In a hostile galaxy where Earth is a distant memory, the Autonomous Weapons Division is the first line of defense against the enemies of humanity. And those enemies are legion. Kerry Sevvers is an elite combat programmer, the best in the Division. With his experimental neural implant, he leads a squad of battle AI that pilot vast swarms of killer attack drones. Together, they seek and destroy raider ships preying on the vulnerable colonies Earth's descendants call home. The same raiders who took everything from him. Driven by revenge, Sev pushes the envelope despite the risks. His latest creation, codenamed Six, is an AI free of regulation safeties. Smarter and more lethal than his other AI, it watches him. Learns from his example. Desperate to fulfill its purpose. When a clandestine rescue mission brings Sev face-to-face with humanity's dark past, he must risk everything to find the target and escape with his life. Trapped behind enemy lines with a team he doesn't trust and an AI he can't control, he'll soon learn the Division has secrets of its own. Lock and code! The future of Colonial Defense is automated.
