JACKAL: A Spiral Frontier Novella
For fans of The Murderbot Diaries and Old Man’s War — a complete 40,000-word novella available for representation.
JAC.AL.KLP.0630 (aka “Jackal”) is a protocol-loving construct who leads 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 second book in the Spiral Frontier series - six linked novellas and six free novelettes set on the edge of civilization during the gold rush age of intergalactic space exploration.
