[DISPONIBILE SOLO SU AMAZON] Jane Atlas non ha mai preteso nulla dalla propria vita, solo un lavoro stabile, una famiglia sana e giornate colme di tranquillità. Dopo essersi lasciata alle spalle un passato burrascoso le cose sembrano procedere normalmente, si è trovata un'occupazione all'AIS, l'Agenzia Investigativa del Sovrannaturale, lavoro che la rende felice, riempiendo le sue giornate di banale e felice normalità. Almeno fino a che non riceve la notizia del proprio trasferimento alla Torre degli Operativi. Jane si ritroverà con le proprie speranze spezzate nel momento in cui si renderà conto che, alla Torre, nulla è semplice. La propria quotidianità verrà completamente stravolta da questo gruppo di personaggi dalla pessima reputazione. Loro risveglieranno in lei delle ombre che sperava di essersi lasciata alle spalle una volta per tutte. Ma tra queste tenebre potrebbe ritrovare dei sentimenti che pensava di aver abbandonato, tra questi sconosciuti potrebbe riscoprire l'affetto verso gli altri e se stessa, ma soprattutto superare il dolore causato dalla perdita di ciò che era certa di non aver mai posseduto. Ma, ancora una volta, la familiarità conquistata si rivelerà falsa quando strani e pericolosi individui turberanno la loro pace, riportando a galla spettri di un cruento passato che l'AIS aveva tentato di seppellire. L'oscurità inizierà a strisciare nuovamente nella sua vita, distruggendo ogni illusione di sicurezza che aveva ottenuto. "Siamo Guerrieri, Jane. Non si torna da una battaglia senza qualche ferita da ricucire o qualche cicatrice di cui prenderci cura. Non siamo indistruttibili, siamo solo un po' speciali." (Beta: @Greys_TheBlackHeart )

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***

Highest: #2 in adventure "My second question is what should my name be?" I raised my brows. "What? You don't have one yet?" He chuckled. "Come on, I'm new to this circuit. Just help me pick an identity, Jamie. A name. Maybe something science-y, cool, and cold." He said, tapping his dark blue mask idly. "Oh, and It must begin with C because it would take me ages to find a trustworthy tailor who is also secretly a scientist to fix this suit." "How about Caitlin Snow? She is a biochemist and she can shoot ice out of her hands." I suggested. "And if anyone says she is not cool, I'm willing to fight them on that." "As much as I'd like that." He crosses his arms, smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "She is Killer Frost already and stealing another super's identity is not cool." I threw my hands in the air. "Catelyn Stark of Winterfell?" --- Jamie Devlin's life is about to flip after learning something quite super about herself. She struggled to cope with her life (saving the day, schoolwork,an insufferable friend, and a self-proclaimed super stalker.)

Warning: heavy flow of profanities ahead. - and tears - or so I've heard.
