About this ebook

To save humanity, she must become the machine.

Lizzie's squadron of elite starfighter pilots is the only thing standing between Earth and annihilation. But to stop the alien invasion, she must fight at near-light speeds, merging her mind with her starfighter's AI. With every new battle, she loses another piece of her humanity, and the world that she's fighting for slips further into the past.

This story was originally published in issue 12 (August 2019) of Serial Magazine.

Excellent short story and an impressive insight in the human-AI merging potential future. More humanity than tech in it by far and heartwarming in that regard. Many thanks to the Author, will certainly buy some of his books in the future :)

Joe's short stories are on another level. I read a lot during my time in the army but his stories seem to resonate with me more than any other.
