    Fighting the Machines Series

    By David Geoffrey Adams

    ()

    About this series

    Twelve years have passed since the destruction of the Earth and two years ago the Starship Einstein discovered an apparently unoccupied planet, now called Eden, on the edge of the Hyades Cluster.

    Unoccupied it may have been but alone it was not. Monitored by advanced artificial intelligences called Guardians.

    The Einstein's crew soon found that there were other ways to cross the light years and there are beings so advanced that their science appeared more like magic and other civilisations in the cluster.

    After defeating one attempt to capture the Einstein the humans are invited to travel through the network of wormholes to meet the intelligence that built it.

    ***             ***                  ***

    "You tell us that you are over a million years old. That you have existed since before the earliest ancestors of homo sapiens roamed the grasslands of Earth and you want to help us. Why do we warrant such aid?" Ellen sat very still even as she struggled with their situation.

    "I would help you because you are a most remarkable species. As far as my people, the Ryx, know you are only the third species to find a way of avoiding the constraint of light speed."

      Short Listed for Best New Author 2020; Runner-up 2nd Edition Have you ever wondered why the world's major powers have started a new arms race while continuing to work together in space, especially on the international space station? Could the conspiracy theorists be both right and wrong? Might it be that Roswell and Area 51 are just misleading? That governments are hiding not past contacts but the prospect of a dangerous future contact? This is the story of two remarkable young women and their journey of discovery. Set against that background without knowing why their work is supported by world governments they will lead humans to the stars.

      Contact is the second book in the Fighting the Machines Saga and follows the continuing journeys of the starship Einstein and its new Captain. Ten years after the death of Earth, the survivors have found a planet so close to a paradise it might have been prepared for humans. The settlers are working hard to build a sustainable life so that they can look forward to a future when they will seek out and destroy the machines that tried to kill the human race. But all is not as it seems. Eden was prepared but not for the Einstein and its people and now AIs left to guard the system thousands of years before are taking action to warn their designers. "That's a wormhole! Captain, you wondered how that craft might cross interstellar space. Well it looks like we now know the means, if not the how." 83,000 words
