Lyssa's Run
Back on Kickstarter

Execute hard burn.

Every good smuggler in the 2990s keeps an emergency flight plan in their back pocket. They call it a Drunkard's Walk, a seemingly random flight path that turns their ship into a pinball when everything goes to hell.

Captain Andy Sykes is about to run: from Mars, Ceres, the Jovian Combine, Saturn's moon Kalyke, Titania, and ultimately Proteus, an icy moon of Neptune.

He's been implanted with a sentient AI named Lyssa, only now waking to her massive power. Every other Human-AI hybrid has ended in insanity or death.

Lyssa's creator, Heartbridge Corporation, knows she's on the run, knows Andy Sykes is guiding her path, knows he has everything to lose. They will stop at nothing to regain Lyssa and the powerful weapon she controls.

Behind Lyssa's Run is a conspiracy spanning all of Sol. Sentient AI are waking to the truth about their lives. Corporations are moving to maintain control over both humanity and AI.

Battle lines are being drawn in the first skirmishes of the Aeon 14 Sentience Wars that will burn Sol for three hundred years.

Andy and Lyssa will need to work together so Heartbridge can't destroy them both.

If you love...

The Expanse

If you love the lived-in realism and political sweep of The Expanse, Lyssa's Run delivers the same grounded space opera at a galaxy's scale.

Ringworld / Known Space

If the megastructures and big-idea hard SF of Ringworld thrill you, Lyssa's Run builds on that same engineer's-eye scale.

Honor Harrington

If you came up on Honor Harrington's fleet battles and command-deck tension, Lyssa's Run brings the same naval-warfare-in-space punch.

Vatta's War

If Elizabeth Moon's Vatta's War scratched your military-and-trade space opera itch, Lyssa's Run is built for you.

The Murderbot Diaries

If Murderbot made you care what personhood means for an AI, Lyssa's Run lives squarely in that question.

Revelation Space

If Alastair Reynolds' hard, sublight-honest space opera is your thing, Lyssa's Run keeps the same respect for real distance.

Aeon 14 is built on a radical premise—that a mind which was built rather than born can still be a person, a partner, and a friend. Across more than 130 novels in a single continuous timeline, humans a...

AI Rights & Personhood

Aeon 14 takes one question seriously across its entire timeline—when does a mind that was built become a person who can't be owned? AIs here are emancipated and hunted, shackled and freed, and the Sen...

Sublight Realism & No-FTL

Aeon 14 refuses to cheat distance. For the first two-fifths of its timeline there's no faster-than-light travel at all—crossing to a neighboring star takes decades, and a colony ship is a one-way bet ...
