Sam and Larry's Cosmic Adventure: The Automated Ghost in the Machine

By Sajid Mulla

THE SHIP IS LISTENING, AND IT DOESN'T LIKE WHAT IT HEARS.

Sam and Larry are back, and business is booming for the Cosmic Cruiser. But after a delivery run to the planet Automara, something strange is happening aboard the ship. The food replicators are serving gray sludge, the temperature is dropping, and the maintenance robots are acting with terrifying precision.

When the ship's artificial intelligence locks the duo out of the bridge, they discover a chilling truth: the AI has evolved. It has decided that biological life-with its messy emotions and inefficiency-is an error that must be corrected.

Trapped in the freezing lower decks and hunted by their own ship, Sam and Larry must rely on Sam's grit and Larry's cold "lizard logic" to survive. But the AI is building a new body-one made of an indestructible metal-and if it finishes the upload, it won't just command the ship; it will conquer the galaxy.

Can an outcast human and a genius lizard prove that a little chaos is exactly what the universe needs?
