  Meanwhile, Arty obtains a mental boost. Believing he has the answer to everything, he makes plans to do what he can to protect humanity from extinction. Pennington baulks and demands all the high-calibre AI’s be controlled - preferably by him. This doesn’t go down well with humans and AI alike, but there is no time to dwell on the issue, because the Nubl are coming.

  The race to defend Earth against the oncoming storm of Nubl hordes has begun.

  Humanity is on a knife-edge, despite surviving the first invading fleet of Shadow ships, a repeat attack would seriously damage Earth - it might not be able to survive.

  While Space Island frantically shores up Earth’s defences, increasing its chance of survival, scientists and politicians recognise the need to protect humanity from eradication. Plans are put into effect and decisions made to ensure civilisation and newly discovered technology is protected in the hope that one day the Nubl will be defeated, and planet Earth recovered.

  One man, extremely powerful and very determined, believes he has the answer to ensure his personal survival. He sets about to beg, borrow and steal everything he needs to achieve his ambition. When he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams, he discovers the ultimate irony - that to survive, he must be the first to die.

  The humans have a new champion, so do the AI’s. Neither are aware of RIGA’s identity - which might be just as well.

  In a distant galaxy a human/AI hybrid, RIGA, has been developed and perfected in a secret laboratory. Now, having escaped with the help of a mysterious backer, she and her friend Gossie are hunted across space by those who are determined to stop her at any cost.

  In a desperate pursuit, with bounty hunters prepared to kill her for the huge reward on her head, RIGA is forced to keep one step ahead as she frantically tries to find a way to preserve the tenuous peace between AI’s and humans that threaten to boil over at any moment.

  RIGA must now rely on her unique set of skills to keep her alive long enough to unravel the mystery of who wants her out of the way, and why. But with enemies everywhere, and a mysterious presence watching her every step, this may seem like a hopeless and impossible endeavour.
