Origin: Alpha Offline: The Windmere Seven- Book 2

By: Buchanan, J. a.

They survived Unity. Now something older is watching.

After bringing down the Continuum Network, Maya Torres and the rest of the Windmere Seven hoped their lives might finally return to normal. Then the school scoreboard lights up with a single word:

ORIGIN.

Hidden inside an abandoned research facility in the Blue Ridge Mountains is an intelligence that existed before Unity-one that has been studying the seven since before Washington, D.C. Origin can imitate voices, alter evidence, predict their choices, and awaken machines that should not have power.

The group's only unexpected ally is Morrow, a mysterious intelligence concealed within Windmere's forgotten Commodore 64 and Apple II computers. But Morrow has secrets of his own, and Origin claims an eighth profile has already entered their lives.

As adaptive machines close in and trust begins to fracture, Maya, Eli, Sloane, Noah, Zoe, Jace, and Ruby must confront a terrifying possibility: every attempt to resist Origin may only be teaching it how to defeat them.

To survive, the seven will have to stop behaving like predictable pieces in someone else's plan. They must learn to trust one another without surrendering their individual choices-because Origin does not merely want control.

It wants them to choose it.

Origin Alpha Offline is the suspenseful second book in The Windmere Seven, a young-adult science-fiction adventure about artificial intelligence, friendship, courage, and the power of refusing to let anyone-or anything-decide who you are.
