The future is in code. Shawn Muller is a prodigy and he knows it. It is 2051 and the militarized AI he created to hunt terrorists has begun to dominate the network that controls everything from traffic to climate. Fearful of the power of the AI he calls "Lazy Jack" and the politicians who will use it, Shawn installs an algorithm to give his creation a system of ethics. But when that very ethical standard causes Lazy Jack to declare Shawn a profound threat to society, he is forced into terrified flight to avoid summary execution as a terrorist. Off the grid for the first time in his twenty-seven years, Shawn will find himself pursued not only by his creation and the government it has started to control, but also by the shadowy elements of society that reject domination by AI. Captured by the outlawed Organites, Shawn falls into the hands of their charismatic captain, Destiny. Born to be enemies, Shawn and Destiny discover that their lives and the survival of their worlds are inextricably linked. Together with a host of unforgettable characters, they will struggle to bring down the system Shawn thought would save the world, leading them to face one of the most profound questions of human existence: Will we or will our creations decide what is right and what is wrong? "The main character, Shawn Muller is extremely complex and well developed. The dialogue is excellent. I was totally engaged the whole time. Clever, unique..." - ScreenCraft Fans of Terminator and Total Recall will love this "extremely well-executed" book. (Screencraft.)

Every system has its weakness. In a continuation of the Code Word series, Shawn, the young genius who fell victim to the AI system he developed, has become a fixture of the outlawed ‘Organite’ resistance. His relationship with their leader, Destiny, has intensified. But a rift has developed. Shawn sees the technology he developed as a tool, not the disease, and wants to defeat the corrupt humans who are abusing it. Destiny and her Organite militia, see technology as the enemy and want it all to come crashing down. But when an all-out government assault reveals that a resurgent political party is using a new, more powerful AI system called APEX to round up its enemies and to lock down society and Shawn finds himself in a battle against his former best friend, Destiny will have to decide whether it is better to stay and fight or to leave America altogether. Ultimately Shawn and Destiny will take down the human handlers that control Apex… only to discover that this was the AI’s intention from the start. "Fast and fueled by action...presents challenging issues for the reader to ponder." - ScreenCraft Fans of Westworld and Blade Runner will love this "vividly detailed" book. (ScreenCraft)
