Tin Man — J. Kevin Tumlinson

A Merciless Enemy. A New Threat. A Mysterious New Hope. The Ataxica, a brutal and chaotic enemy, have wiped out most of humanity, leaving behind only children. Years after that disastrous first contact, a remnant military force known as the Service represents humanity's last hope. But hope is fading fast, as the Ataxica have developed a new technology that gives them a significant advantage. On the eve of a devastating attack, members of the Service discover a lone figure - an artificially intelligent being, floating in space. Once revived, "Tin Man" may hold the key to humanity's survival, as well as the secret of their deadliest enemy. If he doesn't destroy them all first.
