Glass Houses Authored By Madeline Ashby

In The Secret Island, acclaimed futurist and author Madeline Ashby crafts a thrilling near-future whodunit set on a remote tropical island. The story begins with a group of employees and their eccentric CEO, Sumter, celebrating the successful sale of their groundbreaking emotion-mapping AI algorithm. However, their joyous occasion takes a dark turn when their plane crashes onto an isolated island.

Survivors find themselves in a luxurious private palace equipped with the latest technology, but with one crucial drawback: it is completely cut off from the outside world. The opulent setting conceals a web of secrets and a sinister history that soon threatens their safety and sanity.

Kristen, the company's "chief emotional manager" and one of the key figures in the tech industry, is tasked with maintaining her colleagues' emotional stability amidst the chaos. Her role, created by the eccentric billionaire Sumter, requires her to be exceptionally adept at problem-solving and quick thinking. As the group grapples with their dire situation, Kristen must leverage her expertise and intuition to navigate not only the dangers of the island but also the growing sense of paranoia and distrust among the survivors.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the island's seemingly perfect facade hides a much darker truth. With the stakes escalating, Kristen's ability to manage emotions and solve complex problems will be put to the ultimate test.

The Secret Island is a decadent, suspenseful adventure reminiscent of Severance, The White Lotus, and Black Mirror, blending high-tech intrigue with psychological suspense in a high-stakes survival scenario. 📚❤️
