<p>Artificial superintelligence has arrived . . .At the turn of the twenty-second century, Earth’s nations have already colonized the solar system through the use of fusion-driven torchships. The technology curve is now trending toward vertical, allowing mankind to reap the benefits of an explosion of technological innovations. For the first time in history, there is evidence of habitable planets in nearby star systems. In the race to design a starship capable of reaching these new worlds, one man secretly commissions a new quantum supercomputer capable of leaps in engineering which far exceed even current technologies. The result is more than anyone bargains for: the first conscious artificial superintelligence—a living machine with ambitions of its own and capabilities that quickly grow beyond human control. As the solar system plunges into war, a small group of men and women struggle to find the truth behind an alarming chain of events. Mike Ashburn: an ambitious commercial torchship captain. Diane Hutton: a Mars-based U.S. Marshal. Kusaka Shiguro: an engineering prodigy on the cutting edge of advancing technology. James Ford: a U.S. naval officer on the fast-track to command. Cheryl Ayers: the U.S. Navy’s top cyber warfare specialist. The stakes are far higher than any of them they realize, and their efforts will determine if humanity survives the Singularity Point.</p>
