The military was everything to Sam and Lucinda-it saved their lives and turned them into cybernetically enhanced warriors, the Army's most prized soldiers. Now replaced by a new breed of soldiers and cutting-edge technology, they've been cast aside, deemed obsolete, and left struggling to adjust to civilian life.
Sam, drowning in whiskey and regret, isolates himself, unable to let go of the past. Lucinda, determined to rebuild her life, presses forward, though the void left by their sudden discharge feels impossible to fill.
Their aimless lives are upended when a gruesome murder in a Dallas high-rise pulls them back into the orbit of General Howell, the commander who once championed their program. On a covert mission, they uncover a shocking truth: hyperdimensional entities, eerily resembling historical figures, are emerging, with motives as enigmatic as the forces that brought them into existence.
Equipped with hyper-intelligent AI companions and combat enhancements that blur the line between man and machine, Sam and Lucinda must face a tangled web of shadowy politics, cosmic phenomena, and a world increasingly unprepared for what lies ahead.
Obsolete: Fourth World Problems delivers a pulse-pounding blend of sci-fi intrigue, dark humor, and gripping action. Perfect for fans of Altered Carbon and The Peripheral, this novel explores humanity's resilience in the face of obsolescence-and the mind-bending possibilities of what comes next.
