Her decisions are final, her justice swift, her tolerance of those who would risk the fragile peace is zero.
RIGA,AI is a new kind of heroine set in a future where AIs and humans live alongside each other in a fragile peace. RIGA is a non-human but there is much about her that is unknown, even to her. Her unique composition means RIGA is often ‘the hunted’ in an increasingly dangerous universe where humans, transhumans and artificial intelligence struggle to survive together.
RIGA’s unique skills make her extremely valuable to the Emporium’s secret service, the ESSG. Trained as a Diplomat, Assassin and Spy, means she has to rely on her unique abilities to keep her one step ahead of her enemies. But, the enemy has plans and RIGA is in their way.
From the Author:
RIGA represents the culmination of human and artificial evolution. She doesn't feel, yet understands the range of human emotion. She looks human, but has 'evolved science' running her body. Her speed and reactions are faster than a humans' and her thinking ability is that of a mentat. Yet nobody knows where she came from, not even her makers, who would dearly love to understand the science that made her, so much so that RIGA is chased across the universe in an attempt to steal back the technology and replicate it.

The Emporium is a fragile peace at best. The longevity of AI 's and the emotive illogical reasoning of humanity keeps the cauldron bubbling. The only thing that keeps the lid on it is the rigid line of the mutual PACT that both humans and AI's observe.
Without it the Emporium would fail and the mass of humanity would fear artificial life again with its usual groundless base. There would be distrust, reprisals, and this time the AI's would not hold back.
Already, there is turbulence, the cause? nobody is sure, but there are interests within the Councils and among the AI's themselves who seek to bring about the nightmare scenario. As mad as it seems the only thing between them and a new Apocalypse is RIGA.
Book Excerpt
RIGA,AI: ARTIS PRIME
At the heart of the problem lay the humans’ innate fear that they could not remain free in a world where independent artificial intelligence prevailed, so naturally attempted to eradicate them. AI's just wanted to live; they would happily accept any terms with humans that allowed both to coexist in peace. Each believed the other was the cause of their troubles, although none, not even the AI's, could remember what sparked the war. In fact, the real enemy turned out to be transhumans, who, having converted their biological intelligence into massive computing power, had used their expanded abilities to attack both AI's and humans. The transhumans had exerted control over them, effectively managing the war.
