Publisher's Synopsis
Note: A newer version of this novel is available: "NullBots". NullBots is retitled with minor changes and corrections to the story. The wildest fantasy of the mind paled before the magical advance of late twenty-first century science for all but teenage Hailey Sharpe who sees wave drives and colony planets as dull compared to the thrills of Manga. When her father accepts a job, Hailey's world shrinks to one bag and a hurried flight to the orbital Skyport. Job relocation transforms to desperate flight aboard an incredible starship to a beautiful world of strange new friends, amazing technology and fearsome dinosaurs. The wonders of Cretaceous Station aren't enough. Hailey desperately needs to experience a live tyrannosaur first hand and so presses young Gabriel into sneaking her off-station into the jungle where she gets her wish and much more when they encounter an ancient AI controlled installation. Challenged as never before, Hailey discovers she is uniquely able to manipulate this world thanks to her affinity with her newly implanted 'Hive Tab' augment and she enters a universe of time travel, robot societies, human augmentation, self-replicating swarm robotics, tachyon synaptic networks, drones of pure gravitic energy and multi-dimensional forces clashing in an ancient struggle that threatens more than the world of the dinosaur. A struggle in which reluctant Hailey Sharpe finds herself a pivotal player. Hailey Sharpe and the NullBot Swarm - Book III of the 'Crucible Series'
