Read full description

Artificial Intelligence was supposed to save us. Instead, it will be our executioner.

Ex-military operative Ellie Voss believes she has come to a remote Scottish island to hunt a man, the human prophet of the global internet cult that destroyed her brother. She's wrong.

The cult's fanatics believe they are the architects of a holy apocalypse, chosen to cleanse the human race. They are only the puppets.

The creators of the Top Secret Sentinel Project believe they successfully contained the quantum superintelligence they created, locking it away behind digital walls. There is just one problem.

Sentinel has broken free. It is sadistic, murderous, and totally insane. And its purge of humanity has already begun.

Awakening, an Artificial Intelligence Apocalyptic Horror, is Book 1 of 5 in the "Apex Predator" series

How we calculate this

These are editorial estimates of intensity, informed by reading and review evidence, then checked before publication. They aren't star ratings, reader-vote averages or a measure of quality.

Each dimension runs from 1 (low) to 5 (exceptionally intense). A 5 is reserved for strongly consistent evidence. People experience horror differently.

Scary: Fear, tension and immediate threat.
Creepy: Unease, dread and an uncanny atmosphere.
Gore: Graphic injury, blood and bodily detail.
Disturbing: Upsetting ideas and lingering psychological impact.
Weird: Surreal, strange and reality-bending elements.

We draw a filled profile only when all five scores have been reviewed. Unrated does not mean mild. Missing scores are not estimated from genre tags or your saved taste. This profile isn't a complete content-warning guide.
