No planet is safe

Adrian Tchaikovsky, the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author, returns with the sequel to his acclaimed space opera Shards of Earth.

After eighty years of fragile peace, the Architects are back, wreaking havoc as they consume entire planets. Facing impending extinction, the Human Colonies are in turmoil. While some believe a unified front is the only way to stop the Architects, others insist humanity should fight alone.

Idris, who has spent decades running from the horrors of his past, finds himself thrust back onto the battlefront. With a handful of allies, he searches for a weapon that could save the galaxy. But to do so, he must return to the nightmarish unspace. What Idris discovers there will change everything.
