Laim Series

The first book in the beloved, bestselling series—The LAIM-Saga.—---She’s far from home, subject to the diabolic plot of a strange empire…and mistakenly implanted with an AI symbiont.

“The only one who does not know she is a goddess is the goddess herself.”

For fans of Neal Asher and To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini comes an epic new space opera: Admiral’s Choice follows Alisia’s struggle for survival as she teams up with her AI neural implant against an alien empire intent on using her as a strategic sacrifice in an intergalactic war.

Alisia is normal, as far as humans go. She’s a young historian recovering from heartbreak, intent only on settling down and living peacefully. But the gods have different intentions. Alisia and her sister wake up on an alien ship. The merciless Admiral Brutus of the Vudar empire has mistaken the pair for members of the rival Sem’Pari race and plans on using them as spies, controlling them with neural implants. However, Alisia quickly realizes Brutus’s team unknowingly implanted the wrong AI chip in her head.

Alisia names this AI companion Eric, and it’s almost too easy for her to connect with—to love—this exhilarating new voice with whom she shares her body. But even when it becomes apparent that almost no one aboard the Vudar ship is who they claim to be, Alisia chooses to trust Eric. Only he—it—can help her harness her new superpower-like abilities, which are her best hope to escape back to Earth…and survive.

With adventure, found family, and romance, listeners won’t soon forget Admiral’s Choice, at once a rollicking, epic space opera and a breathtaking examination of the relationship between extraterrestrial life, technology, and humanity.
