Ava has a secret that could shift the balance in a world divided by wealth and technology.
Although she’s inherited her father’s ingenuity for robotics and engineering, Ava has transcended her tech roots. Now, she’s on the brink of a discovery that could transform the very fabric of society. If she can stay alive long enough to share her secret, it could mean saving millions of lives or destroying humanity.
Ava’s life in the West End is gritty and bleak, with few freedoms, strict curfews, and constant surveillance. In stark contrast, New Eden is a thriving metropolis, a testament to artificial intelligence technology’s true promise and potential. Ava yearns to bridge this rift, creating a new social order with unbridled opportunity for everyone. But something outside her control doesn’t want Ava to succeed. She needs help but has few options. When someone attempts to kill her using technology that shouldn’t exist, Ava knows she must risk everything to save herself, and the technology she knows will change the world.
“This is a very promising beginning with some strong world building.”
“This is an interesting, engaging, well-written, and promising start! As it isn't finished yet, I can't comment on the plot as a whole, but so far, it's exciting, and there's something there which can easily capture the reader's attention and keep it. The pacing is brilliant, too. what you have already is great. Well done!”
"Ava's determination and love for Leo are evident in this excerpt, making her a relatable and empathetic protagonist. Leo's concern for Ava and willingness to cooperate despite the risks are also well portrayed, deepening the reader's connection to the characters."
"Ava’s story is an engaging tale of what a future landscape might look like. The first standout for me is that the protagonist is a female intellectual – two things in contrast to most other dystopian stories out there. Filled with acute descriptions to help readers understand technical intricacies, this story follows Ava through a few days of clandestine escapades, intriguing theories around the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration with robotics, and a murder conspiracy. The provided background and details into the complexities of robotics and potential expansion into the growth of AI – definitely a hot topic right now – make difficult topics a bit easier for someone like me who doesn’t work in those wheelhouses. This was pretty fascinating stuff wrapped up into a mystery, and I’m looking forward to where Ava’s next exploits take her."
