Sixty-nine-year-old Arthur Pepper lives a simple life. He gets out of bed at precisely 7:30 a.m., just as he did when his wife, Miriam, was alive. He dresses in the same gray slacks and mustard sweater-vest; waters his fern, Frederica; and heads out to his garden. But on the one-year anniversary of Miriam's death, something changes. Sorting through Miriam's possessions, Arthur finds an exquisite gold charm bracelet he's never seen before.

Harmony House is more than a “special place for special people.” It’s a think tank where high-functioning autistic savants harness their unique abilities for the benefit of society. Resident Eddie Parks’s contribution: an “echo box” that can re-create never-recorded sounds using acoustic archeology. All Eddie wants is to hear his late mother’s voice. But what he’s created is inadvertently posing a threat to national security. To Harmony House’s shadowy government backers and radical extremists, the echo box is the ultimate intelligence asset - an end to the very concept of secrecy.

These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man", attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" (" miss sounds like you weigh 99 pounds").

For the past few hundred years, most of what we’ve been taught about the native cultures of North America came from reports authored by the conquerors and colonizers who destroyed them. Now - with the technological advances of modern archaeology and a new perspective on world history - we are finally able to piece together their compelling true stories. In Ancient Civilizations of North America, Professor Edwin Barnhart, Director of the Maya Exploration Center, will open your eyes to a fascinating world you never knew existed - even though you’ve been living right next to it, or even on top of it.

She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old. It doesn't help that she has Asperger's and that French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. She decides that she needs lots of practice - with a professional - which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.

Publisher's Summary
A dazzling debut novel - at once a charming romance, a hilarious crime caper, and a moving coming-of-age story - about what happens when a 14-year-old boy pretends to seduce a girl to steal a copy of Playboy but then discovers she is his computer-loving soul mate.
Billy Marvin's first love was a computer. Then he met Mary Zelinsky.
Do you remember your first love?
The Impossible Fortress begins with a magazine. The year is 1987, and Playboy has just published scandalous photographs of Vanna White, from the popular TV game show Wheel of Fortune. For three teenage boys - Billy, Alf, and Clark - who are desperately uneducated in the ways of women, the magazine is somewhat of a Holy Grail: priceless beyond measure and impossible to attain. So, they hatch a plan to steal it.
The heist will be fraught with peril: a locked building, intrepid police officers, rusty fire escapes, leaps across rooftops, electronic alarm systems, and a hyperactive Shih Tzu named Arnold Schwarzenegger. Failed attempt after failed attempt leads them to a genius master plan - they'll swipe the security code to Zelinsky's convenience store by seducing the owner's daughter, Mary Zelinsky. It becomes Billy's mission to befriend her and get the information by any means necessary. But Mary isn't your average teenage girl. She's a computer loving expert coder, already strides ahead of Billy in ability, with a wry sense of humor and a hidden big heart. But what starts as a game to win Mary's affection leaves Billy with a gut-wrenching choice: deceive the girl who may well be his first love or break a promise to his best friends.
At its heart, The Impossible Fortress is a tender exploration of young love, true friends, and the confusing realities of male adolescence - with a dash of old-school computer programming.

Touching story
Very well read and entertaining. The author captures the setting perfectly and the characters feel so real. Everything reminds me of being a teenager in the 1980s.
A very creative, original, and fun novel. I'm glad I found it.
The narrator does an exceptional job of making himself sound like a teenage boy.
One minor negative about the audio. The computer code at the beginning of each chapter is a great example of something that works in print but not on an audiobook. I think that they should have left it out after the first chapter. it's very helpful to have the 30 second fast forward button to move past it.

YA Nostalgia
I picked this book up after wanting something similar to Ready Player One. And while it is not a thriller and it does not take place inside a video game, it centers around a creating a game in the 1980s so it has the Halliday feel. As far as YA novels like this go it is top notch. The narrator is great and I highly recommend it.

Engaging and Entertaining Look at late 1980s Adolescence
Jason Rekulak’s fictional memoir is engaging and entertaining, blending the right amount of nostalgia with a solidly paced story about a pair of 14-year-olds in the mid to late 1980s northern New Jersey. With a healthy dose of computer programming, nods to video games and teenage desire, he’s woven a deft tale of incandescent and exploratory first love crashing headfirst into the cold reality of real life.

Slight but enjoyable
A fun read. The characters are believable, the plot a little less so. It's reminiscent of a lot of teen films from the 80s.
The narrator does a good job of sounding like a kid. The "code" sections at the start of each chapter are a little annoying, and pointless, but they're brief.

Throw back to 80s days of ML code
Would you listen to The Impossible Fortress again? Why?
Yes
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mary
What does Griffin Newman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
never heard him before. I will listen to him again
Any additional comments?
I love how the audible chapters matched book chapters. I love the characters. I love the 80s strictness of the parents despite their curious children. I love the beginning of each chapter was code from the game.

Like an 80s movie
This reminded me a lot of an 80s film. I learned to program in qbasic in DOS and took a Pascal class in high school. on the go I had a ti83 which I wrote my own games on. This book really hit home and I'm glad I picked it up. The narrator kept me entertained, I really couldn't have asked for more.
