Five Star Finalist in the Spring 2023 Readers’ Choice Book AwardsFinalist for the 2023 Page Turner AwardsA GLOBAL BANK IS HIDING A DARK SECRETAn artificial intelligence algorithm has been secretly implanted into its computer system...A TERRIFYING NEW ADVANCE IN TECHNOLOGY...but this aggressive and highly sensitive AI is good: so good that it bankrupts the entire world economy.A frighteningly realistic thriller, The Transfer Problem is an adrenaline-fueled mystery that takes readers to the heart of a dark world. Ethan, an introverted banker with a traumatic past, falls in love with Anna, an enigmatic scientist with whom he shares an academic interest in the philosophy of existence and consciousness. But with the reappearance of Ethan’s rogue brother Robert – a hacker who is forbidden from using technology – the hypothetical turns all too real: Robert convinces Ethan to let Anna transfer a conscious mind into Ethan’s trading algorithms.But when Anna’s experiment goes well – too well, in fact, with world-altering consequences – Ethan finds himself on the run, searching for answers to Anna’s mysterious past and looking desperately for a way to give humanity its future back.With nail-biting action and smart, technical themes, The Transfer Problem asks what it means to exist, to be real, and to be human. But it also asks an even bigger question: how far would you go to avenge yourself?

"This is that rare thing: a technothriller where the author actually knows what he’s talking about when it comes to technology. The funny banter between the characters is actually funny, and the plot is genuinely gripping. Like if Neal Stephenson wrote a book with Douglas Adams." -Goodreads, 5*"Gripping ... particularly when things start moving *very quickly* and good character development. I’m looking forward to seeing more from Adam Saint." -Goodreads, 5*"A heart-pumping near-future technothriller packed full of big ideas about the nature of existence and humanity – one that's also a page-turner that will keep you gripped throughout. As soon as you begin to wonder how far away we are from exactly the kind of technological possibilities he describes, you'll realize: we may already be there." -Goodreads, 5*"My one thing about tech thrillers is I have no frame of reference – my own tech knowledge is so sparse, I'm ill-qualified to judge the likelihood or otherwise of the tech details. But a gripping page-turner, with likeable, interesting characters and plenty of plot swerves, this most definitely is. Read it in about three sittings, even ignoring the tennis, so gripped was I. Belter." -Goodreads, 4*"An exciting fast-paced thriller. Science fiction revolves around artificial or not-so-artificial intelligence and is explained in an intelligent and mostly comprehensible way – it sparked my interest. Very clever, well-plotted and very readable." -Goodreads, 5*"A good mix of tech and sci-fi, along with a little humour." -Goodreads, 4*"There are so many things about this one that I love. The story uses the transferring of a conscience into a machine in a refreshing way and it's told in a way that gets your attention from page one. Truly a unique and enjoyable read." -Goodreads, 4*"Intelligent and intriguing ideas ... The author has obviously got a firm grasp on his material. It is fascinating to see the technology at work." -Goodreads, 4*
