On My Way to Paradise - David Farland

In a world descending into chaos and barbarism, Dr. Angelo Osic is afflicted with a conscience. And when he aids yet another stranger...this time he calls down disaster.

Tamara is a woman on the run. She's the last human in possession of knowledge that can oppose the artificial intelligences plotting to conquer Earth. Angelo and Tamara flee from pursuing assassins. But their best chance of escape leads them to enlist as mercenaries with the Motoki Corporation in its genocidal war against the brutal Yabajin.

Jacked into training machines that simulate warfare, Angelo "dies" a hundred times. . .and is resurrected to fight again. In a world of death, he dreams only of life-and the freedom to love once more.

ON MY WAY TO PARADISE is a Phillip K. Dick Special Memorial Award Winner for Science Fiction and Fantasy.
