A Marine taken out by a rogue lawnmower wasn’t how Henry Morgan expected to go. But death was only the beginning.
A century after his bizarre demise, Henry is reconstituted as a Heritage Mind™, a once-human intelligence tasked with governing America’s first military starship. With humanity still reeling from decades of out-of-control AIs, Henry’s uniquely human perspective—and complete lack of rights—make him the ideal candidate for the job.
As the only AI with military expertise to survive the catastrophic Power Surge of 2072, Henry must navigate interstellar politics, hostile factions, and the dubious intentions of the people pulling his strings. But can an obsolete Marine-turned-AI protect humanity while questioning if it’s worth saving?
The galaxy is watching, and Henry’s in the crosshairs.
