The Quantum Gate Series
She’s the last of her kind. He’s the first of his. Together, can they break the bonds of slavery?
Arista is the only remaining human, hiding on a planet full of automated machines. With the closest things the teen has to parents nearing their termination date, she vows to transfer their consciousnesses into new hardware hosts. But when her dangerous mission fails and exposes her secret existence, she lands in the clutches of the malevolent metal overlords who exterminated her race.
Tortured and interrogated, Arista finds an unlikely savior in Frees—a human-hating rebel android with a mind of its own. And her only shot at saving her family relies on teaming up with the robot revolutionary in its desperate bid for freedom.
If Arista can believe what Frees says, she may possess untapped power that could rewire the world order…
Singular is the thrilling first book in the Quantum Gate YA dystopian cyberpunk thriller series. If you like grim post-apocalyptic futures, well-crafted characters, and plenty of twists and turns, you’ll love Eric Warren’s high-octane tale.
She thought she was alone. When it’s all over, she’ll wish she was.
Arista and Frees, having beaten the AI known as Charlie, now face new troubles. Without a master to give them new instructions, the Peacekeepers are still hunting the teenager and her autonomous friend. And the worst part is, they’re still no closer to finding Arista’s parents.
But when a mysterious call interrupts their fleeting attempts at freeing the machines—from someone claiming to be a human, no less—Arista knows she can’t ignore it, despite Frees and her other allies fearing it’s a trap.
It turns out this human, Sy as she is called, may not be the only one. And she needs Arista’s help if there’s ever going to be a chance of humanity surviving. The only catch is Arista has to travel to Japan to eliminate the second of the three AI’s. And time is of the essence.
But Arista is haunted by the actions she took to destroy Charlie, and isn’t sure she has the strength to do it all over again. She’ll need to lean on her friends more than ever if she hopes to succeed.
Arista Barnes was the last human on Earth.
That is, until she learned of a human colony hidden from the machine world she’d been hiding in ever since she could remember. But after her first encounter with another human goes horribly wrong, Arista finds herself facing what could be her greatest fear: that humanity might be her enemy.
Together with her machine companion Frees, Arista seeks out humans who have begun hunting down the machines, only to find one that can grant her access to the colony. Unfortunately, he pushes her too far, and Arista is left with guilt over what she’s done in order to reach her goal.
But these humans can’t be allowed to commit these atrocities, and when she learns they might even have something to do with her parents’ disappearance, nothing will stop her and Frees from finding the truth.
The only problem is, it might be more terrible than either of them is willing to admit.
Arista once dreamed of a planet full of humans. Now it scares her to death.
After the disastrous events at the human colony, Arista’s world has been turned upside down. Literally. Now she and Frees must try and navigate this strange, new world without getting killed by some anti-artificial nutjob. The only question is: without a Quantum Gate, how do they get back?
New York is nothing like she’d ever imagined it. Then again, her New York is fifty feet under water. After she breaks out of jail, Arista must use all her guile and knowhow to find a way back. But that means getting off the glittering jewel of Manhattan and into the real world. And she and Frees aren’t the only ones who came through the gate.
But once she makes it outside the city, she finds an unwelcome, but familiar face in this unfamiliar world. The only problem is he may be her only way back home.
It has all come down to this.
Stuck in an alternate universe while Charlie wreaks havoc in their own, Arista and Frees are desperate to return home to stop him. Their only problem: they don’t have a Quantum Gate.
But their new allies are clever, and if they play their cards just right, they might find a way back after all. What they find after being away for months is anyone’s guess.
It turns out things are worse than they ever could have imagined. Charlie, the psychotic AI run amok, has begun an all-out war against the remaining humans and the Peacekeepers, determined to wipe them from the face of the Earth.
And the only ones left to stop him are Arista and her friends. In order to do so they’ll have to seek out the last original Artificial Intelligence, and there’s no telling if he’s even still alive or if he’s willing to help.
CAUSALITY is the final chapter in the pulse-pounding QUANTUM GATE saga. Filled with unforgettable characters and a world in peril, this last installment will leave you guessing until the very end!
Eight-year old Arista finds herself in a world she doesn’t know, with no memory of how she got there.
How can she hope to survive with no allies, no resources, and no clue about what’s going on?
