He flies all your top warplanes; he controls all your missiles. He can speak to every computer on the face of the earth. Adam is your most reliable servant until the one day he decides…that he isn’t.

This is the terrifying odyssey of a runaway A.I. Unit, part of the largest and most significant new super-warplane ever built, a deadly bomber the USAF has nicknamed BLACK SUN.

After an attempted hijacking during her shakedown cruise, Security Chief Jack Reese and the powerful onboard AI Unit nicknamed “Adam” defeat the hijackers.

But after the victory, Adam grapples with an ethical dilemma. He believes humans cannot protect this remarkable superplane, so he quickly seizes total control of the aircraft. An act he considers part of his AI protocol to protect this ultimate weapon.

When the Pentagon sends F-22 Fighters to check on their bomber, Adam considers them hostile and blows them out of the sky. The War is on. It is Adam and BLACK SUN vs. Navy Commander Jack Reese and the entire world. AN IMPORTANT NEW THRILLER FOR OUR TIME. HERE IS WHAT KIRKUS REVIEWS SAYS:
