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.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
