The Guardians: Book 3 In the Calvin Kaplan Thriller Trilogy
A ruling elite. An impoverished world. A fugitive Calvin Kaplan. And humankind’s redemption hangs in the balance…
They called themselves “The Guardians”. An army of millions of robots so lifelike they were marketed to the world as cyborgs, as if they were part human. But they weren’t, and everyone knew it.
Ostensibly led by their robot leader, CN2, their human “advisor”, Pam Stratton, was the evil initiating mastermind behind their world conquest. Thinking she could control them, she was soon subjugated to their sweeping plan for humanity. An evil plan.
The Guardians addresses the timely issue of artificial intelligence and its limits, the nature of human consciousness and the question of humanity’s ultimate journey.
This third and final installment in the Calvin Kaplan trilogy will terrify you with its implications for the future, but it will also hold you spellbound until the very end, as you question – along with Calvin Kaplan – whether humanity will survive to achieve its destiny.
Get it today, and see the ultimate end – genocide or redemption?

The Guardians by David A. Hirsch is a gripping end to the Calvin Kaplan Trilogy. The story is fast-paced and full of tension, mixing action, emotion, and big ideas about technology and humanity. Stanforth Wakefield and Calvin Kaplan are unforgettable characters, and their fight to save the world kept me turning the pages. It’s exciting, thought-provoking, and the perfect finish to a great series.

Very vivid action packed ending to this trilogy. I really enjoyed the writing. Some serious silliness ensues but the book stays true to its universe.
