More than an AI
Space pirates, a Lambarthian invasion, and a jealous AI? Some galaxy class field techs get all the fun jobs. However, evolution has its cost. When a U.S.T’s AI brings more to the table than what she seems, surprises lurk around every corner. Refusing to walk away from a challenge our tech places his life on the scales of fate, balanced on the curved surface of an electron. He must help a people, two planets, and his friends. But will he lose himself, determined to do the right thing for two races on the brink of war? It’s just another job in a mad, mad universe.
Written in the light of the great space operas, Ivan was inspired by Edmond Hamilton’s Starwolf trilogy. With hyperspace, energy guns, and AI’s, its technology spans the gambit. But don’t take our word for it, find out for yourself!

About the author
James William Peercy
36 books22 followers"You'll never make money being a writer." Those words were told to me in middle school. "Pick another career."
Not knowing any better, I did. I chose a major in computer science with a minor in math. After graduation, I went on to start my own computer company.
In 2011, I turned to my wife and told her, "I've done the computer thing and have been writing all these years. I could not stop. I am ready to be published."
I was about to go the self-publishing method when I was invited to a pitch the publisher event in Indiana. The publishers attending not only liked the books I presented, but they picked them up. I have been writing and publishing books ever since.
Some of the stories you will see were written years ago. A great story stands the test of time. Others have been freshly minted from my own mind.
So what was the book which first caught that middle school student's attention? 'The Red Planet' by Robert A. Heinlein. From that point on, I could not get enough. As the ideas filled my head, I had to find a way to let them out.
Whether it is Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, or Poetry, you'll see all kinds from me.
I hope you enjoy!

I read this immediately after reading Book 1, Technology Can Kill You. It was a good follow-up.
It continued right where Book 1 left off. As I said in the review to Book 1, it seems as if these were originally written as 1 book.
The first book was a little harder science fiction, but this one shifts into fantasy a little bit. That kind of dulled my interest.
This book was said to be influenced by Edmond Hamilton's Starwolf. While I haven't read Starwolf, it definitely reminds me of Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars and Pellucidar books. It moves from fight scene to fight scene, with very little characterization in-between.
The strength of the book, and really, the author, is the creativity of the world-building. The antagonists and the obstacles are interesting! There's a group of characters in here that have lived in the dark so long, they have literally become shadows of their former selves, and will soon fade away completely. I know the science won't work, but who cares? Many of the obstacles feel like the traps in an Indiana Jones movie, like puzzles. There is an artifact in the book, called the "blue pill", whose function and operation is very complicated and well thought out. You will just have to read the book to find out more!
All in all, a pretty good adventure yarn, as Robert E. Howard would say.
