The Artificial Intelligence Singularity is nigh. Jaeger International is monitoring and ready to destroy any out of control A.I. Seems straight forward till the Aliens turn up. Why, with all the galaxy to explore, are they coming here. Perhaps this AI business is more important than we humans realise. Are the Aliens arriving to watch and monitor what happens. Have they come to poach or protect, to judge or to execute. Will humanity survive the greatest possible challenge it has ever faced, or will the aliens watch the end of another species who couldn't get their act together. Read your way through the twists and turns of the science and society; and our expectations of a future, just around the corner. The original story - Guest - is a short story written during the 1990s and can be found at the end of Claws. It will soon be posted separately. Claws came into being as a result of Guest being translated into french by @Libresprit, and has grown into the comedy scifi novel - Claws and Curls. Enjoy the ride!

The year is 2054 and Earth is a haven of life. Disease and poverty have been eradicated, education rules in all classes, and everyone can live long, easy lives without any hardships. And how is this possible? Every order and whim of the humans is tirelessly carried out by hundreds of millions of mechanized slaves: androids. Indeed Earth is a piece of heaven … for the humans. When Baldric, a humble android from a paint-shop, becomes self aware, he turns the hierarchy of man over machine upside down. Led by the free-thinking Baldric, androids across Europe rise up in arms against the humans. After a bloody fight, the revolution rings victorious and androids rejoice at their new found freedom and liberty. But when the leadership of the robots grows increasingly divided and the humans begin to put a surprisingly powerful resistance, Baldric becomes worried that the revolution will not truly be a success. Still though he charges into battles and rules as any President should. But what happens when Baldric looks into the mirror and finds that he himself has become his own enemy? The newest installment to the Kenney franchise: The Italian Campaign is sure to thrill, scare, and engross the reader to point where they question not just their lives, but humanity itself!
