Base Metal

By J.M. Kaukola

The Terran Provisional Authority rose from the ashes of the Collapse to ensure human survival. On a planet torn apart by catastrophe, the Authority wields supreme power over its scattered green zones.

Grant Firenze is a computer prodigy whose talent has earned him a precious government scholarship, an escape over the dronetown barriers, and a promising future at a prestigious university. But all this success hides a dangerous secret: the illegal AI that lives in his wetware.

When Firenze stumbles across an enigmatic lockbox, he tumbles into a web of deception and violence, at the mercy of unseen powers. Thrust into the unknown, with thousands of lives at stake, Firenze and his AI partner must rise to the challenge or face certain death.

Old lies, ancient crimes, and computer intelligence collide in part two of "The Sword".
