How It Ends: Part 1 - The Evaluation
In a future not so distant from our present, when a servant class of robots and machines are manufactured for the sole purpose of serving humanity, what happens when one machine subverts its programming to gain the love of a human?
This is part one of the serial novel "How It Ends", the story of Anita, a young graduate student; Brian, the smarmy college professor whom Anita is dating; Sidney, a professorial colleague of Brian’s who reluctantly takes Anita on as a research assistant; Kilgore, a robotic doctor who provides the human characters fascinating insights as to how the “mind” of a robot really works; Eric, a cut-throat executive in the nation’s largest robotics firm who is not above getting his hands dirty to get what he wants; and Gammons, Eric's robot assistant who has a special circuit for feeling emotion like a human.
To immerse yourself in the lives of these characters is to be swept into the increasing speed of the story until, at last, their lives collide in a global apocalypse and you find out “How It Ends”.
NOTE: This is part one of a four-part serial novel.

An interesting sci-fi book by an indie author. Any sci-fi book which has a character reference Beowulf gets points from me! An intriguing meditation on what makes us human.
