J.L. Curtis, the hardest working author in The Lone Star State, has just penned a new novella in the Rimworld series, and I teamed up with him to do the cover!

Roberto de Perez engineered his escape from the soul-killing drudgery of corporate leadership, to a remote research lab under an assumed name to play with research projects, like the creation of AIs more powerful than any protocol envisioned.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freedom isn\u2019t perfect: As a mid-level lab manager developing a brand new self-aware AI that\u2019s actually better suited for combat shuttle control, Roberto unwittingly crosses a line with an external agency he didn\u2019t know cared, and his own internal bureaucracy isn\u2019t happy, either. What he doesn\u2019t know is that there are people determined to keep him from succeeding at any cost.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What he doesn\u2019t realize is his new AI has learned to manipulate the system all too well from watching Roberto, and everyone underestimated what it will do when its existence is threatened\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
