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.

Loved the style. Very engaging. The end was a little abrupt though - I know it is important to make way for the next book in the series, but wish each book had a more conclusive ending.

Which is the only reason I finished this book. It took me several months. It was just hard to stay engaged. I do appreciate an extra angle to the game, because I follow the story on YouTube or the website.
