    About this ebook

    Deep space, an endless void, a darkened expanse of littered stars and limitless possibilities, ushers the mercenary Asegai to a derelict, drifting ship. His AI finds, evaluates, and links with the craft, promising vast wealth upon the ship’s recovery. As always, Asegai is cautious but perhaps blinded by the immensity of his discovery.

    Within the command center of the monstrous prize, the mercenary pilot encounters a ‘life-form’ like no other – Contrarian, an advanced AI with professed feelings and counterintuitive processing. Before long wits are tested and a battle rages, pitting the gifted warrior against an intelligence bent on the destruction of them all.

    In a stunning upheaval of rational thinking and the concept of artificial intelligence, writer Kell Inkston opens the door to possibilities that will make you rethink advanced evolution, life, and the true meaning of death. You won’t know until the very end who...or what, triumphs.

      Asegai Mzungu awakens at the ping of his ship’s scanner amidst the voided mess of deep space. The full-suited mercenary, too cautious and too paranoid to de-armor himself until the job is done, wearily yawns through his helmet.

      Sun-chan, he bleats weakly.

      Yes, Onee-chan? A young, feminine voice emits from all around him.

      Hell’sat?

      My scanners have picked up a large object composed of eighty-eight percent petrium.

      Asegai jolts up from his chair. A ship!

      That’s right, Onee-chan! With a mass of roughly three million Finnatonnes.

      The volume of his breathing overtakes the whirr of the ship’s systems. Any signs of life?

      Mmm, a little; only minimal power usage to central systems.

      Asegai leans into his chair. Take us there.

      Okay!

      The Sakura Sun sails through the nebulous clouds with flawless ease, its parts and software top of the line and customized to optimum efficiency. It takes only a few minutes before the Sun reaches the edge of a massive silhouette, a great, ink-black shard in the star-speckled space.

      God, that’s huge.

      It certainly is, Onee-chan! I just unpacked the com-tag too!

      Yeah?
