Dark Phase Complete

by Jonathan Davison

Available for the first time as a complete edition, the acclaimed Dark Phase and it's worthy sequel, Dark Phase: Repatriation and the final book, Dark Phase: Factions. The Dark Phase universe has been described as compelling and thought provoking. Furthermore the series has often been compared to the works of Asimov in its exploration of the future possibilities of artificial intelligence. The evolution of life in all its forms and the delicate balance of nature are themes prevalent in an emotionally engaging and vivid tale of 'what if'? Synopsis - Sarazen is a silicant, an android existing in a highly organised and rigid society where individuals are designed to perform unique functions. Created and maintained by The Mother, each silicant coexists in harmony to pursue their primary function, the protection of the primitive organic creatures with whom they share their world. Sarazen, a career 'troubleshooter' is called to examine a rogue named Cole with orders to fix his malfunction or send him for 'renewal', but Cole is unlike any silicant Sarazen has yet encountered. Cole's enlightening revelations lead Sarazen to make the courageous and perilous decision to leave the comfort of The Mother's influence and find the true meaning of the silicants' existence and the horrifying reality of their collective fate. What people said about Dark Phase: (Unsolicited reviews on Amazon and Goodreads) 'I was pleasantly surprised. For an Indie writer, the style and vocabulary used are uncommonly professional.' 'The development of the main character is fascinating and quite believable. The writing is crisp and flows well.' 'The book takes plenty of time discussing the philosophy of belief and knowledge, human folly and innocence. It was a great read and definitely worth the time. Story and characters are compelling.' 'This is definitely a 5 star read. No spoilers here, but if you like a well written, thoughtful, a "makes you think" ending, this book is for you. The writing is incredible, it reminds me of Isaac Asimov and his lovely writing.' 'Sarazen was a surprisingly likeable character and this book was realistically written and enjoyable.' 'I enjoyed this book immensely. It is the story of a troubleshooting android (silicant) who becomes self aware and when pressured by later self aware models, uses his own beliefs and logic to make his life decision.I can't wait to read more from this author.'

About the author

Hi, my name is Jonathan Davison.

I never had aspirations to be a writer. It all happened by accident. One day I had a few hours waiting for something to happen and I thought it would be a great idea to write a story. After I finished my first book, I vowed never to do it again. I started my second book the next day.

I am an independent author. That is someone who takes it upon him or herself to write and publish books all by themselves. This means no agent or editor, no safeguards, nowhere to hide! It also means my books might not be free of typing errors, grammatical anomalies or mistakes in my research - for that, I apologise in advance. By publishing this way, we amateur writers are exposing ourselves to critique which can be uplifting as well as disheartening and sometimes beguiling. It is my aim to tell a story and I hope that you will enjoy sharing the fruits of my over-active imagination without getting too many pips between your teeth.
