About the Book
Deep under The Mountain on Snakeholme, vast computer networks are running simulations, but
they're flawed and General Burgton's self imposed mission to safeguard
the Alliance is in jeopardy. Without reliable intelligence, he cannot
protect the Alliance from itself, let alone the Merkiaari.
The
missions he authorises are blacker than black, so secret that only he
and the agents performing them know of their existence, but every
operation relies upon his seemingly miraculous fore-knowledge of events
and he is starting to make mistakes.
Needing a solution, Burgton
breaks the Alliance's A.I ban and spends trillions of credits on project Oracle, but when the project fails, and desperation sends him looking
for an answer, he compounds his crime. If he can't build an A.I, he'll
just have to steal one!
