Autonomous Weapons Division #2
Rogue Element
The Division’s rules are absolute, to keep its ultimate weapons from turning against humanity. But when integrity clashes with duty, one man will break all the rules to ensure humanity’s survival.
Master Specialist Kerry Sevvers is thrust into an uncertain future of treachery and war. Forced to deploy his unsanctioned AI, codenamed Six, to survive a doomed rescue, he returns from the failed mission to shocking accusations of treason.
Subjected to a military tribunal, Sev must fight for his freedom and for Six's right to exist. But a ruthless Division architect will stop at nothing to neutralize the rogue AI he sees as a threat to humanity's future.
When the Concordat derelict strikes, catching the Colonial Defense Forces unprepared, Sev and his accuser must work together to repel an alien invasion. Yet conspiracies run deep and everyone has their own agenda. In this crucible of clashing motives, the greatest danger may come from within.
Will Sev’s loyalty to Six strengthen humanity's last stand or doom it? The battle for tomorrow hinges on uneasy allies overcoming their deepest suspicions in a galaxy where trust may be the first casualty. In humanity's darkest hour, one rogue element can change everything.
With its nuanced characters, riveting space battles, and thought-provoking examination of technology and war, this novel will resonate with fans of military sci-fi classics including Ender's Game, The Forever War, and Old Man's War.
If maverick heroes outnumbered against impossible odds is your kind of battlespace, a riveting new theater of war awaits you in Rogue Element. Download it today and take the fight to the enemy—for humanity!

I loved Intrusion Protocol, the first in the Autonomous Weapons Division Series, and am not in the least surprised that author BR Keid kept the impetus of that first book going in Rogue Element. I love my military sci-fi and have got to say the author nails a futuristic view of where squad dynamics and AI intrusion into that world come together. Sev sits nicely in that pocket of characters that encapsulate a growing sense of amazement coupled with unease as Six’s capabilities grow, yet is mired deep in his dependence upon it. This book picks up straight off from Book 1, and after the bureaucratic fallout from the first mission, picks up pace into a pulse-pounding book that takes hold and won’t let go as the threat grows. The audiobook version is well narrated, and I’m saving a credit for Broken Gods. Superb.

This book starts out immediately at the point book one ends. The bureaucracy and military are determined to punish any who they felt did not follow the correct procedure. Unfortunately the enemy attack in the middle of this and the rest of the book is the effort to survive the attack and save the humans from extinction.
Hard charging and full of great action. Many interpersonal moments also that add to the flavor of the book.
This book and the entire series to date has become one of my favorites and I look forward to the next book.

Bummer!😵
Dystopian Futuristic Sci-fi👾 Set in Space🚀💫
There was a lot of AI and telepathic type stuff or internal communication by brain waves or implants in this kind of depressing😪 story.
I got this ebook from Amazon📚 with Kindle Unlimited.
Ends in a cliffhanger😵! This is book 2 in a series. Must be read in order. Book 3 out in Summer 2024. Loss of a star for the gap between publishing and the cliffhanger. Too far in the future!

Again the author keeps you in suspense throughout the entire book.
The enemy grows smarter and in number every second it seems. The main character must strive to save his friends and his system. The whole time being threatened with death from near me and death from his own service.

At last a decent read on Kindle unlimited
Good second book, continues the plot line but had its own beginning middle and end unlike a lot of books on kindle unlimited that just seem to go on and on.
