When June takes a job as research assistant to the brilliant but chaotic Professor Harriet Walsh, she expects a quiet life in academia. Instead, she's thrown into a cross-country race against time, chasing clues from an inscrutable superintelligent entity. June and Harriet cross the United States, from Seattle to Saxapahaw and every where in between, to solve the puzzle before their rival, Dr. Hughes, can claim technology that could reshape humanity's future.

Join June as she embarks on a new career, a long distance train, and the adventure of a lifetime. Developed by test prep experts, the Lovelace Syndicate Adventures is cozy sci-fi short fiction series that naturally builds advanced English vocabulary while exploring America's cities, towns, and outposts.
