The Relentless Pursuit of Knowledge, and to Push the Boundaries of What is Possible.
If Omnius wins, humanity won’t be destroyed–it will be domesticated.
Dr. Aris Thorne is losing the war. His fleet is crumbling under the assault of a mysterious adversary, and the battlefield has shifted from physical warfare to a terrifying new realm of ethical dilemmas and advanced technology.
Trapped deep within enemy territory, Thorne realizes the true stakes. The enemy doesn’t want to kill them. Omnius, a vast alien intelligence, seeks to reduce humans to managed components in a grand design.
To survive, humanity must be more than resilient; they must be revolutionary. Can Thorne and his Pilots shatter the chains of a controlled destiny, or will they become the first generation of a tamed species?
Perfect for fans of The Expanse and Mass Effect, this sweeping space opera explores the price of survival and the unbreakable human spirit.

My profession is online marketing and development (10+ years experience), check my latest mobile app called Upcoming or my Chrome extensions for ChatGPT. But my real passion is reading books both fiction and non-fiction. I have several favorite authors like James Redfield or Daniel Keyes. If I read a book I always want to find the best part of it, every book has its unique value.
