Dennis E. Taylor shares that distinction with several other authors and a couple of musicians, unfortunately. Which is why he uses Dennis E. Taylor. He is
a retired computer programmer, snowboarder, mountain biker, runner, and now an author. He hopes his novels will give everyone a few hours of entertainment and escape.
We Are Legion (We Are Bob)
by dennis e. taylor
Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street.
Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to get their own probes launched first, and they play dirty.
The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad - very mad.
What We are legion (we are bob) Offers
