<p> <strong> The Big Picture </strong> </p> <p> The nature of evolution is to move slowly. </p> <p> Until it doesn't. </p> <p> If humanity approached an evolutionary crisis… </p> <p> Would we know it? </p> <p> Bendik is a once-in-a-millennia genius. He does. He recognizes quantum computing will be the catalyst. More, he knows there are only three potential outcomes for homo-sapiens: evolution, enslavement, or destruction. </p> <p> Bendik's plan: trigger rapid human evolution, make rogue Quantum Intellect catastrophes impossible, and change the nature of human civilization forever. </p> <p> <strong> What's happened so far in Book 1 - </strong> link to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Imagineers-Bloodline-Ascendant-Earth-Chronicles-ebook/dp/B09CVY54QK"> <strong> first book </strong> </a> </p> <p> Bendik perfected the world's first Quantum-core processor, decades before anyone else. However, his plan to trigger human evolution is complicated and it only now nears completion. </p> <p> At the same time, Ronanld Linkletter, a brutally self-serving competitor closes in on his own Quantum breakthrough. </p> <p> Bendik's catalyst, a globe spanning marvel of engineering nears completion. For his plan to work, he needs to train millions of people without tipping off the powers that be. </p> <p> His son Austin has the solution: an immersive game world indistinguishable from the real world, where playing can heal trauma, activate advanced, dormant DNA, and unwittingly train Bendik's millions. </p> <p> Planet Kuora is born and under the care of Elle, Austin's homo-empathic QI, it flourishes. </p> <p> After creating wholly unique avatars, endowed with Equilibrium powers, Austin's team and a second team led by Oliver Ward, a retired special forces operative, have entered Kuora. </p> <p> They are enthralled by Kuora, discover its history of power and betrayal, are set on quests to discover why the Pergothian Empire fell, and discover a hidden attribute system that grants extraordinary powers but can only be revealed through self-discovery. Book one leaves Austin's team poised on the brink of entering an ancient Breal Bloudran ruin. </p> <p> On Earth, Bendik hits a roadblock and needs help, but he can't risk exposing his project. His solution? Disguise advanced polymeric molecular math as the backdrop for his node tower construction ads. At the site in Medellín, Colombia he hits pay dirt. We meet Gideon Suarez. </p> <p> Gideon welcomes Bendik to the Imagineers. He has lived many lives, and he has been waiting for Bendik. </p> <p> Chapters posted here are the 2nd & 3rd Books in the Ascendant Earth Chronicles. They predominantly feature Erramir/Austin's adventures in Kuora, althougth there are real world chapters. </p> <p> The first book, which includes many more hard sci-fi elements, can be found <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Imagineers-Bloodline-Ascendant-Earth-Chronicles-ebook/dp/B09CVY54QK"> here. </a> </p>
