Betrayal: Betrayal - Paperback

In the future, AI soldierbots do most of the fighting and a dwindling number of humans still bear the burden of combat leadership. But even the most advanced military AI is no match for the timeless appetites of the military-industrial complex-Paul Owens learns that the hard way.

After surviving brutal training and augmentation, Paul Owens and Kata Vukovic prove themselves in battle and are chosen to lead an ambitious, top-secret military AI project - Ōkami soldierbots designed to forge neural links with their human leaders.

As Paul and Kata deploy their units to the lawless Southern Cone of South America, they realize their Ōkami are evolving beyond mere machines, demonstrating loyalty and valor that blur the lines between artificial and human comradeship. When a ruthless Chinese-sponsored warlord threatens to overwhelm them, these bonds are tested to their breaking point.

Behind the scenes, ambitious entrepreneur Fiona Malloy manipulates military, corporate, and family players to pursue her goal. As Paul and Kata's fight for survival reaches its climax, Fiona's ruthless pursuit of success will force unthinkable choices, determining the fate of Paul, Kata and the Ōkami.
