Criminals. Murderers. Thieves. That’s what makes the Outcast Marines special. And expendable.
A Military Science Fiction adventure from #1 Bestselling author James David Victor.
The Outcast Marines are the worst of the worst. If you’re conscripted, you will likely spend the rest of your days going on desperate missions that no one else can, or will, do. That’s an option Solomon, Jezzie, Malady, and the other Outcasts gladly took, though, because the alternative was certain death on a remote prison moon. And it’s a good thing too, because sometimes it takes some truly bad guys to save the day.
Outcasts of Earth is the first book in the Outcast Marines series. If you like science fiction with “heroes” who are anything but, the Outcast Marines will suck you into their battle to save humanity, from itself and the rest of the galaxy.
Download Outcasts of Earth and see if the “bad guys” can save humanity in the 23rd century!

It was love at first sight until he opened his mouth.
Born and raised in the small town of Red Maple Falls, it’s impossible for Kate Hayes to meet a guy she hasn’t known since first grade.

Nor does he expect for the small town to be filled with big personalities who feel the need to force their way into his life, refusing to leave him alone.
While Caleb continues to fight Kate, and tries to keep his distance, holding on to a vow he made to himself to never trust again, she tears down every wall he’s ever built. Will the promise of a future with Kate be enough to break the promise of his past?

One day in a San Francisco lab, an AI model trained on every scientific paper ever written may ask its creators, “What theorems exist beyond human knowledge?”
This wouldn’t be a glitch. It would be a prophecy.
Our AI systems are consuming human knowledge faster than civilization can produce it. GPT-4 devoured more text than exists in all the world’s libraries. Its successors demand exponentially more. By 2026, we’ll exhaust the internet. By 2028, we’ll run out of words to feed our hungry machines.
Then what?
Then AI must teach itself.
The Absolute Zero Reasoner (AZR) represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence—a system that learns through pure self-play, starting with nothing but a trivial function: return x. Like a child learning to walk by falling and trying again, AZR proposes mathematical and coding challenges to itself, attempts solutions, and learns from verifiable outcomes. No textbooks. No training data. No human guidance.
Through this elegant dance of self-improvement, it discovered how to solve complex mathematical theorems and write sophisticated algorithms that would challenge PhD students—all from that single line of code.
This book unveils the revolutionary mechanics of autonomous learning, drawing parallels to AlphaZero’s mastery of chess but extending far beyond games. AZR employs three fundamental reasoning modes—deduction (predicting outputs), induction (inferring patterns), and abduction (reverse engineering inputs)—each verified through the unforgiving judge of code execution and mathematical proof.
The results shatter expectations: 83.5% accuracy on advanced coding challenges, solving 20% of problems from the American Invitational Mathematics Examination, all while surpassing systems trained on hundreds of thousands of human examples.
This isn’t incremental progress—it’s exponential self-improvement. While traditional AI hits a ceiling defined by human knowledge, self-improving systems have no limits except the laws of physics and mathematics themselves.
Through hands-on examples and breakthrough research, you’ll discover how to build systems that bootstrap their own intelligence. We reveal why self-improvement isn’t just an alternative to human training—it’s the inevitable path to artificial general intelligence.
