MWSA Review
Don't Go There! by Charles Rothbard is a rollercoaster of gasps, groans, and head-scratching. Due to mature content, Don’t Go There is certainly not family-friendly.
Disgraced former intelligence soldier, Eric Palmateer, descends into crippling mental illness and defects to Korea, thinking that he can unify the peninsula while developing safe artificial intelligence. Palmateer works diligently to develop a pack of AI dogs and does so successfully.
From there, the story descends into chaos as Eric falls in love with Sora, an active porn star, and aligns himself with kooky Kim Jong Un. In addition to the pack of AI dogs, Eric and Sora take on real dogs that accompany them everywhere.
Don’t Go There misses the mark for Horror and/or Sci-Fi. Readers might find the technical errors, content, or language in this book objectionable. Reader discretion is advised.
Review by Nancy Panko (February 2023)
Author's Synopsis
Don't Go There! is a story with the perfect blend of everything you want; divine redemption, the future of AI science, hot romance, real political conspiracies, and of course, true love.
At the center of it all is Eric Palmateer, a disgraced former US intelligence soldier suffering from crippling mental illness.
Through a series of twists and turns, Eric's madness proves to be a blessing when Providence works through him to bring about the peaceful unification of the Korean Peninsula and the development of safe and trustworthy AI technology.
Knowing Eric's life leads to these great things, you should definitely root for him... And preemptively forgive him for falling in love with a porn star and aligning himself with Kim Jeong Un along the way.
