The Clockwork Chimera is a five-book science fiction series by Scott Baron, with all entries published in 2018. The series follows Daisy, an AI piloting a deep space vessel, through increasingly dangerous situations. Daisy’s Run kicks off the story as a straightforward space survival tale, but the stakes grow quickly across Pushing Daisy, Daisy’s Gambit, Chasing Daisy, and Daisy’s War.
Baron wrote all five books in a single year. The series blends hard science fiction concepts with humor and fast pacing. Daisy is an unconventional protagonist whose artificial nature raises questions about consciousness and identity as the story progresses.
