The Singularity Rising: Fate
The sixth book in the best-selling science fiction series!
After a five hundred year absence, the Artificial Intelligence known as The Genesis is preparing to cast its grip across humanity again. Only this time, a new race of humans has appeared: ones with powers The Genesis doesn’t understand nor know how to defeat.
Caesar Wells, the only person to ever ascend into The Genesis, races to find out how these humans can be stopped, as their powers threaten to destroy everything and rule over everyone in a way that should be reserved for The Genesis.
Yet, this group’s leader, Lexi, doesn’t plan on standing idle. She has plans for the world, and at the center is Caesar’s death.
Humanity’s fate rests between these two colossal figures … Life or death … Slavery or freedom…

About the author
David Beers
73 books215 followersI used to deliver pizza. I was pretty good at it, too. I mean, it's not that hard, but if I'm not going to brag, who is, right? Anyways, so I'm delivering pizza while I'm in college, and my boss has been in the pizza industry like six years. He's supposed to graduate from college this year, and I ask him, what are you going to do after college? We're all supposed to go out and conquer the world right after college, so this guy has to have some kind of plan.
He looked at me like I was delusional.
"I'm a writer, man."
Those four words changed my life more so than anything else ever spoken to me.
I'd always written, since I was twelve participating in online-wrestling forums in which you acted out your character. I wrote because it came naturally. Never once, in the entirety of my nineteen years did I think that writing could be a career though, until a Pizza Sage said those four words to me.
So what did I do? I went home and wrote a short story and immediately understood that I was the greatest writer to ever touch a keyboard. I brought it to the Pizza Sage and he told me what anyone could have told me--it was horrible. I might be dumb, probably am, but I'm also tenacious.
I spent the next seven years writing almost every day. My first novel grew to the length of 40,000 words, then I threw it away. My second novel grew to 140,000 words. I didn't throw it away, but it was rejected about 50 times by agents. My next novel ended up at around 55,000 words, which I showed to a few friends and shelved. Then I wrote Dead Religion, which is the only reason I have an author page at Amazon.
I have had four short stories published, paid and unpaid. 'Effects May Vary' won an award that was voted on by readers, which was pretty cool.
I'm currently getting my Masters in Business at the University of Georgia's Terry School of Business. I'm doing this in order to not deliver pizzas but still keep the lights on. I have a girlfriend who will soon be my fiancé, and after ten years, I imagine she's ready for that title.
I want to own a yacht.

Awesome
Another great read. Only thing I don’t like is that the app is forcing me to write at least 20 words so I can even submit a rating.

""Then the fun began in earnest""
If you have read the previous book, Singularity Rising: Choice, you won't need a review to remind you of the thrilling conclusion where anything is possible, nor urge you to buy this book. However, if you are new to this extraordinary serial, stop - don't buy till you have read Choice. It will test your imagination and stretch your ideas of right and wrong. But, beware, Singularity will suck you in and spit you out, desperate for more. Mr.Beer's writing is vivid, absorbing and, yes, sometimes confusing, but that is because his characters, too, often don't know what is happening.
The different strands are meeting, clashing, swirling together in their disperate searchings for power or survival and the future is totally unknown. If you thought Game of Thrones was complex with ambition and larger than life personalities, think again. The game for the end of humanity is only just beginning

The Genesis wants to wipe most of the population out but humanity is fighting back. Lexi has called as many of her kind as she can and a growing number of them are discovering that they can Rise, unlocking powers that they never knew they had. Meanwhile the one who may be the most powerful of them all is being manipulated, out in the desert, trained for a different mission. And The Genesis have decided that enough is enough: it is time to eliminate every last human on the planet, to consign this bothersome species to extinction.
