And Shall Machines Surrender

Machine Mandate: Book 1

Benjanun Sriduangkaew

On the dyson sphere Shenzhen, artificial intelligences rule and humans live in luxury, vying to be chosen as host bodies--called haruspices--for the next generation of AI, and thus be worshiped as gods.

Doctor Orfea Leung has come here to escape her past of mercenary violence. Krissana Khongtip has come here to reinvent herself from haunted spy to holy cyborg. But the utopian peace of Shenzhen is shattered when the haruspices begin committing suicide, and the pair are called upon to solve the mystery--and survive the silent war between machines...

Now Will Machines Hollow the Beast

Machine Mandate: Book 2

Benjanun Sriduangkaew

Vishnu's Leviathan: a half-beast, half-machine warship famed for its speed and might. The great prize that armies across the galaxies will kill to possess.

Admiral Anoushka was once a ghost. Now she's the universe's most brutal commander with a debt to a godlike AI. To repay it--and to complete her long revenge--she's set her sights on the leviathan. Neither the warship's flesh horrors nor its ruthless ruler will stand in her way.

But all her plans couldn't prepare her for what waits in the belly of the beast: a foe that matches her in ferocity and thirst for vengeance... and a deep treachery that may prove her undoing.

Set in the same universe as And Shall Machines Surrender.

Shall Machines Divide the Earth

Machine Mandate: Book 3

Benjanun Sriduangkaew

On a graveyard star, machines run a deadly tournament and draw humans like moths to a flame with a priceless promise. Partner with an artificial intelligence and fight to the death. Win and receive your heart's desire...

War veteran Thannarat has sought this hidden world to realize a single goal: bringing back the dead. To fulfill this wish, she joins the game alongside a seductive AI who pledges to give her victory. The tournament is full of lethal secrets-and so is the AI that professes to be her weapon. Yet to have what she needs, Thannarat will sacrifice everything. Her home world, the woman she once loved, and herself.

All she has to do is defy the game's inescapable rule: that in the end, the only true victors are the machines...

Where Machines Redeem the Lost

Machine Mandate: Book 4

Benjanun Sriduangkaew

Recadat Kongmanee has lost everything to the machines: the woman she loved, the hero's prize she was promised, and her memories. All she has left is vengeance.

Within the Garden of Atonement, artificial intelligences offer healing and a return to innocence. Brought in as an inmate, Recadat must keep up a dangerous charade while she readies a weapon built to destroy AIsand prove that machines are not gods. But as she's pulled into games of control and obsession, she draws ever closer to forgetting her purpose.

Yet she has not been sent alone, and a hidden ally watches from the shadows to ensure that she carries out her mission... or else that she never leaves the Garden alive.

Now Will Machines Devour the Stars

Machine Mandate: Book 5

Benjanun Sriduangkaew

Admiral Anoushka rose from nothing to command an army unrivaled in all the galaxies. She did not rise alone.

War between godlike machines is breaking out, and at its center is the AI who aided Anoushka's ascent. Now payment has come calling: her closest allies are subverted, her body is twisted by poison that bends her toward madness, and her wife has been stolen.

The machines will devour the stars as they battle each other for the ultimate prize: the next step in AI evolution, the key that will give them the universe. Yet Anoushka hasn't survived this long to become collateral damage. She will fight until she no longer can... and she will take back what's hers.

Shall Machines Bite the Sun

Machine Mandate: Book 6

Benjanun Sriduangkaew

Thannarat Vutirangsee has won it all: she's saved her world, married her perfect bride, and found her peace. She is meant to live the rest of her days in a fairytale.

But the machines are not done with her yet. Her wife Daji has breached the treaty between humans and machines, and for that she will be subjected to a punishment worse than execution.

Thannarat is not a hero. She is an artifact of war, a force of devastating annihilation. All she knows is how to fight. But to save Daji, what she will need the most will not be her gun or her might at arms... it will be a confrontation with her past, her mistakes, and a proof that she is more than an engine of violence.
