Having an AI control the system can't be that bad, can it? The Waymakers are gone. Sol Corps and the colonies have reached a fragile peace. But some in the Corps want to install a new AI to prevent another rebellion. Thus, Glitch, a supercomputer built from old Waymaker code, is born. There's just one problem: the AI is incomplete. Humanity has seen its share of brutally oppressive regimes, but none have been by an artificial intelligence... until now. Unleashing its vicious star snakes, Glitch takes control of the system, killing thousands on Day One. Everyone loses someone. Captain Jack Hale and his crew are no exception. Outmatched by a corrupted AI, Jack Hale will need to change the rules if he's to win. The odds are against him. But it's never a good idea to underestimate Captain Jack Hale...
