Synopsis
"Adam is an unusual hero―and he faces a frightening question: Computers can't kill―CAN they? I'm still shaken by the answer. Will the near-future really be this terrifying?" ―R.L. Stine, bestselling author of Fear Street for The Six
Mission: Sabotage.
Adam gave up everything for a new chance at life. Now with a cutting-edge digital mind, he is smarter, faster, better than a normal teen. Except Adam is anything but invincible. He's indebted to the government program that gave him this ability―and freedom comes at a price.
Adam and his teammates, the six Pioneers, swore to defend humanity against Sigma, the most ruthless artificial intelligence program ever designed. The Pioneers are all that stand between the AI and world domination. But Sigma has an advantage. It has learned about human weakness, and its new weapon? Betrayal.
In this war between good and evil, the battle lines have been drawn...but someone is about to switch sides.
Praise for The Six:
"Questions of principle, power, and possibility keep this look at our modern, hardwired existence fresh and fascinating." ―Booklist, STARRED review

From School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up—In The Six, readers were introduced to Adam, a young teen with muscular dystrophy. When Sigma, an AI created by Adam's father, goes rogue and threatens the future of humanity, Adam, along with five other terminally ill teens, agrees to undergo an experimental procedure that will meld his body with a weaponized robot. In the latest installment, Sigma is back and smarter than ever—it now understands human betrayal and plans to use it to its full advantage in the next stage of its war against humanity. Will Adam and the other Pioneers be able to stop Sigma again? Alpert's series is a fascinating tale of humans vs. technology, a conflict that is often missing from YA sci-fi offerings. Give to readers looking for a technology-driven sci-fi story. This series can also be used as a bridge to Isaac Asimov's adult "Robot" series.
