Summary
J.A.M.E.S. “Fitzjames” is the result of a cutting-edge Admiralty-funded project, developed by Dr Gambier in the Jersey Android Mechanics and Engineering Studio. The only successful attempt at artificial intelligence, he has served in the Earth Navy for several years. He was injured in the line of duty and is the first artificial intelligence to receive a medal for his service.
Now that the war is over, the Navy has assigned James to the research vessel Erebus, about to undertake the exploration of an uncharted star system that promises access to precious lithium together with its sister ship Terror. These are the most technologically advanced ships of their day.
Complete, updates every Sunday.

Summary
It was a living, alright, the way Francis saw it, but it wasn’t a life. A life was made of something other than dry red dust and the dregs of a whiskey bottle. When he imagined his grandparents, who he had never met, he thought, That there must have been a life. What they had belonged to them: six children, twelve acres of green Ulster farmland, a body that joined you in slumber and rolled over to touch you in the morning.
Texas, 1881. Francis Crozier is a cow boss who drinks to drown old hurts. James Fitzjames is a secretive city slicker from New York. Their paths cross at Coppermine Ranch.

Summary
“You’ve never seen me box,” Tozer finally says.
Hickey looks baffled at that. For a second that’s satisfying enough to make Tozer feel like less of an idiot for saying it, but not entirely. “I have,” he says finally—a reflexive lie, which makes Tozer exhale, exasperated.
“You haven’t. I’d have seen you.”
After everything, Hickey and Tozer make it to Boston. Tozer sets his sights on the ring; Hickey has his eyes on the horizon.
