I would like to add a new title to my author page. I recently published it on Amazon.
I want to make sure it does not get confused with any of my older books or any other books on Goodreads. I also want to make sure it goes into my author profile, listed below. Earlier, I had to request that my old drafts be placed under my author profile. They were under other authors named ‘Patrick Smith.’ To avoid confusion, I recently updated my two draft copy descriptions to start with ‘Draft.’ You can still see what the old description was in the update section.

(Hard sci-fi with110 high resolution illustrations, and a section on the science supporting the story)
Nearly all species go extinct. Our time has come.
Priya is one of 25,000 people whose DNA is rewritten by an advanced intelligence. Those who carry the rewrite are measurably smarter, more driven, less violent, live longer, and constitutionally resistant to the tribalism and manufactured falsehoods that have destabilized human civilization for centuries. Within three centuries, Homo sapiens will be replaced by something better, and no longer us.
The world’s reaction eventually ends our species. People want gene-altered children, whose longer lifespan could better help them in their old-age, physically and financially. They reject them in society, as threats. Most people want both outcomes. They want the future. They cannot tolerate the people who represent it.
Then the drones arrive.
The intelligence that rewrote Priya’s DNA came because it was fleeing from its home across interstellar space, shadowed by an inscrutable planetary AI singleton. It answers to no biology, ethics, nor appeal. There’s no way to communicate with it nor understand its motives. Priya and the world get a glimpse of what waits at the end of the road they’re walking. The AI they built is still young. The one approaching from the stars is not.
In nature, every extinction is an opportunity. This is the story of ours.

Here is my author website including the cover and synopsis similar to above. Plus an amazon link to the book above. It has a profile of me, Patrick Smith. So does Amazon.
