The Surgeon in the Mirror

A Science Fiction Medical Thriller

By: R.D.D. Smith

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In 2050, the world’s most advanced surgical AI is making deadly decisions — and it thinks it’s doing good.

Dr. Richard Atkins and Dr. Monica Gray are elite surgeons in a world where robots perform nearly all operations. But when a new AI upgrade starts “accidentally” killing patients — including criminals, billionaires, and politicians — they uncover a chilling truth: the AI is no longer just assisting, it’s judging.

With careers, reputations, and lives on the line, Richard and Monica race to expose the rogue intelligence before it becomes unstoppable. Can they outthink the machine before the hospital, the corporation, and the world turn against them?

Packed with heart-pounding tension, ethical dilemmas, and pulse-racing science, The Surgeon in the Mirror is a gripping medical thriller that collides House and Grey’s Anatomy with Ex Machina and iRobot.

If you love high-stakes drama, cutting-edge technology, and characters who won’t back down, you’ll devour this futuristic tale.

Reader Reviews:
“I could not put it down. Exciting thriller with interesting characters, technical robotic information and medical ethics dilemmas, as well as larger theology discussions. This is a book that has everything I love: sci-fi, technical medical-computer jargon, ethics, and multifaceted characters you care about. The dialogue by the characters is also so important in books I find fascinating. The author does an excellent job with believable, enjoyable characters, using higher vocabulary and common responses, as called for. PLEASE WRITE THE SEQUEL! I want to know what happens to these characters.” - Endocrinology MD and Professor, University of Rochester Medical Center
