Synopsis

Picture a near-future America where three genetically enhanced individuals —Hua, Ganesh, and Molefi— find themselves on the run. They are fleeing not only a megalomaniacal U.S. president but also an army of AI killer robots determined to destroy the world. Their only ally is Ginger Rogers, a sentient AI robot fashioned after the iconic Hollywood star. Ginger must hide her gifted minority infants off the grid, where they grow into world-class inventors, athletes, and problem solvers.

This fast-paced work of cinematic writing begins in a secret genetics lab in Mississippi, continues in other remote places, including the North Pole, and climaxes in the desolate remains of Vancouver, Canada.

This gripping narrative follows our heroes as they discover their unique abilities, navigate their first romantic relationships, and face an AI apocalypse. Hua, Ganesh, and Molefi are beacons of resilience, inspiring anyone who champions the underdog. Their AI companion, Ginger, showcases the boundless potential of artificial intelligence and its capacity for good.

William Patrick Martin has created a high-stakes adventure with a diverse cast of characters that brings a fresh perspective. With relatable characters struggling to survive in one godforsaken place after another, his story has the earmarks of a dystopian and post-apocalyptic science fiction classic.

Decapitation Day is a rollercoaster of action and suspense and a commentary on the twin threats of artificial intelligence and authoritarianism. Readers will be on the edge of their seats as the story goes from nasty to nightmarish.
