Summary
Artificial intelligence is our last hope of saving the war-ravaged Earth in this near-future science-fiction thriller from the apocalyptic mind of New York Times best-selling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith (Hell Divers, The Extinction Cycle, Orbs).
The most advanced soldiers in human history are about to become obsolete.
Engines. Genetically modified warriors that keep the great Nova Alliance war machine churning against the enemy Coalition. Most days, Engines are all that stand between salvation and chaos. Led by legendary Engine Captain Akira Hayashi, Shadow Squad has fought on the frontlines for a decade. They are on the brink of victory when the Coalition launches a series of desperate and devastating attacks that cripple the Nova Alliance restoration sites vital to save the dying planet.
As the sites burn and Earth’s hope of salvation fades, Shadow Squad is equipped with neural implants to connect them to Apeiron, the first hybrid human-AI entity. She is coded for what Captain Hayashi believes is an impossible task - peace. But war isn’t the only threat to the Earth. Apeiron has uncovered a deadly secret with implications that could end all life. This rapidly approaching threat can be stopped only if humanity bands together on what will become known as E-Day, a pivotal moment that will determine the evolution - or the extinction - of the entire human race.

Balanced the ai vs human debate
Long periods of sustained threat, keeps the action and plot twists moving. Good voice acting

Action packed dystopia
A well written and performed fast paced story although one or two of the characters are annoying at times you can easily overlook it. it's not a high brow Sci-fi tale but is a very good casual listen.

Where to start…?
This isn’t like Hell Divers, E-Cycle, SoW, or any other book I’ve read by NSS, so if you picked this up expecting the same stuff I’d urge you to open your mind a little. This is an absolute benchmark in sci-fi writing. The characters grow through past/present narrative, and the tension builds from the start without stopping.
I can see this story in vivid, colourful imagery in my head as I read, and I can see this as a move or animation easily.
Word of warning: don’t expect fast food sci-fi with this book. You need to pay attention. You need to see what Skynet only scraped the surface of exploring. My advice? Keep an open mind, pay close attention, and get ready to dive in deep because this gripped me from the off and held on like a rescue cat with a catnip toy.

Not my usual but not bad
Very manga in feel, story was warrior, technology based a little confusing not sure of the ending may listen again but probably not.
