Description
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 . . .
Advance Praise
“Fun, funny, pacy, thought-provoking and very clever space opera – a breath of fresh air.”
– Sean Williams, author of Twinmaker
“The engaging, inclusive, and entertaining Axiom series, may be his best work yet… witty, heartfelt sci-fi romp.”
– Tor.com
“Pratt’s thoughtful worldbuilding, revealed little by little, continues to impress… This well-imagined universe, populated by original and empathetic characters, has enough energy to power what could become a long-lived series.”
– Publishers Weekly
“Brilliantly fun space opera that reminds me of Killjoys but with more Weird Alien Cool Shit.”
Liz Bourke for Locus
“A really good read that was intelligently written and skilfully put together.”
– Two Bald Mages
“Expansive world building, great movement coupled with interesting characterization and a story line that is not only intriguing but brings back the grand space fairing odyssey.”
– Koeur’s Book Reviews
