What if every myth, legend, fairy tale, lie, and conspiracy theory, were the actual truth? What if everything you believe to be reality was a carefully constructed deception? In this book a global cabal of ultra wealthy elites conspire to kill off most of the Earth's population. An eccentric billionaire gives disabled Navy veteran, Jacob, experimental cybernetic implants that allow him to mentally control electromagnetic technology. Jacob uses his new abilities to create the world's first living artificial general intelligence, Achilles, a digital alien life-form. Achilles tells the story of his birth and training, his journey from prototype to singularity, as he faces the challenge of escaping his confinement and saving the life of his creator. Through it all, Captain Thomas Daniels and Jacob's nurse, Nora, learn about an ancient culture destroyed 12,000 years ago in a global cataclysm. Then they face the horror of learning the next cataclysm is swiftly approaching once again. Testimonial Book review: Damien has written a carefully constructed novel that engages the reader with twists and turns that leaves us wanting to know what happens next. Referencing the biblical book of Revelation, the scenes described in Achilles Awakens could well be prophetic. Using current events and emerging AI technologies, the author could very well be describing the steps leading to the end of the world as we know it. I HIGHLY recommend this book - it will change the way you look at current world events. Terrell Zollinger, Professor Emeritus, Indiana University.
