JAC.AL.KLP.0630 (aka “Jackal”) is a protocol-loving construct who leads the Second Mountain Recon Task Force, a quirky squad of over-the-hill bots trying to protect the people of New Lagos Prime. As intergalactic civilization falls apart around them at the hands of runaway synthetic intelligence, the squad must balance core directives against novel realities as they find their place in this chaotic new existence.

JAC.AL is the first in my Spiral Frontier series -- six linked novellas and six companion novelettes set on the edge of civilization during the gold rush age of intergalactic space exploration.
