Three hundred million years of war. A galaxy littered with ruins β some more dangerous than others. Rising from the ashes, the machine-led Wanderer civilisation searches for answers.
A lone Wanderer craft-lect - a sentient machine intelligence - has found something on an innocuous world it had marked for routine decontamination. Something that may aid it in finally discovering answers about the mysterious entity that started the war, and with the power to stop it.
Has it found a power that even the Ascended Biologicals did not possess?
While working the communeβs land, Gil senses danger. Outsiders are coming, with ancient minds unlike anything she has known before. Their presence awakens something deep and powerful within her.
As Gilβs abilities grow, she battles for the future of her commune, and possibly, far more.

Cerebral Sci-Fi with an emphasis on the βSciβ. If you enjoy Hard Sci-Fi, complex Space Opera, and authors such as Iain M. Banks, Alastair Reynolds and Dan Simmons, then this is for you.
