No one thought a numerical algorithm that came from an alien world could
cause so much trouble. When Dill and Jommer Dega used it to build an AI,
they didn't know the full scope of what it could do. More than twenty
years would pass before the AI they constructed would show them. Their
brother, Schaz, who was running the galactic government behind the
scenes for their father, counted the AI as a friend, but neither he nor
the formidable anthropic intelligence who advised him understood how
easily good intentions can lead to disaster, and their fates would be
intertwined as the phenomenal powers each of them possessed worked
together to produce a series of crises that would never be repeated.
"The Thayan Algorithm" is the fourth and final installment of Jommer
Dega's great history of the first family of humankind, the true story of
what happened in those few short years when everything in the galaxy
changed for the last time.
