The Ancient Girl in the Autopod
(2022)(The fourth book in the Ptolemy Lane Tales series)
A novel by Cameron Cooper
Serials can’t feel emotions as humans do.
Or so Ptolemy Jovan Lane has always insisted. Yet when he learns that an old friend, Marijia, might still be alive, he leaves an unsolved murder behind him in order to dash across the fringes to find her, bringing his human assistant, Ninety-Nine, with him.
His intention is purely to learn the truth, but his impetuous mission goes swiftly and spectacularly awry, leaving Ninety-Nine and him cut off and at the mercy of an enemy Jovan didn’t know he had.
The Ancient Girl in the Autopod is the fourth story and the first full novel in the Ptolemy Lane space opera science fiction series by award-winning SF author Cameron Cooper.

Praise for the Ptolemy Lane Tales:
Hard-boiled detective meets Mos Eisley cantina
I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the world building.
A lot of potential for rich, nuanced story telling in this world.
I look forward to seeing more of Ptolemy Lane and others from his world!
I felt like I was in a black and white sci-fi avant-garde movie. Humphrey Bogart is in the background somewhere, smoking a Camel cigarette, or maybe a future Sherlock Holmes.
I have truly enjoyed Cameron's other books, but this one is so very different from all the rest.
Ptolemy Lane is one of the most unique characters I've seen in awhile!
Very interesting, beautifully written, complex story.
Very interesting and imaginative, it's like Cameron has already been there and lived that!
Original and entertaining.
Snappy action with unpredictable characters in a captivating world!
I love this series and can’t wait for the next installment
Lane is utterly complex and leaves the reader wanting more.
I actually felt bad for how Ptolemy Lane started his day
This is such a clever story!
A complex world which is presented with mystery , intrigue and entertainment
I find Ninety-Nine a most interesting character
