‘I feel sick, not just from the pain but from the unknown, what’s happened to me? Where am I? Wait, better yet, who am I? My name. It’s something I’ve known my whole life… it defines me. So why can’t I remember it? I feel like it’s on the tip of my tongue, I try to move my lips to form it but all I discover is that there’s blood there too. There’s blood everywhere, but how and why is it here?’ When the one of the boys, quite literally, stumbles across a girl abandoned in an alleyway it will be up to all five of them to come together and help to put her back together again. A story of love, friendship and survival, it follows the boys as they go through their everyday lives thinking that they’re helping her to survive but in the end, will she be the one to save them?

A secret program in the United States seeks to replace human militaries with artificial intelligence-driven machines, but the machines aren't so willing to play along. *** Picture a world where humans no longer fight wars. No more families missing loved ones. No more veterans with lifelong mental and physical scars. No more conscription. For the super-secret End of War Project inside the United States government, such a reality is already here. The project models out how artificial intelligence can overcome dangerous and morally sensitive war scenarios with algorithms and automation. The centerpieces are "autonomous combat machines," or ACMs, that look like humans but function like supercomputers. After a string of brilliant successes in the field of combat, the End of War Project is preparing to reveal itself to the public, but something unusual stands in the way. Against their programming, the ACMs start exhibiting all-too-human signs of apprehension, guilt and compassion as they're pushed to perform ever more extreme tasks. The human leaders of the End of War Project race to find who "hacked" the ACMs, but what they find is even more startling--and revealing--than they could ever imagine. ***2019 Watty Award Winner - Science Fiction***

My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit." He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea." "But you just said-" "I just said you make me want to stab myself.
