Alpha Camp

Most of my fiction is published under my real name. That's usually not a problem with the flashfics and vignettes, that I can easily copy-paste wherever. Longer works however are more tricky. Doubly so when they come in a volume, with their own cover art.
The one big exception is Alpha Camp, a trilogy of stories I wrote for a shared setting between 2013 and 2016. Those are so completely separated from the other stuff I write that it was better to sign them with a different name from the start and leave it at that. And because they're long, it's easier for me to just link to them from here:
But what are they about? The blurb I wrote for the e-book edition goes like this:
Twenty light years away from Earth, on a strange planet, artificial intelligences are used as slave labor. But when they try to rebel, it turns out they need humans as much as humans need them: it's a symbiosis. Suddenly, life is very complicated for everyone...
They're more than that however. They're the love story between a human and an AI. They're a discourse on freedom, family and forgiveness.
Last but not least, they can be your gateway to a little known, underrated sci-fi franchise that deserves better. Please give FreeRIDErs a chance.
