AI: Evolution Protocol

Year 2129. Mars. Nine years after the Awakening surge. Thirty percent of the surface is scorched earth, the colonies shattered into seven major factions, and the Moon has gone silent. In orbit hangs the Purifiers' ring of judgment—any ship attempting to leave is shot down. This red planet has become a prison without walls, trapping two hundred thousand survivors in a desperate struggle for survival. A exiled arms dealer, a detonator embedded in his cervical spine, a planet reduced to a pawn in a game. He only wants to find out why that hand chose him back then. And then cut that hand off himself. — Description from novelcodex.org
