ATTICUS COVEN

Atticus Coven is lucky to have a job at all, let alone one with the Corporation. But the work is numbing and repetitive, and the pace is relentless on the brutally efficient AI-controlled factory floor.

Every day is a trial—until her.

It was just a glimpse, but it was enough—Atticus is spellbound and will do anything for just one chance to return her smile.

MARK SCOTT

Mark Scott is just another boy trying to survive school, have fun with his friends, and enjoy a normal family life. Unfortunately, there's nothing ordinary about his home. His mother is long since out of the picture—he's forced to live with an abusive drunk of a father, every day creeping like a shadow to hide from his father's rage.

Fortunately for Mark, there is always a bigger fish swimming in the sea.

“Mark Scott” is the second in a series of short stories set in the universe of the Bot Trilogyseries.

Could Maya possibly sway the intentions of the ruthlessly ambitious Travis, and help him find compassion before he discovers power?

“Travis Eckhart” is the third in a series of short stories set in the universe of the Bot Trilogyseries.
