The Downloaded (2024)
Robert J Sawyer
"One of the best SF novels I've read in years. The Downloaded is a tightly-written SF story that will hold your attention, but it's more than just that. Sawyer has given us an advance look at a technology that we may have someday if we're fortunate, but also a near-future world that we may get, too, and God help us if we do. The juxtaposition of the two makes this a fascinating tale."

Transformation (2017)
(Transcendental Machine, book 3)
James Gunn
"James Gunn has been a visionary leader in the science fiction field for more than half a century."

Slaves of the Switchboard of Doom (2017)
(Retropolis, book 1)
Bradley W Schenck
"Funny and action-packed."
