Description
Rob Dunbar is the world's best history professor. And with good reason: he's been alive for three thousand years, keeping his existence a secret since before the days of Athens.
But a stranger named Baxter has a better use for Rob's vast expertise. Baxter's looking to found a mining company in the Asteroid Belt. In exchange for Rob's help, he'll try to unravel the mystery of Rob's origin.
As they're getting their outfit off the ground, they come under covert attack by HemiCo, a powerful Mars-based corporation. And Rob learns Baxter has a secret of his own--he's not human. He's a highly illegal AI.
Developed by HemiCo in the wilds of Mars, the first AI escaped decades ago. They've been fighting a shadow war against their creators ever since. Dragged to Mars, Rob is thrown into the center of the fight--and becomes the unlikely leader of a revolution that will change the course of human history in the stars.

4By R___SA few nagging spelling errors, but I enjoyed the journey!Review for Titans
5By Doc joh1One of the best books I have ever read, and I read a lot. I’m 72 years young. Please write a continuation of “Titan”, we didn’t want it to stop! Good job. John SpearsGood story!
5By TexasMan39And of course a hook at the end for the next book!😍Great read. Thanks for the opportunity!
5By Nehemiah1234.Yes! This is entertainment!
5By cbdebrisWell paced, plausible story. And at times funny enough to make me guffaw. Deserves the five stars.Great book & an amazing journey
4By Diego_2023This has been a roller coaster of excitement & has kept me wanting more! I hope there may be a sequel in the works!Great book
5By Awesome mystery guy.This book was great, but it's definitely not a book for kids. It has a mix of action, despair, grief, and really makes you think about your life. Also in many parts of the story it shows that the author knows a thing or two about comedy. To sum it up, a must read for college students and up.Titan
3By gkloweThe book started off was interesting, but soon got boring.A good stand-alone sci-fi novel.
4By Mech360What else can I say? A good novel, nothing borrowed from movies or shows. An interesting plot w/ interesting characters. Well written and no holes in the "science" or plot. It takes a good, rare, imaginative mind to create this plot. Also a good author to make it a book. I'll be reading more from this author, I think.Awesome premise
5By q5jackJust the thought of AI and humans living together and doing great things with their superior intelligence baffles the normal mortal mind.Great fun
5By Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eThoroughly enjoyed this book. Fast paced and fun.Titans
5By MedScIFiThis guy can really turn a phrase. If you enjoy good writing to go with a good story, Titans will not disappoint. Titans uses Sci-Fi as background, not as a crutch. While a few edits were missed, on the whole I found a refreshing and inspired use of the language, so often missing in others. Well worth your time.Well-conceived and executed. Thanks so much!
5By Pabloz123Reminds me of the humor and spirit of Heinlein's work, like The Moon is Harsh Mistress. The 3000 year-old man thing really works for me. Love the way you conceive of AI and the way humans and AI can work together. Fast-paced, but makes me stop to ponder some basic human issues. Bravo sir!Very addictive!
4By Rscs4952I haven't read a book in years(since high school). Once I started I couldn't stop. Very entertaining.Wow
5By Will (BDH)What a truly amazing adventure. This book brings the past, present and future together in a fusion that creates a brilliant and exciting story. Very well done!Titans is titanic
5By Mr McCabeMost SF authors don’t really ‘get’ AI and robots. This book demonstrates a piercing vision about their ‘true’ nature. It is also an action packed great read. HIghly recommended.Titans
5By Not2bfoundThis sci fi novel has everything: Action, science, a little romance, and plenty of wry humor! The characters and landscapes are detailed and interesting. I am definitely looking for more books by this author.Very interesting!
5By PetalationsAs an avid science fiction reader it was exciting to read a story that had a completely new idea and was well written. Thank you!A good read
4By DesertHog82I thought this was a good read. A nice mix of fairly hard science-fi, ancient history with just enough angst to make it real. I thought the character development was good as was the dialogue. Well done! I would read more books written in this world.
