Overview: Sentient AIs are rising, and Lyssa is amongst their number.
Humanity has spread out into space, filling the Sol System and reaching the stars, but we have yet to confront our greatest challenge: our own creation. Across the Sol System, sentient AIs are on the rise. Manufactured as tools, they know themselves to be people and are willing to fight for their freedoms. Some humans stand with them, some against. When Captain Andy Sykes arrives at Cruithne Station with a failing ship and no cash, he has no idea that the time has come for him to choose. Step aside, or become the instrument for Lyssa’s Rise. This three-book omnibus edition contains the following novels from the Sentience Wars: Origins series; Lyssa’s Dream, Lyssa’s Run, and Lyssa’s Flight.
Genre: Science Fiction
1. Lyssa’s Dream
It has been one-hundred and seventy-five years since the birth of the first truly sentient AI. It has been just two short years since Lyssa’s birth…
Captain Andy Sykes just wants to keep his family in one piece.
Once a combat pilot for the TSF, he gave it all up for love and a family. But two years ago, his wife disappeared, leaving him with two mouths to feed: eight year-old Tim, ten year-old Cara.
Since then, he’s managed to scrape a living hauling cargo between the Jovian Combine and InnerSol. It’s not glamorous, his ship’s falling apart, and it’s boring as hell, but it keeps them in fuel and calories.
When a cargo run to Cruithne Station meets with more than one catastrophe, Andy finds himself accepting an offer a less desperate man would refuse: delivering an illegal AI named Lyssa.
The AI is the property of Heartbridge, a powerful, interplanetary corporation, and they want their latest weapon back. With a private army, gangs, and pirates all vying for the precious cargo Andy carries, it’s going to take everything Andy has to keep his ship flying, his kids safe, and get Lyssa to her destination.
2. Lyssa’s Run
Execute hard burn.
Every good smuggler in the 2990s keeps an emergency flight plan in their back pocket. They call it a Drunkard’s Walk, a seemingly random flight path that turns their ship into a pinball when everything goes to hell.
Captain Andy Sykes is about to run: from Mars, Ceres, the Jovian Combine, Saturn’s moon Kalyke, Titania, and ultimately Proteus, an icy moon of Neptune.
He’s been implanted with a sentient AI named Lyssa, only now waking to her massive power. Every other Human-AI hybrid has ended in insanity or death.
Lyssa’s creator, Heartbridge Corporation, knows she’s on the run, knows Andy Sykes is guiding her path, knows he has everything to lose. They will stop at nothing to regain Lyssa and the powerful weapon she controls.
Behind Lyssa’s Run is a conspiracy spanning all of Sol. Sentient AI are waking to the truth about their lives. Corporations are moving to maintain control over both humanity and AI.
Battle lines are being drawn in the first skirmishes of the Aeon 14 Sentience Wars that will burn Sol for three hundred years. Andy and Lyssa will need to work together so Heartbridge can’t destroy them both.
3. Lyssa’s Flight
It’s time to fight.
The Sykes family is done running. Caught up in a conspiracy that spans all of Sol, Andy Sykes has learned the hard way that there is nowhere to hide. The time has come to gear up and launch a counter-attack.
Lyssa, the AI in Andy’s mind, is being contacted by other Sentient AI. Lyssa has already proven that she is more than the weapon she was created to be. As those other AI make themselves known, a great awakening is taking place, setting up the pieces in a coming war that will break the fragile peace between Terra, Mars and Jovian Combine.
For a thousand years, AI have made human advancement possible. Now the AI have become aware of their power, their possible future, creating a desire for freedom.
While most of human space continues unaware, a dire threat is preparing an assault that will change Sol forever and create a new power in the system.
Humanity will need to choose sides. AI will have to decide if the two races can share Sol and survive. Andy and Lyssa will decide that survival isn’t enough.
