Carbon Heart Silicon Soul: Books 4 - 5

Book 4: Bellona

Ny and his friends awake and find themselves in jail. Were they successful? Ny's not sure.  It's hard to remember the events that preceded him finding himself now in jail.

El is nowhere to be found. Ny remembers that she had managed to escape just as the police had disabled their van causing it to flip over on its side. Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured.

But where's El? Nobody knows, but Ny and his four friends now find themselves on trial. A trial that looks to be held in a kangaroo court where the outcome is most certainly the death sentence.

Unless their lawyer, Kuru Ramisira is able to argue for a lesser sentence which is not looking good.

Book 5: Mars

Ny and his four friends are sentenced to death. The whole trial turns out to be nothing but a miscarriage of justice and a spectacle to placate the public. But in the sports arena where the trial was held, the spectators are thirsting for blood and that's just what they'll get.

But it'll be their own blood. El keeps her promise to save Ny and his friends, including the lawyer from the ongoing murder of the entire homo sapiens species from these fully sentient AI robots led by El.

But El has decided, much like an omnipotent god, to grant humanity a second chance. 42 humans, because that's the answer to everything, are taken to Mars to start over.

Yet humanity has little freedom under the watchful guards of more robots created by the free AI robots led by El. Worse than that, there are other advanced races out there in the galaxy, hungry for our solar systems rich resources, and they'll annihilate any species that get in their way.

And through all of this, Ny is still searching for true love. El has promised him he'll find a soul mate on Mars. But will he? And if he does, is there time enough to enjoy it while aliens race to pillage the solar system?
