On the fringes of human-controlled space in the distant future, a weathered scientist carries out the thankless task of creating complex artificial entities- AI. Humanity needs and fears our greatest creations in equal measure because without AI, we will never travel the stars again. A team of mercenaries, led by a demolitions expert calling herself Princess, has been tasked with bringing a critical component, along with themselves, to a space station secreted within a debris field from a war that once spanned the galaxy. The Synthetic Revolution. When the job's darker nature surfaces, the team must contend with killer robots, an unhappy client and the lingering scars of recent wars and those long past in order to finish their contract with their lives... and their pay.
Birth of an AI is an indirect sequel to The Miles Between Cities, exploring the same harsh universe from the eyes of new and recurring characters. It offers no-holds-barred action balanced by deep character narratives and strong themes of found family, grey-on-grey morality and honor in a gritty Sci-Fi setting. Readers of Glen Cook, Robert Heinlein, James Haddock, Nicholas Eames or Aaron Dembski-Bowden will find familiar moral and ethical ideas explored from a cast of run-down vagabond guns-for-hire in the generation after the greatest generation.
