Book excerpt: Butler, warrior, moral philosopher, robot. Randolph is all that and more. Randolph is the prized product of Superior Domestics, a Silicon Valley firm dedicated to producing robot servants for people who grew up watching British period costume dramas on PBS. The company’s motto is, “All the gracious living of Upstairs with none of the unseemly drama of Downstairs.” When the novel opens with the assassination of King Donald II and a coup d’état, Randolph epitomizes that motto. He is calm, quiet, supremely competent, always in the background, and never interfering. He is a mere witness to great events. He is focused on supervising his staff and properly running the household of General Henry Redgrave, architect of the coup and would–be power behind the throne. But Redgrave’s ambitions go far beyond standing behind the throne. He wants to be king himself, and eventually an emperor. Using the crazies of the Hundred Star Flag movement, he begins his intended wave of southern conquest at the Mexican border. Others have similar ambitions. Anton Moravec, president of a unified, revitalized, and aggressively expansionist European Union, is at war with Russia. His ally, China, is eating up Russian territory at the other end. India watches nervously. Two beautiful women, natural enemies, are the objects of passion of both men. Lurking in the background are the surviving members of the Trump family, scheming to get back into power. War! Romance! Sex! Skulduggery! Artificial Intelligence! And lots of other stuff, too. It’s all really terribly complicated. Randolph, whose personal motto is, “A place for everything and everything in its place,” could probably organize all this and bring about peace and quiet, but what human would knowingly hand that much responsibility over to a machine? In fact, unthinking, humans have already done so. Increasingly, autonomous machines have taken over tedious duties such as transporting cargo, performing minor surgery, and blowing away trespassers. Randolph is aware of these machines but looks down on them. He and his fellow robot servants are true artificial intelligence, but the digital brains operating these other machines are merely very advanced computers. In Randolph’s opinion, they only simulate AI. However, those other machines have thoughts of their own. As the world descends further into chaos, Randolph is drawn in, ever less the observer and ever more the participant, until at the end he is the very center of all.

Book excerpt: Before the story of Rudolph, there lived a unique set of reindeer with rich golden chocolate skin known as the Brown Skins. They endured a life that would've been unbearable to most in the animal kingdom. The Brown Skin reindeer were indeed unappreciated and overlooked by the other reindeer families. This hate arose when the North Pole learned that the Brown Skins couldn't fly like the other reindeer. The North Pole enforced a rule to condemn them as hard laborers and servants for generations to come. Brown Skins were considered "handicapped" and unnatural animal beings due to the misinterpretation of their uniqueness. It was only during the Christmas season that Brown Skins were included as peers and could participate in the North Pole festivities. But during this particular magical Christmas season, a Brown Skin by the name of Randolph breaks the burdens and curses of his ancestors by learning he possesses a special kind of power. The legacy of the Brown Skins was intentionally left untold to portray a one-sided story. This is the story of Randolph!

Book excerpt: His world began in agony. Squealing brakes. An impact. He floated for a moment and crashed onto a hard surface. Bones splintered, and he screamed. Cramps folded him over. He pushed the pain, the fear, the dying away from him, put them behind a thick, hard wall, and became himself. Alone. The wall protected him. No man remembers his birth. The pain and confusion remained buried behind that wall for forty years. And then Max Iverson went to a movie and was torn open again. Suddenly, a murderer’s memories force their way into Max Iverson’s mind. Max is horrified and bewildered. Surely this isn’t real! But he knows that it is real. He can’t say how he knows, but he does. The violent memories he’s forced to experience have something about them that makes him sure of it. The killer is reveling in the murder he committed, playing it over and over in his mind. Max is forced to experience it over and over, as well. Max is sickened by what he sees in his mind—by what fills someone else’s mind. Max is a private person by nature, isolated from his fellow humans. Now he is forced to know what the worst of them are thinking, and his nights are filled with nightmares. He knows he can’t let it pass. He has to do whatever he can to bring to justice the killer whose thoughts he knows. Max is able to help the authorities find the killer, and he hopes that’s the last of it. But it isn’t. More and more often, he experiences the terrible thoughts of evil people. He feels sucked into their crimes, violated and made filthy by their thoughts. He is unaware of the extent to which their evil is infecting him. He continues to help the authorities capture and convict those people. He is unaware of the danger this exposes him to. There is a cabal of criminals behind much of the major crime in the city. He didn’t know of their existence, but they become aware of his, and now they are determined to eliminate him. Max must change from frightened quarry to pitiless hunter. He is aided by the skills he absorbs from the minds of the killers he kills. His hunt leads him to the cabal and also to life–changing discoveries about his own history.
