects a lot of pieces and other parts of the Niantic Universe. One down side, the novel ends with Devra & ADA in a place very far from where they started & the hint of of both facing something ominous that is coming (hope a sequel is coming). I have to give a shoutout hello to Hubert Farlowe, a pivotal character & one I've been following on g+, his journey is also one to watch. I am now a Niantian for life Good luck Devra, ADA & Hubert, we're breathlessly await the next steps you take.
