AUTMN RANGERS (http://autumnrangers.com)
U.S. Marine Ranger McCoy, an F-22 Raptor fighter pilot, is the Classic American Hero. After defending the US Constitution from enemies without, getting shot down and escaping on home, he finds himself on the run, defending the US Constitution from enemies within. Folk rocker Autumn West is the All-American Girl. After living for things greater than herself, she finds herself on the run from a failed marriage, with a broken heart and jaded soul.
Ranger tried to trade his guns for a camera and a pen, and Autumn tried to trade a life on the road for a farm and a family, but life fell short of their dreams.
Ranger invented APRIL--an AI biocomputer which was stolen by Silicon Virtue Inc. and turned against him while he was flying missions over Afghanistan. Silicon Virtue is using APRIL to serve the bottom line instead of the higher ideals, building WMDs and sending ever-more-sinister RoboClones to hunt Ranger and Autumn down. Ranger wears the Ring that can save APRIL by unlocking an encrypted moral operating system named Beatrice, named after Ranger's first summer love who passed away when they were fourteen.
Together Autumn and Ranger have to make it from Charleston to LA on backroads before the bombs APRIL built for terrorists detonate in NY and LA, and before APRIL's RoboClones kill them.
And so it is that two Romantics find themselves on the run from RoboClone agents and Sheriffs of Irony who enforce a context of decline and persecute the honest and true. Autumn and Ranger become partners in crime and partners in rhyme. They become Classic American Outlaws running west in a '69 Stingray Corvette, building the Renaissance against all odds. They become Autumn Rangers. And by the time Ranger discovers Autumn's deep secret, it's too late--he's in love.
