Kenneth Peterson learns immortality comes at a price in this near future story by the author of the Moreau Society series. No longer Kenneth Peterson, now he is KI-P3 “Kip,” a crystallized brain wrapped in an A.I. core net—a mentic who works security for Interplanetary Portal Enterprises. They promise immortality and deliver indentured servitude. IPE’s headquarters occupies the ‘New West Coast’—not the one destroyed by Cascadia’s quakes and eruptions—the one built in Israel over the ruins of what was called Gaza. Kip remembers the past. A past potentially resurrected when he is alerted to a security problem. Ryan M. Williams’ Someplace Else is part of the Super Great Challenge (SGC), one story written each week for a year from this imaginative author. Each story an unique experience that can be read in a single entertaining sitting.
