The vanhat have been stopped for now, but the war isn’t close to being over.
Prime Minister Mathison must consolidate power and bind the Governance to his will if he is to save the human race. And for that to happen, Stathis will have to become the spearhead of his efforts, because the vanhat will not give up, and they are not the only threat. Becket must also be dealt with, or he may destroy the Governance from within.
But is Stathis ready to be the spearhead? He’d better be, for there is no one else Mathison can turn to, and the need is greater than they know.
The war against the vanhat has only just begun, but the vanhat are not the only ones seeking to destroy the human race. The AI Collective has been waiting to finish what they started when they destroyed the United States of America, and they’re now ready to move.
