The machines are evolving all around
us. Every day they grow faster, smarter, deadlier. Vast sums pour
into research to create autonomous machines that can do everything
from drive our cars to fight our wars. Artificial intelligence
silently tracks our every movement, every purchase, every
communication.
In my new series, Empire of Machines,
some humans live at peak benefit from robotics and artificial
intelligence, enjoying unprecedented wealth and power while machines
carry out every dirty task, from cleaning their homes to conquering
and ruling an empire of human-settled worlds.
Other humans, including all those on
Earth, live at the bottom of the system, among bombed-out ruins of
formerly splendorous civilizations, struggling to survive as the
machines hunt them through the rubble. Some of them have begun to
fight back.
I've spent most of the last year
preparing the Empire of Machines trilogy, exploring the extremes of
the possibilities ahead while following heroic individuals through an
interplanetary epic.
Today, the first book, Engines of Empire, is finally live on Amazon. I'm excited to finally bring this story out to the world, after laboring so long in a dark cave to bring it to life. (And sure, that “dark cave” might just be my garage, with a decent window view of the woods out back, but you get the picture.)
I hope you'll begin this dark, twisting
new interplanetary adventure with me. Here's the first book on Amazon
(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WLPFXM1). And here's the Amazon UK link.

I hope you find this new series
intriguing. The second book, Islands of Rebellion,
is going through final proofing and will be available in October, and
the third book will follow not long after. I look forward to sharing
this new adventure with you.
