Sarita Shantay is a government agent tasked with a unique assignment. She must get a secretive scientist to relinquish his hold on a new technology that will change the future of humanity. Scientists have christened this new technology, The Scotty, because it can transform matter into energy and transfer it from one point to another, just like the popular device in the Star Trek series. It turns out that this new gadget's unique design increases the potential for its use in multiple ways, which can hurt or help humanity depending on the users' intentions. Sarita takes it upon herself to protect the United States' interests concerning this life-altering device, but her best efforts may not be enough in Eric J. Hildeman's The Scotty!
Eric J. Hildeman looks at how their creators can use and abuse revolutionary inventions from a futuristic perspective. The characters have well-developed origin stories, and their motivations become more apparent as the adventure progresses. Hildeman creates a one-of-a-kind adventure in the form of a collection of short stories based on the use of a single device but linked together by several main characters in a thrilling take on the battle for supremacy between man and machine. Hildeman's storytelling adds a lighthearted tone to the adventure, diffusing some of the technical discussions surrounding the use of this device in a way that makes it easier for the reader while still providing an immersive experience. The Scotty! is a feast for the imagination, vividly depicting a world transformed by advanced technology. Futuristic toys, a recurring theme, inject a sense of wonder into the narrative. These toys, far from mere playthings, are integral to the plot, showcasing Hildeman's skill in weaving together technology and storytelling.
