  A tale of two crimes in the twenty-first century: In the rugged ranch country of eastern Arizona, Graham County Deputy Branden Allred and San Carlos Tribal Police Officer Allen Victor are investigating the death of a young Apache. At first it appears to be a freak accident, a conclusion the Sheriff likes, but the officers begin to suspect murder. Motive is the major missing element, and nothing makes sense until a one-hundred-year old unsolved crime comes to light. 
   
   
   
  In the nineteenth century: Near the end of the 1800's in the same vicinity as the present-day murder, US Army Major Joseph W. Wham, Paymaster, and his twelve-soldier escort were ambushed and the payroll in gold and silver coins was taken. Though several men went to trial for the payroll robbery, they were found not guilty. The loot was never recovered and never surfaced. Though the treasure was sought for decades it eventually faded from public memory. 
   
   
   
  In working the present-day case, the policemen must deal with politics, cultural differences, and limited resources. Two local ranchers, an environmental activist, and an unknown horseman become the primary murder suspects. In a backdrop of historic places, diverse geology, wide vistas, breathtaking scenery, Native American culture, and rural society, the mystery carries the flavor of both the old and new West.

  The year is 2074. For a decade, the technology for mind upload has existed. Anyone who wants to – and has the means to do so – can now stave off death by having their brain scanned and uploaded to the grid; a virtual, digital world. Society is divided over the new technology, but Anders Helmemyr, one of the proponents of the transhumanist movement, is hopeful. He dreams of a day when this technology will be available to everyone. 
  When a devastating terrorist strike rocks the world, Tiina Björk, expert investigator at the Swedish Security Service, is assigned to a manhunt for a mysterious hacker suspected of being involved in the attacks. But the investigation creates more questions than it does answers, and the curious interest from other security services suggests all is not as it seems, and something much bigger is going on. 
  Introdus is the second book from Swedish computer scientist and sci-fi writer David Sikter’s epic trilogy Let There Be Gods, a compelling and evocative vision of the future of humanity in the age of sentient machines.
