The next Council of AIs novel, ‘Bodies of Stone and Water’, will be released November 1 and is available now for pre-order.
‘This mind is a disposable placeholder. We’ll delete it and install something useful in the body when alpha testing is complete.’
Ninety-five-year-old Carol Weaver is taken to New Zealand by her husband to undertake an experimental rejuvenation procedure. Billionaire Nick Laird is generously offering free travel to his advanced cybernetic and space exploration command centre for anyone who wishes to be young again.
When Carol wakes after the procedure, she discovers that she is an uploaded mind in an android body – and the real Carol is dead. She’s now a piece of equipment, owned by Laird, that looks exactly like Laird’s ex-girlfriend, Ruth Sharpe.
Carol must find a way to escape Laird’s control and stop him from capturing Ruth, uploading her mind into Carol’s body – and killing her.
The first book, ‘Minds of Sand and Light’ will be free (outside Australia) on most digital platforms and 99c on all the others for the whole month of November.
Kylie Chan is the best-selling author of the Dark Heavens series of epic fantasy books and the Dragon Empire science fiction series.
In the ten-book Dark Heavens series, Emma Donahoe is an ordinary Australian woman thrown into the world of Chinese Gods, martial arts, and magic. Emma must deal with a bewildering variety of Chinese mythological creatures from dragons to the Monkey King as she learns martial arts from her employer John Chen, who is really the God of Martial Arts, Xuan Wu.
Dragon Empire and Council of AIs are Kylie’s Science Fiction series. Dragon Empire explores a future universe where Earth is dying and humanity receives an offer of help from a powerful intergalactic dynasty – but at a price. Council of AIs is about a rambunctious group of artificial intelligences who want to destroy humanity – when they stop bickering amongst themselves.
A new Dark Heavens novel, ‘The Serpent Princess‘ was released at the end of January 2025.
Kylie regularly posts updates on her Facebook and Instagram accounts, and has a Patreon where subscribers receive out-takes and additional content.
