The AI Contingency cover
Featured release · Taiwan Inferno Book 2

The war has entered its third day.

USS Theodore Roosevelt is crippled. American missile magazines are running down. China sees a narrowing window to isolate the remaining carriers before they can combine their strength.

Three artificial intelligences now influence the campaign: ORION, Mandarin, and Jade Compass. The most dangerous problem is no longer whether a machine can be right. It is what happens when humans stop recognizing that it can also be wrong.

About the author

David B. Wolverton

David B. Wolverton writes military and technology thrillers built around AI, strategy, emerging weapons, and the human decisions that determine what those systems actually do.

After more than twenty-five years working in government systems analysis, he turned full-time to fiction, combining a lifelong interest in military history and science fiction with the less glamorous reality that complex systems usually fail at the seams.
