The clock to human extinction has begun ticking.   Jon and his crew are tired, homesick and pissed off. They've fought too hard and bled too much to quit now. They're going to find a way to beat the Death Machines, for the sake of their homes, they have to.   A.I. ASSAULT is the third book in the A.I. Series, a novel of military science fiction by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner.   The series starts with book 1, A.I. DESTROYER. **
