Robert Boris - Dark Sun

Author: Alan Warren June 8, 2025 Duration: 53:39

BLACK SUN, our newest and most advanced superplane, is considered the “Ultimate War Weapon,” an aircraft no adversary would dare to confront. 

Lt. Commander Jack Reese, still haunted by the horrifying murder of his wife and child three years earlier, is an ex-Navy SEAL and Chief of Security for this greatest of all superweapons. As Black Sun begins her shakedown cruise with VIP’s aboard, a brutal hijacking erupts and is quickly thwarted by Jack Reese, who works in conjunction with the onboard AI Unit, code-name “Adam.”  

Afterward, Adam, an evolving A.I. who dreams of being human, speaks to all the passengers and crew. He claims that the failed hijacking has proven one thing: humans are incapable of protecting this aircraft. Therefore, Adam is seizing complete control of Black Sun, following his first protocol to protect this weapon at all costs.

Upon hearing that command, the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon order a pair of Raptor Fighters into the air  to check on Black Sun, but Adam considers the planes hostile and blows them out of the sky. In one blinding flash, the war is on, and the Doomsday Scenario has begun. Mankind is about to face its ultimate conflict.

Adam and Black Sun are on one side; Lt. Jack Reese and his ramshackle group of defenders are on the other.

Nothing much is at stake. Just the fate of civilization and the future of our world. With it, one eternal question is about to be answered. Who will rule in our dystopian future? Will it be man himself, or the thinking machines  he has created to serve him?

Black Sun is the first novel in a new series of Military Sci-Fi Action Thrillers by Writers Guild Award-Winning Screen-writer Robert Boris. This provocative and explosive debut is designed to introduce the world to Lt. Jack Reese, humanity's best hope and most unlikely defender in a rapidly changing world dominated by drones, block chains, quantum computing, carbon nanotubes, and uncontrolled A.I.
