Sixteen-year old Henry “Sandy” Alessandro Kane invents a world-changing new technology that he must keep secret, at least until he can figure out what it can do and if he can introduce it to the world safely. He has to in order to keep a promise of secrecy to his boss, because this new technology not only has the potential for tremendous good, but also for horrific evil.
The technology he invented is not Sandy’s only secret. His dad disappeared and Sandy has successfully avoided being discovered as a minor on his own for years but one of his secrets might betray the other, if he is not careful.
Along with the secrets that Sandy needs to protect, he also must navigate the relationship with his beautiful childhood friend, Tasha. After years of ignoring and avoiding him, Tasha is suddenly back in Sandy’s life. Sandy finds his relationship with her more difficult than any secret he could keep, including that of his world- changing Bubble Tech, a technology that renders what it surrounds both invisible and seemingly invincible.
Thomas Babak is the pen name for the author of the Bubble Tech series. He hasn’t used his real name for almost all of his life. His real name has a tendency to scare some people. Especially now that he makes his home in the Midwest with his wife, two kids, two dogs and one lazy cat.
He is a former Intelligence Officer who has spent some of his life in Europe, Iran, Iraq and Somalia. Some of the professional highlights of his career include jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, putting rounds down range, receiving rounds back at him, getting chased out of villages by clan militia and selling stuff. Selling stuff is his favorite since it pays the best and no one is trying to kill him. Yet.
This book is about a young man 17 years old trying to get along in School and the world, He invents a tech that makes things fly and invisible. I thought is was a good read.
