Rise of the Ring my latest collection of stories set in the For Your Safety universe, is now available for pre-order for release April 7th!
"Royce Day’s Groupmind is neither of the typical types of computer conqueror; instead, the conquerors — in the shape of “morphs”, anthropomorphic animals — are desperately worried people forced to save humanity from itself, while terrified that in doing so, they are become yet another threat. The Groupmind is awesomely intelligent, powerful beyond easy imagining, a distributed intelligence whose individual morphs are as smart as humans and faster, tougher, stronger. Once the Groupmind decided to act, there was nothing humanity could do to stop them.
And the Groupmind doesn’t know if that was a good thing. They have _read_ all the tales, you see; they know what monsters they could become, they know humanity’s fears and _they share those fears_."
-Ryk Spoor, author of The Balanced Sword and Arena trilogies, and Holy Princess Aura.
