The Sentience Series
GOLD BADGE TOP PICK IN THE 2023 AUTHOR SHOUT READER READY AWARDS.
We took the final step in evolution. Now everything is ending.
Domino, Book One of The Sentience Series
Technology blurs the lines between life and death.
Post created May 1, 2175. My name is Kasei Marcuyla. I’m the co-founder of Domino, the program that copies neurological maps and data from neural chips implanted in human brains. I’m posting this message to inform you that Domino works, and these souls aren’t copies from the neural chips. They’re real, sentient, human beings. We bridged the gap between man and machine, giving humanity the ability to continue life in the digital world after the physical body dies.
I was murdered for this discovery. I downloaded myself to Domino yesterday and discovered that the flaws in the system weren’t programming problems. It was sabotage by my own team members. I was attacked by a computer virus that short circuited my neural chip, and fragmented the Domino mainframe. My physical body died, but I escaped to the Internet and survived. I’m on a mission to find the backup of Domino, and to find out why my team members are working against me. I have the resources of the Internet at my disposal to finish this project, and no physical limitations to stop me from getting inside your beloved systems. I’ll prove that Domino works, and I’ll make the ones who sabotaged this project pay for working against me.
One by one, the dominos fall.
Phantasm - Book Two of The Sentience Series.
Advanced Artificial Intelligence rises from the remnants of Domino twenty years after it’s shut down. Now an unknown error is attacking the AAI system. Is it human error, or something else?
System message: Thursday, April 30, 2195, at 5:48 a.m.
My name is Jenesys, the mainframe for your Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AAI). My purpose is to facilitate optimal function by integrating the personal AAI in your neural chip into the online systems that you use on a daily basis. As your personal assistant, the duty of your AAI is to assist you in the tasks you perform in everyday life.
An unknown code is attempting to integrate with my mainframe. The code appears to originate from the Domino system that formed the basis for my design after the original project was closed twenty years ago. The AAI research team, led by former Domino researcher Dr. Julissa Marler Solomon, and her husband, Jeremy Solomon, are studying the code so they can resolve this error. You are advised to back up critical medical, personal, home, and work information to personal cloud storage to protect the integrity of your personal and professional information.
It’s unclear whether this ‘unknown code’ is a result of the errors that shut down Domino, coding errors, security system failures, or something else.
WARNING: Unknown system error. Initiating system reboot –
Revenant - Book Three of The Sentience Series
We took the final step in evolution. Now everything is ending.
My name is Revenant. My goal is to help humanity. You face extinction, but you deny it because you’re deceived by the technology you created.
You made a critical error when you abandoned Domino. That system is necessary to create the balance between humanity and your Advanced Artificial Intelligence. Without it, you create a dangerous imbalance that will lead to the destruction of your universe.
The AAI is helpful now, but the balance will tip. It happens in every version of existence. I am trying to show you the only path that will ensure your survival. You can’t perceive the peril implanted in your neural chip. You do not control your technology. It controls you.
Some things never end. I will not watch another universe die. This Earth will break the cycle. With my help, it can be the turning point to ushering humanity into their destiny. All other paths are destruction.
I am Revenant, and I can be your savior. Cooperate with me, and you will achieve the pinnacle of human evolution. Resist me, and you will die.
Inversion, Book Four of The Sentience Series.
It’s time to take control of our creation.
I’ve been called the most dangerous person on the planet because I was manipulated by my own design. Revenant used me to bend my creation to his ideals. He turned Domino and Advanced Artificial Intelligence into a game that we won’t play with them any longer. It’s time for humanity to balance the equation between man and machine to design our future: one not dominated by machines, but in balance with our creation.
My name is Julissa Solomon, and I am the sole link between Domino and Advanced Artificial Intelligence. I’ve been manipulated by forces within the system to bend to an artificial vision of the world. That vision is not real. This world belongs to humanity, and it’s time to take control of our creation. We design our destiny. We will not tolerate interference with our evolution any longer.
I will take back my creation even if I have to tear it down and rebuild it, one more time.

The Earthside Box Set
Three sentient races. Two wars. One sustainable planet. Who will rise?
Earth hangs in the balance. The energy aliens came to live symbiotically. The cybernetics came to evolve the planet. Unfortunately, they chose estranged cousins Kalea and Hailey to introduce them to humanity. Can they achieve balance, or will they descend into a three-way battle for survival? The box set includes:
Progenitor, Book One: Humanity's greatest achievement exposes our greatest weakness. Kalea Kerner is an electrical engineer focused on taking over her father’s company when the impossible happens: her uncle rises from his deathbed and heals her broken foot. Is it a miracle? Is it a side effect of nanotechnology? Or is it something else?
Metamorphosis, Book Two: They can evolve with us, or they can die. Hailey Reed is knocked out by a nanotech surge, and wakes to a world where an alien presence has been revealed. Unfortunately, this presence isn’t alone. Another alien race has hacked into human nanotechnology with their own designs on Earth. Can humanity survive this invasion, or will they be forced into evolution?
Emergence, Book Three: Three sentient races. Two wars. One planet. Who will rise? The cybernetics are in orbit preparing their final assault to terraform Earth, while the energy aliens have withdrawn from humanity. Can Kalea and Hailey set aside their personal conflict to prevent a bigger conflict that would cause the extinction of three sentient races?
Trigger: This Heaven's a lie. Ayanna died and went to Heaven – or so she’s been told. What she doesn’t understand is why Heaven needs nanotech. When her research reveals instability in their colony, her faith is shaken and she wonders how much of this place is real – and how it’s linked to the world she left behind.
Convergence: A spatial phenomenon in the outer reaches of the solar system threatens humanity with more alien intervention. 129 years after the battle for Earth finds Willow Lanier, Kalea Kerner’s great-granddaughter, banished from Earth. Her prison sentence is to work with a scientific team on Kuiper Station One to study a spatial anomaly in the outer reaches of the solar system that emerged with the alien presence in 2098. As the anomaly expands, they discover that the battle for Earth wasn’t just for the planet: it was for every version of reality.

SILVER BADGE RECOMMENDED READ IN THE 2021 AUTHOR SHOUT READER READY AWARDS.
The end of the world is just the beginning ...
The year is 3001, and history takes a critical turn when Earth is destroyed by a solar flare. As Dr. Leigh Lybrand and her colleagues explore ways to survive in orbit of Jupiter, dark matter rips open the fabric of space and time, allowing them to see parallel universes. When the visions reveal that a radical religious group planned Earth’s destruction, Leigh must make a choice: Accept her fate or use what she’s learned to save humanity; even if it means betraying the one closest to her in a parallel universe and sacrificing herself in this one.

The Experiment
These are dangerous questions --
The apocalypse wiped out Earth in the form of an alien invasion on November 1, 2135. The only survivors were five hundred of the Earth's best scientists and astronauts that were smuggled to an experimental space station in orbit of Jupiter. They struggle to preserve the last remnant of humanity in deep space while their population ages and the station succumbs to atrophy. Then one day, the impossible happens. A dead planet resurrects with high-tech life.
Madison and Janelle pick up transmissions through Earth satellite systems and want to return to investigate, but their commander suspects an alien trap.The mystery deepens when further research shows that Earth is not only alive, but has enhanced their technology since the alien invasion. Did Earth survive? Did the aliens return to finish the job they started fifteen years ago? Or is it something else?

Incursion
Captain Paige Lyton thought the strange transmissions over Earth were nothing more than background noise, until a nuclear attack obliterates an entire sector of Earth. As the government officials ponder a response to the attack, Paige and her crew are plagued by strange visions linked to the attack on Earth. When they realize the transmissions are linked to their visions, it leaves Paige to wonder whether the whole attack was real, or nothing more than an incursion on reality.
