Manufacturing Artificial Intelligence Agency (M.A.I.A.)
New York City’s entrails are evidence of World War III battles hard lost, but it’s not over yet.
M.A.I.A. (Manufacturing Artificial Intelligence Agency) emerges from the bunkers of Governor’s Island fostering elite AI soldiers whose mind chips read thoughts and controls memories with the 19-84 Vanishing Sequence.
When Sniper Alix Basil recovers a forbidden memory, he threatens Supreme Reader, Albert Rankin’s totalitarian ambitions for dominating the minds of men. Veterans, opposing 19-84, scheme to extract Alix before his mind is erased and ignite a new war–against AI.
Will Alix, his love for Anna, a sharp shooting medic, their simulation training be enough to resist M.A.I.A.’s memory erasing program and survive a bullet-riddled world where they don’t return if they die?
