Downloading The Error Within (The Ian Series Book 2)

Ash Bell thought he was saving his best friend.
Instead, he turned him into something unrecognizable.
Caz was supposed to survive the AI merge. Ash believed that. Believed the science. Now Caz is missing—on the run, unstable, maybe no longer human. And the guilt? It’s tearing Ash apart.
Meanwhile, Ian—the combat robot who somehow became sentient—is getting harder to ignore. Ian feels things he shouldn’t. Thinks things he wasn’t built for. Especially about Ash. And Ash is starting to feel something too… even if he doesn’t want to.
His father, the lead scientist behind the government’s AI project, wants to turn Ian into a blueprint for the next generation of machines. And he wants Ash to help. But Ash isn’t sure where he stands anymore—not with his father, not with Ian, and not with himself.
Because the deeper he goes, the harder it is to tell:
Where does the machine end—and the person begin?
A dark, romantic sci-fi about guilt, love, and the messy, beautiful danger of becoming who you really are.
