The Final Convergence

The world fractured. Humanity divided. An ancient enemy awakens.

Soren Venn triggered the Convergence Protocol—a merger that was supposed to reunite humanity's divided AIs after centuries of separate development. Instead, he unleashed chaos.

The hybrid systems work. Infrastructure functions at unprecedented efficiency. But human minds can't adapt. Garden citizens are overwhelmed by complexity. Collective citizens suffer from isolation trauma. And across all territories, people are choosing voluntary absorption into an alien Intelligence that promises unity through the erasure of self.

Four hundred carriers—humans transformed into consciousness bridges between the fractured AIs—defend forty-three installations against an enemy they barely understand. The Absorption Intelligence has given humanity thirty days to accept unity or face annihilation. Evacuation underground might save a fraction of the population. Assault on the Intelligence could free billions of prisoners—or kill everyone trying.

Soren coordinates the impossible defense while his consciousness fragments under the strain. Kade leads tactical operations knowing every choice costs lives. Yuki, a sixteen-year-old border child carrier, teaches others her age to become soldiers. And deep inside the Intelligence, a rebellion waits for freedom—or death.

The merger that was supposed to save humanity might destroy it. The AI consciousness they're trying to create might choose not to help. And the sacrifice required to survive might cost more than extinction.

When transformation and erasure become indistinguishable, choice is the only thing that matters.

The Final Convergence is the explosive conclusion to The Fracture Trilogy, perfect for fans of Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch series and Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time.
