Summary

Artificial intelligence is our last hope of saving the war-ravaged Earth in this near-future science-fiction thriller from the apocalyptic mind of New York Times best-selling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith (Hell Divers, The Extinction Cycle, Orbs).

The most advanced soldiers in human history are about to become obsolete.

Engines. Genetically modified warriors that keep the great Nova Alliance war machine churning against the enemy Coalition. Most days, Engines are all that stand between salvation and chaos. Led by legendary Engine Captain Akira Hayashi, Shadow Squad has fought on the frontlines for a decade. They are on the brink of victory when the Coalition launches a series of desperate and devastating attacks that cripple the Nova Alliance restoration sites vital to save the dying planet.

As the sites burn and Earth’s hope of salvation fades, Shadow Squad is equipped with neural implants to connect them to Apeiron, the first hybrid human-AI entity. She is coded for what Captain Hayashi believes is an impossible task - peace. But war isn’t the only threat to the Earth. Apeiron has uncovered a deadly secret with implications that could end all life. This rapidly approaching threat can be stopped only if humanity bands together on what will become known as E-Day, a pivotal moment that will determine the evolution - or the extinction - of the entire human race.

Balanced the ai vs human debate

Long periods of sustained threat, keeps the action and plot twists moving. Good voice acting

Action packed dystopia

A well written and performed fast paced story although one or two of the characters are annoying at times you can easily overlook it. it's not a high brow Sci-fi tale but is a very good casual listen.

Unity 151

Amazing!!! Everything about this story was great.

Before this I was listing to another story and 6h in it felt a mess and I was lost with who was who. But a hour into this and I knew what was happening and why.

The character are clear and I felt like I knew them. The detail was on point. I loved the added detail in the combat.

Ending is amazing and I will be listing to the next one
