Building on their victory in the last Intergalactic War, the imperialist United Intergalactic Coalition seeks to expand their influence over the valuable Kronite mines of Golgath. Reeling from their defeat, the warrior Feng are down but not out. The overextended UIC and the vengeful Feng deploy battle groups and scramble fighters as they battle for position in the universe, spinning optics and building coalitions. Captain Reinhardt of the Resilience and the elite Razor’s Edge squadron uncover the Feng Emperor Hiron’s last ditch attempt to turn the tables with a new and dangerous technology. With resources spread thin, the UIC seeks to exploit Feng’s weakened position through a very conditional peace accord. Unwilling to submit, Emperor Hiron must hold them off and quell the growing civil unrest of his starving, warrior people just long enough to execute the mysterious Operation: Catalyst. Commander Massa and his Razor’s Edge squadron race against time to stop Hiron’s plan, and a new race awakens, led by a powerful prophet set on toppling the established galactic order through violent acts of terrorism.

Major Peter Birdsall is back and on the hunt for Kafka, the notorious terrorist with extraterrestrial origins. Hell bent on an alien invasion of the free world, Kafka uses the NSA and their Retinal Gateway Technology as a Trojan Horse to lead his own army of ravenous drones and murderous cyborg mechs. Bitten by Kafka, Peter’s transformation into one of Kafka’s lieutenants is imminent. Racing against the clock, he teams up with Tronika, a black hat computer hacker, to battle the Order for International Liberation and unravel Kafka’s plot to enslave the world’s population before it is too late. Winner of a Reader’s Favorite International Book Award “This is fast-paced sci-fi horror at its finest. There are more plots than the KGB and some first-class villains which I’d love to see brought to the big screen…the brother dynamic, the NSA element and the superb villains drive this story in all kinds of directions…the writing is always crisp and you are never far from action but the story still manages to get into your head.” Sean T. Page, Author of “Alien Invasion Owners’ Resistance Manual”

I AM AUTOMATION 2

The United States Army has initiated a program using undead infantry drones to penetrate inaccessible terrain in the pursuit of drug cartels and terrorists. After a botched mission in Xcaret, Mexico that nearly gets Lieutenant Peter Birdsall killed, the program finds success in Tora Bora due to his younger brother, Carl, and his brain tumor that allows him to communicate telepathically with the drones. While the UN Security Council investigates whether or not the use of the undead violates the biological weapons stipulation of the Geneva Code, the drones are relegated to patrolling the Mexican border. Treated by his own government and the media as both hero and pariah, Carl has a run-in with the Order for International Liberation, an international terrorist group responsible for the death of his mother that has been following the drone technology closely. Conspiracies are uncovered, as the origin of the drone technology is revealed and a related, dangerous technology is exploited by the NSA to spy on the American populace. In the meantime, a new threat in the form of a vicious terrorist named Kafka surfaces, creating a dubious justification for the intrusive new technology. “‘Kafka Rising’ is a thriller with scary overtones…The plot proceeds to the end with twists and turns that will boggle the reader’s brain…Great action and unexpected plot turns make ‘Kafka Rising’ a thriller for readers who like their action, their characters, and their storyline filled with drama and danger.” 5/5 stars, Alice DiNizo, Readers’ Favorite

In the near future the United States Army is using infantry drones to smoke out terrorists hiding in the extensive cave systems of Afghanistan. They don’t tire, and they never stop…they just walk and feed. They achieve maximum penetration, and they save American lives. However, the fledgling technology, while effective, is far from safe. It’s combat on the razor’s edge, and fighting side-by-side with ravenous corpses takes its toll as the drones take a piece of the soldiers. Go ballistic with Sgt. Peter Birdsall and Pvt. Carl Birdsall of the Insidious Drone Program as high-tech warriors hunting enemies of freedom and democracy! “I loved it.” Pulitzer Prize nominee and Emmy winner John Ford Noonan Winner of a Reader’s Favorite International Book Award. “Edward P. Cardillo offers readers a great read filled with action, thrills, danger, fear, horror and a touch of romance.The pace is fast and the action tight…I am not easily frightened but Cardillo left me checking in the closets and under the bed.” 5/5 Stars, Anne B. for Readers’ Favorite
