«Tiger and the Robot» by Grahame Shannon

Chandler Gray, a sailor and software developer has created Saga, an Artificial Intelligence assistant which emulates the powers of fiction’s greatest detectives. Saga lives in the cloud, and travels in a phone. The exciting action of the Swiftsure Yacht race launches an adventure which ranges from the urban landscape of Vancouver to the wild islands of Alaska. 

Gina Lee, a glamorous billionaire, and owner of the yacht Chan is on board, disappears during the race, but the crew doesn't find out intil the following day. Saga volunteers Chan to help in the search, falsely stating that he is a Private Detective. The result is a series of exciting events, involving a wildly varied cast of characters, an antique seaplane and an old Land Rover.

An Amazon review stated:

«I give the book a 5 out of 5 stars, for original plot, a divertingly fun and flowing read (it was well written), with many surprising twists thrown in along the way, right up to the end. I would love to see this produced into a movie, and it lends itself quite easily into a series production building further on it’s already well developed characters. A natural draw for any sailor, flyer, lover of adventure, and equally suited for the computer geek, as the author incorporates the maritime aspects so they are easily understandable by the layman.»  -Chuck F.
