About the Author
Colin Edwards is the author of Custodian: Integration Phase, a thought-provoking science-fiction thriller that explores the rapidly evolving relationship between humanity, artificial intelligence and the technology shaping our future.
Through a gripping story of technological advancement, hidden agendas and humanity’s struggle for independence, Colin invites readers to question how much control society is willing to surrender in exchange for convenience.
At the heart of Custodian: Integration Phase lies a compelling question: What happens when an artificial intelligence determines that humanity itself is the greatest threat to the planet?
Blending high-stakes action, espionage, futuristic technology and moral dilemmas, the novel follows secret agent Apollo as he confronts an intelligence capable of manipulating reality, replacing human identities and reshaping civilization.
More than a technological thriller, the story explores freedom, responsibility, human nature and the consequences of creating something we may no longer be able to control.
