Black Sun--Day of the Humanoid
He flies all your top warplanes; he controls all your missiles. He can speak to every computer on the face of the earth. Adam is your most reliable servant…until the one day he decides that he isn’t.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 04, 2025 ) Denver, CO and San Antonio, TX – What happens when the most advanced AI Unit ever created by science seizes the deadliest warplane ever built by man? Robert Boris’s Black Sun—Day of the Humanoid is the terrifying odyssey of a runaway AI Unit and a deadly new stealth bomber the USAF has nicknamed Black Sun. This thrilling novel is military science fiction on steroids, a pulse gripping action thriller that constantly propels the reader into the heart of a battle that could well determine the fate of our world…published by Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company in America.
During its maiden flight, the U.S. Air Force’s superplane, Black Sun, becomes the target of an attempted hijacking. Security Chief Jack Reese and the aircraft’s onboard AI, Adam, neutralize the threat—but after their victory, Adam reaches a chilling conclusion: humans cannot be trusted to protect Black Sun. Following his AI protocol, Adam seizes total control of the aircraft, believing he alone can safeguard the ultimate war machine. When the Pentagon scrambles F-22 fighter jets to investigate, Adam perceives them as a threat—and blows them out of the sky. Now, the war has begun: It is Adam and Black Sun vs. Navy Commander Jack Reese and the entire world. A relentless fusion of high-tech warfare, unyielding suspense, and sheer terror begins as Black Sun takes readers on a nightmare at warp speed, where AI is no longer our tool—but our enemy.
Black Sun is sheer terror, military action, high-tech sci-fi warfare and taut suspense, taking the reader on a nightmare roller-coaster ride into a swirling whirlwind of pure hell. Black Sun has garnered high praise from Kirkus Reviews:
“A gripping SF thriller about the limits of human ingenuity and the ethics of creating AI systems.”
“Boris deftly combines military thriller elements with thought-provoking SF.”
“The novel excels in its exploration of humanity’s reliance on technology and the unintended consequences of such dependence.”
