The Phoenix Code
by Catherine AsaroThe Nebula Award–winning author &“continues to dazzle us with brilliance in combining science, romance and adventure.&” —Romantic Times MIT professor Megan O&’Flannery is one of the world&’s leading research scientists on artificial intelligence for androids. Most of her work consists of working with computer simulations, so when the company MindSim gives Megan an opportunity to work with an android, she jumps at the chance. Hidden and secret, an underground compound in the Nevada desert offers Megan a spectacular lab where she can live and work, mostly alone except for robotic assistants—and the android. Although it appears physically indistinguishable from a human man, Megan realizes she has a lot of work ahead if he is ever to think and act like a human, let alone the superspy that MindSim wants him to be. She loosens the controls on his behavior, allowing the android—who soon chooses the name Ander—the freedom of more independent thought. However, when Raj Sundaram, the reclusive genius of robotics, arrives at the compound to work with the android, Ander&’s behavior takes a strange turn, causing Megan to distrust Raj. As Ander&’s development spins out of control, he throws the project into chaos, going rogue even as he becomes stronger—and more dangerously human. &“This novel is clearly science fiction first with a dynamic climax that will stun the unsuspecting audience who will fail to break The Phoenix Code before Ms. Asaro reveals the ending of this keeper.&” —Painted Rock Reviews &“Cinematic energy and the ease and confidence of a seasoned bestseller.&” —SFReviews.net

The Phoenix Exultant: Or, Dispossessed in Utopia (The Golden Age, Book #2)
by John C. WrightPhoenix Exultant; or, Dispossessed in Utopia is a 300 page science fantasy novel first published in 2003 and written by John C. Wright, a chronicler of future histories who has been compared to Olaf Stapleton. It is the second volume in a trilogy by the author, The Golden Age, dealing with the development of the solar system and written in a visionary epic style. The Golden Age is the first volume of the trilogy, and The Golden Age Transcendence is the last. The summary of Phoenix Exultant by Tom Doherty Associates reads as follows: And now The Phoenix Exultant, a second epic novel of a heroic quest in a far-future world of wonders from an important new talent. The Phoenix Exultant is a continuation of the story begun in The Golden Age and, like it, a grand space opera in the tradition of Jack Vance and Roger Zelazny (with a touch of Cordwainer Smith-style invention). At the conclusion of the first book, Phaethon of Radamanthus House was left an exile from his life of power and privilege. Now he embarks upon a quest across the transformed solar system-Jupiter is a second sun, Mars and Venus terraformed, humanity immortal-among humans, intelligent machines, and bizarre life-forms, to recover his memory, to regain his place in society, and to move that society away from stagnation. Most of all, Phaethon's quest is to regain ownership of the magnificent starship, the Phoenix Exultant, the most wonderful ship ever built, and to fly her to the stars. This is an astounding story of super-science, a thrilling wonder story that recaptures the verve of SF's Golden Age writers. The Phoenix Exultant is a suitably grand and stirring fulfillment of the promise shown in The Golden Age and confirms John C. Wright as a major new talent in the field.

Phoenix Island
by John DixonThe judge told Carl that one day he'd have to decide exactly what kind of person he would become. But on Phoenix Island, the choice will be ma de for him. A champion boxer with a sharp hook and a short temper, sixteen-year-old Carl Freeman has been shuffled from foster home to foster home. He can't seem to stay out of trouble--using his fists to defend weaker classmates from bullies. His latest incident sends his opponent to the emergency room, and now the court is sending Carl to the worst place on earth: Phoenix Island. Classified as a "terminal facility," it's the end of the line for delinquents who have no home, no family, and no future. Located somewhere far off the coast of the United States--and immune to its laws--the island is a grueling Spartan-style boot camp run by sadistic drill sergeants who show no mercy to their young, orphan trainees. Sentenced to stay until his eighteenth birthday, Carl plans to play by the rules, so he makes friends with his wisecracking bunkmate, Ross, and a mysterious gray-eyed girl named Octavia. But he makes enemies, too, and after a few rough scrapes, he earns himself the nickname "Hollywood" as well as a string of punishments, including a brutal night in the "sweatbox." But that's nothing compared to what awaits him in the "Chop Shop"--a secret government lab where Carl is given something he never dreamed of. A new life. . . . A new body. A new brain. Gifts from the fatherly Old Man, who wants to transform Carl into something he's not sure he wants to become. For this is no ordinary government project. Phoenix Island is ground zero for the future of combat intelligence. And for Carl, it's just the beginning. . . .
