Mind in the Clouds - Bruce M. Perrin

A suspenseful whodunit, where not all the suspects are human.

Recently graduated Ruger-Phillips employee, Dr. Sam "Doc" Price, is looking forward to his new project-evaluating training for a team. But it's a team like no other because only one of the team members is human. The other is one of the most intelligent and lethal systems ever built by man - the Joint Aerial Combat Capability (JACC). Loaded with the latest in detection and threat assessment technology, JACC is a silent, deadly military drone. Doc soon discovers, however, that JACC may not be the only killer on the remote, Nevada test range when he finds himself in a cat and mouse game with an unknown adversary. In a fight for his life and the lives of his friends, Doc asks himself, how do you match wits with the mind in the clouds when you're not sure if you are facing the cold, exact logic of machine intelligence or the coldblooded urges of a human murderer?
