Fenton Treeby Is Missing Kindle Edition

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

Sometimes in facing your fears, you discover a truth you wouldn't believe.

An entire town has vanished. And so has the world's greatest scientific mind, Fenton Treeby. The Internal Security Bureau wants answers and fast. ISB Agent Steve Boardman, is assigned to the case, but it's his first week back on the job after recovering from severe work-related PTSD. To make matters worse, his assigned partner, Lynna, is as busy trying to prove he's crazy as she is looking for a way to pin the disappearance on the Pan-Asians.

Boardman has a different theory. One that might be just enough to confirm Lynna’s idea that he’s cracked up. Can he prove her wrong and keep himself together long enough to discover what really happened to Fenton Treeby and the town?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

David M. Kelly writes fast-paced, near-future sci-fi thrillers with engaging characters, cynical humor, and (mostly!) plausible science. He is the author of the Joe Ballen series (Mathematics of Eternity, Perimeter, Transformation Protocol, and Intersection), the Logan’s World series (Kwelengsen Storm, Kwelengsen Dawn, Kwelengsen Swarm), and the Hyperia Jones sci-fi humor series (Hyperia Jones & the Olive Branch Caper).

David’s interest in science and technology began early. At the age of six his parents allowed him to stay up late into the night to watch the television broadcast of Neil Armstrong stepping on to the surface of the moon. From that day he was hooked on everything related to science and space.

An avid reader, he worked his way through the contents of the mobile library that visited his street, progressing through YA titles (or ‘juveniles’ as they were known back then) on to the classics of Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Harry Harrison.

David worked for many years in project management and software development. Along the way his interests have included IPSC combat (target) pistol shooting, crew chief on a drag racing team, and several years as bass player/vocalist in a heavy rock band. He also managed to fit in some real work in manual jobs from digging ditches and work on production lines to loading trucks in a haulage company.

Originally from the wild and woolly region of Yorkshire, England, David emigrated to Canada in 2005 and settled in Northern Ontario with his patient and supportive wife, Hilary. Foot surgery in 2014 temporarily curtailed many of his favourite activities – hiking, camping, piloting his own personal starfighter (otherwise known as a Corvette ZR-1). But on the plus side, it meant a transition from the world of IT into life as a full-time writer—an opportunity he grasped enthusiastically.

David is passionate about science, especially astronomy and physics, and is a rabid science news follower. Never short of an opinion, David writes about science and technology on his blog davidmkelly.net. He has supported various charity projects such as the Smithsonian’s Reboot The Suit and the Lowell Observatory Pluto Telescope Restoration. He also contributes to citizen science projects such as SETI@home.

    I always forget how I get drawn into this author's books. Even though they are sci-fi you can easily relate to his characters and in this case it's a fast wild ride. Back from leave he finds himself in the middle of something that could lead to war. Paranoia, suspicion, narrow minded co-workers what else could possibly go wrong? How about a bat sh$t crazy scientist that fits the definition of mad scientist. It's a race against everything he works and stands for and with his past held up for all to use against him, it wont be easy. That's what this author does well. I just want to get a few minutes alone with his partner so I can do what he only dreams of and throat punch her. Absolutely loved it as I have most of this authors books. While I'm not a big fan of sci-fi I always seem to enjoy his books and since he's done with my favorite Joe Balen I'm glad he has other characters out there I can enjoy.

    David M. Kelly has written quite a few short sci-fi stories and all of them have resonated with me as a fan of classic shorts. This one is not different. Our narrator has a job, but other than keeping an eye on the titular Treeby, we're not entirely sure what that job is, but it is clearly stressful and important. Especially since, as the title again tells us, Treeby has gone missing, which may or may not be the catalyst for an epic war of world ending proportion.

    What I enjoyed most was the duality between our narrator's behavior and coping mechanisms for past trauma and the larger issue as it pertains to the missing scientist. There really is a lot wrapped up in a few pages. Highly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spannend
    Reviewed in Germany on February 17, 2018
    Die Geschichte ist durchweg spannend und gut geschrieben. Ich bin gespannt auf weitere Werke dieses vielversprechenden Autors.

    Ein bedeutender Wissenschaftler ist verschwunden und mit ihm eine ganze Stadt. Der Agent Steve Boardman, aus dessen Sicht die Geschichte erzählt ist, hat gerade wieder begonnen zu arbeiten, nachdem er wegen posttraumatischem Stress behandelt wurde. Ihm wurde eine Partnerin an die Seite gestellt, die ihn für verrückt hält. Die Ereignisse um die verschwundene Stadt führen dazu, dass der dritte Weltkrieg droht. Kann Steve Boardman seine Theorie beweisen und den Weltkrieg verhindern?
