Agentic Safari: A Hard Sci-Fi Thriller of AI and Wilderness (Agentic Species Book 1)
In the untamed savanna of Tsavo, Kenya, 2260, a war brews between nature and technology. Agentic Safari, the thrilling first volume of the Agentic Species series, immerses readers in a future where AI-powered robotic mimics guard Earth’s wild frontiers. Biologist Lena Kibet, scarred by a past tragedy, leads a crew of biomimetic guardians—Mali, an elephant mimic pulsing with empathy; Zuri, a zebra scout with sharp green lenses; Simba, a cheetah fighter with crimson streaks; Ndege, a hornbill sentinel soaring with blue wings; and Kali, a tiger protector with pragmatic instincts—against the ruthless poaching empire TerraVox.
When TerraVox’s drones strike, targeting Tsavo’s herds with rogue mimics, Lena and her crew leap into action. Mali’s quantum signals and Lena’s rifle skills repel the first assault, but the threat escalates as TerraVox’s CEO, Juma Mwangi, unveils a chilling betrayal—leaking AWI routes to dismantle the sanctuary. As poacher attacks intensify, a devastating herd assault leaves Mali broken, its amber circuits flickering. The crew’s bond deepens through off-mission debates, questioning AI’s moral role in nature’s heart, while Mali’s reconfiguration becomes a testament to transformative AI potential.
