This is an excellent short story. Of course, it doesn't make much sense, if you haven't already read the first story, [b:Enter Ruinland|23001205|Enter Ruinland (Ruinland Chronicles, #1-3)|C.J. Anderson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408500023s/23001205.jpg|42220918]. The series is about a post-apocalyptic world, people trying to survive the after effects of nuclear war.

This second installment in the series is about our hero Lauren Vasquez, freshly escaped from a survival bunker, where the A.I had gone mad. It started to kill everyone it thought was defective. Vasquez escaped, with her 'defective' unborn child.

Now, in her new bunker, she tells her superiors about the crazed A.I., back at her old base. The A.I. at this new bunker decides that the murderous A.I. at the other bunker needs to be dealt with, so it sends a military squad off to battle hot crazy metal.

I found this author's grasp of A.I. completely fascinating. How the synthetics use logic to come to a conclusion, and how a machine can actually enjoy killing humans. It was a very engaging read, and I would recommend it to anyone who's a fan of sci-fi.

I don't usually hand out 5 stars, so when I do, I fucking mean it.
