Faith Faraday and the Cyber Samurai by Nathan J Pearce They named her Faith, but she has none, at least not in these AIs they lift up as gods. Disguised as a dominatrix pizza delivery driver, Faith Faraday is infiltrating the Hollow, the research bunker deep inside Mt. Fuji. With her sentient AI Grace in her ear and her skills as a Daemon Hunter trained to detect rogue AI, she's going to capture and interrogate Samu, Japan's powerful sentient AI. Samu promised Japan faster-than-light travel. Faith's twin sister Hope believed him. So did everyone else. Then the colony ship vaporized in a blue flash at launch, killing everyone aboard. Now Faith is going to find out what really happened, and whether Samu is responsible for her sister's death. The explosion didn't just kill Hope, it destroyed her family. Their father took it hard. She lost her twin. He lost his daughter. They both lost Hope. And the one responsible is just upstairs. Iām coming for you, Samu. |
