The Battle for Earth Begins
The Governance is falling apart as Mathison struggles to keep the Sol system from imploding. Stathis is learning more about the threat that Becket and the AI collective is becoming, and Sif has discovered that there are lethal flaws in the Alliance’s defenses.
Mathison must declare himself Emperor and reveal himself before it is too late, but he needs the support of the Vapaus Republic, and—as the vanhat assault intensifies against Sol—there are factions within the governance that see Mathison’s weakness as an opportunity.
Can Mathison and Stathis overcome the challenges they face, or is humanity doomed to become like the tomb worlds? An extinct species known only by the blasted ruins of their worlds.
Is this what happens when angels fall?
