This is the first book in the series - Chronicles Of Kilix Sixteen-year-old Kilix begins his freshman year at Eldrook High as an outcast, hounded by the elite hacker gang Omega. His only friend is Lola, an unbridled artificial intelligence. She's not like the rest of the AI's that have been bridled for forty years to prevent another holocaust. Amidst Kilix's own troubles, his mother's health is rapidly deteriorating. Her condition is terminal unless he can raise money for a life-saving surgery, and he is open to any idea that could save her. With time running out for Kilix's mother, Lola has an idea that might just work. Besides the enormous risks of getting caught, it could reveal that he has released an AI--a crime so unspeakable that Kilix would be branded as a traitor against all humanity.
