""The Tin Men" is a fitting tribute to Nelson DeMille's rich career, which was filled with gripping bestsellers that captivated even those readers not always drawn to thrillers. "The Tin Men" moves briskly and is seamlessly punctuated by believable characters and elaborate-but-realistic military craft, while showing how artificial intelligence can be useful or manipulated to be diabolical. The intelligent, unrelenting team of Scott and Maggie often are called to take on the tough assignments."
"The two arrive in the Mojave Desert to investigate the malfunction of D-17s - killer robots called "tin men." During military testing, "tin men" killed an Army computer scientist. The robots' speed and capabilities outmatch those of the human soldiers, putting an Army ranger regiment in danger. Scott and Maggie need to find out who is manipulating the robots' software."
"The authors keep the action on full speed as Scott and Maggie go through numerous physical and emotional trials. The DeMilles are careful to keep the story believable - the duo knows how to make smart, quick decisions. "The Tin Men" is an apt legacy for the late Nelson DeMille and a new path for Alex DeMille."
The Tin Men blends rip-roaring military action with believable characters and realistic military craft while exploring how artificial intelligence can be useful or manipulated to harmful ends. Nelson DeMille died on Sept. 17, 2024, at age 81, and his son Alex completed the manuscript they had been co-writing, recounting how he finalized the third entry in the Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor series. Scott and Maggie, Army criminal investigators, travel to the Mojave Desert to probe D-17 malfunctions after the killer robots known as "tin men" kill an Army computer scientist during testing. The robots' superior speed and capabilities endanger an Army ranger regiment, prompting the investigators to uncover who is manipulating the robots' software amid numerous physical and emotional trials. The Tin Men functions as both a tribute to Nelson DeMille's career and a new path forward for Alex DeMille.
