ALL IN ALL (book 3 in the series Building Sandcastles)


Book Description

The devil may be in the details, but it doesn't mean you can't embrace the details. That was Blake Austin Harvin’s college professor's advice to his brainy student before Blake secretly left Chapel Hill to Virginia to become a recruit for the CIA in June 2021. Blake was a nerd through and through. He could analyze concrete details by over-generalizing statements because details can be cross-checked by reality more easily than a hunch. A nerd cares more about being right than appearing smart. So, Blake grabs onto details as a way of investigating facts. Blake had a STEM major. Highly educated. Many nerds gravitate toward science, technology, engineering, and math. His education dealt plainly in facts and observed many whys. Whereas many other more subjective disciplines lack the aim of fact-checking. Nerds prefer more theoretical fields, such as task-related, analysis, coding, and software programming. Nerds see gray areas whereas others only see black and white. This is because nerds are good at examining the pros and cons. Blake was a pro and a con. Sometimes, leaving him looking like an occupational vacillator, constantly seesawing back and forth between sides of an argument or the law. Blake zeros in on facts, leaving him in the gray area. Vacillators are unpredictable and detach from black and white. Blake is working on stepping out of the gray area and using his talent to gather information and wait for a pre-aligned set of theories to make a conclusion to hit his enemy with the force of facts. Blake’s brain is the lethal weapon.
