Description

This “witty, heartfelt sci-fi romp” is the dazzling third installment in a diverse space opera series for fans of The Expanse and John Scalzi’s The Collapsing Empire—from a Hugo Award–winning author (Tor.com)

The ancient alien gods are waking up—and there’s only one spaceship crew ready to stop them . . .

Aliens known as the Liars gave humanity access to the stars through twenty-nine wormholes. They didn’t mention that other aliens, the ancient, tyrannical—but thankfully sleeping—Axiom occupied all the other systems. When the twenty-ninth fell silent, humanity chalked it up to radical separatists and moved on. But now, on board the White Raven, Captain Callie and her crew of Axiom-hunters receive word that the twenty-ninth colony may have met a very different fate.
 
With their bridge generator, they skip past the wormhole—and discover another Axiom project, fully awake, and poised to pour through the wormhole gate into all the worlds of humanity . . .

    Wonderful ending to a brilliant trilogy. Easily one of the best sci-if series I have ever read.
  • Misspellings and bad proofing

    Story is fine. But there are several spelling errors and just bad proof reading. ‘Cleaning Blaze’??? If I am paying full professional price, I expect a story/document that at least has correct spelling.
