Super-Earth Mother introduces a new way for humans to colonize an exoplanet using synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. The story is set on the Earth-like planet Valencia, orbiting a distant star, and follows the adventures of transhuman colonists who struggle to survive against the planet's harsh environment and unknown predators. Led by a neurotic AI named Mother-9, the colonists must forge an alliance with sentient hive creatures to ensure their survival.

Industry Reviews

"Super-Earth Mother is an ambitious and complex novel that explores the challenges and possibilities of human colonization on an alien planet through the lens of synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. The novel's structure and multiple story arcs add layers of depth and intrigue to the narrative, making it a fascinating read for fans of hard science fiction." - Gordon Blythe

"Super-Earth Mother is an intriguing and thought-provoking read for fans of hard science fiction." - George Potts

"Guy Immega brings a unique blend of scientific expertise, creative writing skills, and humanitarian efforts to his work, Super-Earth Mother." - Carol Hopewell

"The story details an entire planet with a colorful ecosystem of stunning variety."

"Valencia [the fictional planet in "Super-Earth Mother"] could kick Pandora's ass [the fictional planet in James Cameron's Avatar movie] in sixteen seconds flat."

"The story details an entire planet with a colorful ecosystem of stunning variety."

"[Super-Earth Mother] explains how modifications of humans are necessary to allow survival on alien worlds."

"You know you're reading a good hard sci-fi story when it has conveyed Fermi's Paradox in two paragraphs."

"It makes you smarter, even as it keeps you at the edge of your seat."

"It also makes you care about a brain-damaged, almost impotent AI trapped in the orbit of a world that is slowly killing her."

"Super-Earth Mother was a blast to read and pretty much the best story in the anthology (and it was a damn hard pick, let me tell you)."

"I haven't had this much fun reading a hard sf story since Egan's Diaspora."
