My sixth and latest novel is with the editors. Here’s a sneak preview.

Can a pair of AIs love a child as their own?

A colony ship reappears after twenty years lost in deep space. Of the thousand passengers and crew, the sole survivor is a seventeen-year-old girl, Riander Solitar, her only company the ship’s two Artificial Intelligences. All she wants is to be reunited with her relatives, to be part of a real family. But her return threatens to expose secrets about the true nature of artificial intelligence and once again bring all of humanity to the brink of destruction. Working from the shadows, the Keeper of the Box and his predecessors have protected those secrets for three centuries. Can the crew who found Riander save their own careers and return her home, or will they and the machines who raised her all be sacrificed for the greater good?
