Description:
The future should have been perfect. Microscopic robots known as nans could repair any damage to your body, keep you young by resetting your cellular clocks, and allow you to download upgrades like intelligence, muscle strength, and eyesight. You were supposed to be able to have anything you wanted with a simple thought, to be able to fly without the aid of a machine, to be able to live forever. But when a small group of five terraformers working on Venus return to Earth, they discover that every other human in the solar system has been gruesomely murdered. Now, James Keats and his four companions must discover what happened to the rest of humanity and fight back if they wish to avoid the same, horrifying fate. Welcome to the post-human era.

Description:
In this sequel to Post-Human, humanity will be forced to face a future more advanced than it could have imagined if it wants to survive. Nineteen months have passed since the AI turned against humanity and was subsequently destroyed. In the meantime, James Keats has turned over the AI's powers to a non-intelligent, easily controlled operating system. He and Thel have left the planet and spent six months vacationing on Venus, which has been newly terraformed without the consent or knowledge of the Governing Council. The AI has been deleted, but the message it sent out into the abyss of space in search of a companion has been answered. An alien force dwarfing the Earth is on its way to find out why the AI has stopped communicating. Keats and company can only assume its intentions will be hostile when it finds out the truth. Only one thing is for sure: nothing will ever be the same again. Welcome to the Trans-Human era. Welcome to the singularity.

Hi David, I very much appreciate being included among your friends here on Goodreads. Wishing you all the best. Seems as if you're already doing quite well with your novels; congratulations. Hope you won't mind my asking you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man for your reading list. It's fiction but is inspired by events from my life. Namaste, jesse
Hi TeeThanks for the recommendation, where can I find this group? Could you send me a link where to go :D
Thanks again.

Hi, there! Thanks for the friend request! I already signed up on Facebook, and got your wife's message. However, I would prefer a hard copy of the book, if you have any. If not, I'll take the e-book. I can always buy a hard copy later on. You see, I much prefer REAL books to the electronic kind. So I do hope you're giving away hard copies of your book. How about posting it on the giveaway section of Goodreads?
I LOVE SCIENCE FICTION!!!!
