System Failure

Digital Evolution #2

by Ross Willard

It’s been a year since Tommy’s near death experience in D.C. A year since he was thrust into a hidden world of sentient machines and genetically engineered soldiers. A year since everything changed. Now, at fifteen, he has plans, plans that begin with starting his own company and end with changing the world. But to take that first step, he needs money he doesn't have. His so-called friends among the Nospious and the Society of Machines are perfectly willing to loan him the money he needs. But it won’t come cheap. The Nospious want his loyalty, and the machines . . . well, the machines want him to solve a murder. Or do they? Once again, the teenage prodigy is caught up in a world of politics, conspiracies, and lies. If he wants to survive, the only way out is through.

About the author

Born in Michigan, raised in Texas, currently living in Colorado, Ross has set roots all over the country, and promptly ripped them out.

A lifelong bibliophile, Ross has been writing almost as long as he has been reading. He credits his love of the written word primarily to his parents' influence.

Though he intends to become a prolific and wealthy writer soon, at the moment he is practicing the 'starving artist' lifestyle. Yeah, that's the ticket, 'practicing.'

A fervent supporter of independent bookstores, he can often be found working on his next book at those coffehouses connected to small bookstores, despite the fact that he doesn't like coffee.
