One brother. One stolen ship. One unwanted passenger: an AI.

Awakening: Black Sky Club 1

When the line between human and machine fades…

Orson Anders is going nowhere fast, just like everyone else in the Southern California sector. His dreams of leaving Earth and traveling through space are just that: dreams that will never be a reality.

But when a chance encounter with a fleeing fugitive lands Orson’s sister in jail and the world’s most advanced AI inside his head, Orson has no choice but to make a deal with the devil to rescue his sister from a fate worse than death.

Commandeering a spaceship and heading to the lunar colonies, Orson must fight betrayals at every turn, an increasingly controlling AI, and uncertainty about all he’s ever known. And if he wins, all he might earn is another day on the run.

An exciting cyberpunk thriller that questions what it is that makes us human, Awakening is the ultimate science fiction thrill ride from established authors Skyler Ramirez (author of Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes) and Stephen Gay (author of Night Owls). You’ll be on the edge of your seat with Orson and his friends the entire time.

Origin: A Black Sky Club Story

In a future where megacorporations rule, survival isn’t just about staying alive—it’s about staying human.

Orson Anders dreams of escaping Earth for a life among the stars. But when a mysterious man crashes into his life during a night out, he’s thrust into a conspiracy that could upend the balance of power in the solar system.

Now in possession of Dahlia—an advanced AI with an uncertain purpose—Orson is on the run. His sister, Maggie, has been captured by ruthless security forces, and every move he makes tightens the noose around them both. As he unravels the truth behind Dahlia’s origins, he begins to question whether this artificial mind is his greatest ally—or a ticking time bomb that could doom them all.

With time running out and shadowy corporate forces closing in, Orson must decide: how far will he go to save his sister? And what price is humanity willing to pay for its freedom?
