The Star Wizards Series by S.J. Ryan

Matt was a typical twenty-second century teenager with a supercomputer implanted in his head. He was supposed to be launched toward the star Alpha Centauri, but ended up on another world, lights years and centuries removed from his family. Carrot was a native of that new world, a mutant of superior strength, senses, and intelligence, alienated from her own family and locked in a deadly struggle with a global empire... moreMatt was a typical twenty-second century teenager with a supercomputer implanted in his head. He was supposed to be launched toward the star Alpha Centauri, but ended up on another world, lights years and centuries removed from his family. Carrot was a native of that new world, a mutant of superior strength, senses, and intelligence, alienated from her own family and locked in a deadly struggle with a global empire. Together they would battle humans, mutants, and super-intelligent AIs in a war for the fate of a new world -- and for the survival of humankind.

The series begins with The Wizard from Earth.) Centuries earlier, the Star Seed Project secretly designed three Pandora Boxes: artificially intelligent space probes that would terraform a planet light years from Earth and populate it with life -- including human. Now civilizations have grown on the new world, with teeming millions, unaware that an evolutionary apocalypse is about to be unleashed upon them. After centuries of star flight in suspended animation, Mattimeo Jackson, a teenager from Earth who had intended to colonize another planet with his family, arrived on the world that had come to be known as Ne'arth and found himself hailed as a Wizard whose coming was foretold in prophecy. It was not a good thing, for the creators of the planet's biosphere were intent on destroying him before he could disrupt their cosmic experiment. Arcadia of Umbrick, aka 'Carrot,' aka 'The Good Witch of Britan,' the mutant native of Ne'arth whom he'd befriended, fought beside, and come to love, would aid him in his quest to free Ne'arth from its intended catastrophic fate. Together they would encounter dragons, imperial agents, and beings that had only existed on Earth as fantasy and in nightmares. Their deadliest adversaries would be the witchlike Pandoras, and behind and above them, the most powerful of all the so-called witches of Ne'arth. less
