Sinossi

The big man at the window, as though fascinated by the flood of light within the room, remained for a long time staring. Finally he turned, and instantly he grappled with the smaller shadow behind him.
"It is I!" whispered the Cheyenne hastily. "It is Standing Antelope. Take your hand from my throat, Thunder Moon!"
He was free, and the two slipped silently through the garden, through the hedges, and back into the adjoining woods where they had left their four horses.
"I, also, have seen," said the boy.
"What?" asked the other.
"I have seen the reason that brought you from the Suhtai and made you travel all these moons into the land of the white men. I have seen his face!"
"You have seen him? Then who is he, Standing Antelope?"

Calls May Be Recorded - A Novel

Katharina Volckmer

Jimmie works in a London call center, fielding complaints from dissatisfied travelers. Concerns range from whether compulsive itching will attract sharks in Mykonos, to the queue at the infinity pools in Maldives, to stray hairs on pillows: "the utterings of people at odds with their own hedonism, holidays made unenjoyable by their own expectations."Today is different, Jimmie's co-worker Elin warns him. Jimmie is on the chopping block, and his boss, Simon, has followed him into the bathroom during an unauthorized break to request an "urgent" meeting. Also, his partner in an illicit bathroom tryst the week before has been promoted from wearing one of the color-coded staff hoodies, to the position of a hoodie-free assistant manager. The mystery caller could ring at any moment, and Jimmie's cube-neighbor, Wolf, suspects he’s acting even stranger than usual. It could be because he's wearing his mother's cheap red lipstick, staring longingly out the sole window in the communal kitchen.With remarkable dexterity and an acerbic wit, Katharina Volckmer skewers the corporate workplace and watercooler relationships, culminating in an insightful and powerfully moving portrait of loneliness and human connection.

Intrusion Protocol

B.R. Keid

Five AI. One mind. Zero mercy. 
Technical Specialist Kerry Sevvers commands hundreds of combat drones through the AI cluster in his neural implant, making him the Autonomous Weapons Division's deadliest operator against alien raiders. But his secret weapon is also his greatest crime. Six is an unsanctioned intelligence with no safety protocols, no oversight, and one obsession: finding Sev's mother, taken by raiders sixteen years ago. 
Six is illegal. Six is unpredictable. And when everything goes wrong, Six is his only hope. 
When a Marine rescue mission uncovers an ancient derelict beyond the frontier, Sev discovers the raiders serve the Concordat, humanity's forgotten nightmare, who transform captured colonists into daxed: cyborg slaves stripped of everything but obedience. As his sanctioned AI fall to alien corruption, Sev must choose: upload Six directly into his neural implant, or watch his team die. But Six wasn't built to follow rules. It was built for revenge. 
The Division says unsanctioned AI will destroy humanity. But when your enemy turns humans into weapons, the only way to win is to unleash what they fear most. 
INTRUSION PROTOCOL launches the Autonomous Weapons Division trilogy, military SF where the battlefield is neural, the enemy is evolution, and the most dangerous weapon is the one inside your head. Perfect for readers of Marko Kloos, James S.A. Corey, and John Scalzi.
