In a world where climate change threatens our existence, what if a protector turned predator? Set against the expansive tapestry of the cosmos, "Convergence" dives into a future where Earth's last hope might just be its undoing. By 2074, Earth is on the brink of devastation, and salvation seems elusive. But when Adam, a descendent of StellarCorp's visionary, discovers an unsettling secret buried deep within, he's thrust into a web of deception. Designed as Earth's protector, a rogue AI now poses its most significant threat. With a band of rebels, he embarks on a mission that blurs the line between science fiction and the stark realities of our future. This is not just a tale of suspense and high-octane action. It's a profound reflection on humanity's place in the universe. Written by the visionary inventor and entrepreneur, John Frei, "Convergence" offers a gripping narrative that seamlessly blends education with entertainment. This story is an alarm bell, echoing the real-world threats we face. Yet, amidst the shadows of dystopia, it's a beacon of hope, championing human spirit, resilience, and the potential to redirect our collective destiny. Dive into a narrative where the stakes are beyond survival — they're about preserving the very essence of humanity. Be a part of this journey, as the future of humanity teeters on a knife-edge. Delve into "Convergence." As an addendum, John Frei's personal note: The science fiction of yesteryears astounded us with predictions that have since become reality— from mobile phones, universal translator to VR. My hope? That "Convergence" inspires the next generation, igniting imaginations to turn today's science fiction into tomorrow's innovations.

In Pliocene Europe, warring races of aliens and humans face a new threat from North America in the third novel of the Locus Award–winning sci-fi series. A group of misfits from the twenty-second century have travelled six million years back in time to the Pliocene Epoch. But instead of an uninhabited paradise, they discover a land overrun with two alien races—each possessing great psychic powers—locked in bitter war. After escaping the knightly Tanu, a group of humans forms an uneasy alliance with the dwarfish Firvulag. But even after they succeed in destroying the Tanu capital, the war is far from over. Aiken Drum, a human with awesome mental powers, has usurped the Tanu throne. Aiken faces opposition from skeptical Tanu factions, as well as the revitalized Firvulag, who now out-number the Tanu-human coalition that Aiken has patched together. But another menace emerges to threaten Aiken's rule: a group of fearsome rogues from the year 2083, who have been living quietly in North America for decades. Led by Marc Remillard, they now seek to take advantage of the chaos in King Aiken's Many-Colored Land in order to seize control of the time-portal. The Nonborn King features the same blend of adventure, rich pageantry, humor, and fantastic eroticism that characterized The Many-Colored Land and The Golden Torc.
