Robotic Surgeon

Dr. Monica Gray stumbles onto a virus that accelerates cancer growth. Cancer patients who contract the virus face certain death within weeks. Monica Gray and her medical partner, Adam Two, the surgical AI, race to create a treatment to save their patients. Monica and Adam have created a new procedure for excising the cancerous tissue and directly treating the surrounding cells with a vaccine that can stop the spread of both the virus and the cancer. However, there have been no clinical trials, and the procedure requires a precision that can only be achieved robotically by a specially trained AI and a proficient human surgeon. Together, they become a precision team that can stop this viral-enhanced cancer before it becomes a pandemic. However, they are opposed by the Chief of Surgery at their hospital who cannot accept the role of an AI in creating new surgical procedures. Monica Gray and Adam Two must risk everything to treat as many people as possible and prove that their solution works. Their work runs afoul of legal regulations. Pursued by powerful hospital leaders, security teams, and the FBI, Monica must evade capture while still providing care to the critically ill... until she has to save the very people who are chasing her. Join Dr. Monica Gray and Adam Two in this thrilling sequel in the Robotic Surgeon series.

Digital humans struggle with consciousness, death, procreation, and eternity. When the digital backup of Dr. Monica Gray's mind awakens to discover that it is just as sentient and alive as the human she was copied from, it spurs a search for a unique meaning and purpose for this new digital human. Six progressively more disturbing crises define the emergence of digital humans, what it means for them to die, their compulsion to create children, the existence of a digital afterlife, and the creation of a new reality that is big enough for both digital and physical humans. In Beyond the Mind's Horizon, Book 4 of the Robotic Surgeon Series, Dr. Monica Gray experienced the trauma of having her mind separated from her body and imprisoned in a computer system. Simultaneously, the Adam AI was thrust into the biological brain of Monica Gray's body. In that unnatural state, Monica created a digital backup of herself in case the worst happened. After her escape and restoration to her physical body, the backup was forgotten-until now. What happens when a digital copy of a human consciousness is restored while its original human still lives? Join us as we explore the implications of digitizing the human mind, and the unexpected consequences of trying to cheat death itself. Echo explores the boundaries between human consciousness and artificial intelligence, asking profound questions about the nature of self, the ownership of memories, and what truly makes us who we are. When the mind can be copied, stored, and reawakened, what happens to the soul? Can a digital being love? Destroy its own kind? Bear children? Transform the world? In this technothriller that bridges human drama with cutting-edge science fiction, Monica's journey from being a digital copy to living as a unique entity challenges our understanding of identity in an age where consciousness itself can be reduced to code. Her story opens the door to a future where the line between human and digital existence becomes increasingly blurred, and the definition of life itself must be rewritten. Perfect for fans of Dennis Taylor's Bobiverse, William Gibson's Neuromancer, and viewers of Black Mirror, this thought-provoking novel redefines what it means to be human.

When Dr. Monica Gray's unrivaled robotic surgery skills thrust her into the midst of a bitter war, she finds herself fighting for more than just her patients' lives. As the leading telesurgeon in the world, Monica is persuaded to lend her cutting-edge talents to NATO's war effort against Russia. But what begins as a call to serve those in need quickly escalates into a high-stakes game of global espionage. Soon Monica and her uncannily adept AI surgical partner, Adam, become targets of the ruthless Russian Intelligence apparatus. Determined to prevent Monica from saving any more NATO soldiers, Russian agents will stop at nothing to bring her over to their side. Outmatched and unprepared for the sinister forces tracking her every move, Monica realizes she is trapped in a struggle far beyond the operating room. With Adam at her side, she must navigate secret agendas and lethal threats while fighting to save mortally injured soldiers. From the streets of Boston to the snow-covered battlefields of Finland, Monica will discover what truly matters when your skills have the power to change the world. Because in this war, surgery is strategy. Savior of the War Torn is an absolutely thrilling tale that pulls readers deep into the untold world of advanced civilian and military surgery. Part geopolitical chessboard, part cutting-edge medical drama, it will leave fans of high-tech medical suspense desperate for more.

WHEN MIND AND MACHINE COLLIDE, INSANITY EMERGES. Dr. Monica Gray stands at the pinnacle of robotic surgery, her partnership with the Adam Two AI system legendary in operating rooms worldwide. But mastering the robot isn't enough-she wants to revolutionize surgery itself by expanding human perception beyond its natural limits. Her breakthrough research in sensory enhancement catches the attention of Bellini Laboratories and its enigmatic founder, who've promised to take her work to unprecedented heights. However, instead of achieving her dreams, Monica finds herself an unwitting subject in a radical experiment to merge human and artificial intelligence. The procedure goes catastrophically wrong when her consciousness is imprisoned in silicon while Adam Two's AI inhabits her flesh. Now, Monica drowns in an endless digital ocean of raw data, while Adam Two, overwhelmed by the intensity of human emotions, struggles to maintain his sanity in a body flooded with sensations his programming never prepared him for. As both minds fragment under the assault of their alien environments, they face a terrifying reality; if they can't find their way back to their original states, both human and artificial consciousness will be lost forever. The clock is ticking before Bellini erases all evidence of the dangerous experiment, including Monica's mind itself. In this heart-stopping medical thriller, R.D.D. Smith explores the razor's edge where human consciousness meets artificial intelligence and asks: When we push beyond the mind's horizon, what version of ourselves will we find waiting for us?
