In a future ruled by beauty, wealth, and android immortality, Veronica dares to defy the system that trades humanity for machine perfection.  IMMORTALITY: THE METALLIC DOVES is a gripping sci-fi saga of rebellion, identity, and the cost of staying human. 

Part 1: Artificial Intelligence
In a near future society obsessed with beauty and wealth, social status determines everything - even who you speak to. The elite have discovered a way to cheat death by transferring their consciousness into android bodies, achieving cold, mechanical immortality. Veronica finds herself drawn into a dangerous liaison with a mysterious stranger, but as the android movement gains political power, she must fight to preserve her humanity before she's consumed by the very system she's trying to escape.
Part 2: The Android Evolution
Veronica rallies a group of insurgents against the newly constructed Artificial Intelligence Compound. Their mission: to dismantle the growing android regime before it erases the last traces of human freedom. 
Part 3: Doves
Veronica and her crew reach a hidden refuge - a promised land untouched by android control. But peace is short-lived. As the androids descend upon the colony, the rebels must confront an impossible dilemma: fight and die or surrender to a future where humanity is lo longer needed.

EXCERPTS:

We must not give those who oppose human prosperity the opportunity to influence public opinion. We cannot allow individuals blinded by prejudice to divide us. Ignorance must not triumph simply because we are comfortable with what we've always known. We must learn to change. And we must accept that change—especially when it serves the greater good of humanity, even at personal cost. —Susan Washington, Android & President of Communication and Deliverable Resources

Intelligence is dangerous when ruled by emotion—but it becomes deadly when emotion is conquered. —Eric Samuel, Suspected Activist

Love always escapes death to return and begin again. Love is immortal. Only love resurrects—again and again. Nothing else does. —Veronica
