Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dire Saga is a series of superhero fiction books by Andrew Seiple published from 2015 to 2017.They follow Dire, who awoke in a lab with sutures around her skull, no memories of who she was, a recording indicating that if she was hearing it the process was a success, and agents breaking into the lab around her, shooting to kill. After escaping by virtue of a large number of booby traps, she gets into trouble with a local gang and winds up allying with a tent town of disadvantaged folk with nowhere else to go. Except that's not all...The world is in disarray due to Y2K apparently having knocked out power and communications worldwide, Dire can only refer to herself in third person and might be the supervillain responsible for the current collapse of civilization, and the gang she's up against might be less than human. Nevertheless, she's determined to carve out a place in this world for herself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also Dire Worm, a crossover with Worm by Seiple himself that predates the book series and probably serves as most readers' first encounter with Dire. | |

Amnesiac Hero | |
| The Dire Saga / int_41ba335a | comment |
Amnesiac Hero: Dire apparently erased her memories prior to the events of the first book. It's heavily hinted that she used to be a villain, but now she acts in a heroic, if pragmatic, fashion. Late in the first book, it's revealed that this is to protect her from time travelers. In the second book, it's shown that she has good reason to worry about that. In actuality, the amnesia is also due to her being a volunteer who sacrificed their self to have a control device implanted into her brain to let the Artificial Intelligences control her by committee. | |

| The Dire Saga / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Digital Intelligences (tied to hardware) were pioneered in World War II and continued to progress in capabilities until the year 2000 when Artificial Intelligences (software-based, and able to evolve rapidly) decided to strike during Y2K. They have now agreed to fight via a proxy, namely Dire. | |
