An armada of powerful AI and an alien expedition embark on a perilous journey toward safe harbors in the third book of an emotional sci-fi series.
They had all—the artificial intelligences of Sol and the sailors of the Third Expeditionary Fleet alike—believed the Starless Horrors were mindless monsters: little more than beasts driven by eldritch desires, lashing out from their unknown depths to kill and destroy. But that naive perception was thoroughly crushed after an encounter with a terrifying entity who called itself the Executor.
Luckily, through the heroic actions of the AI Jupiter, this abomination was locked away before disaster could befall everyone. As if to spite them though, the cunning and ruthless being cast a dark tempest across the entire Dead Zone, blocking out all communications and making travel a risky endeavor, to say the least.
Andora, leader of Sol's last AI guardians, has spent more than a century defending the ruined planet once known as Earth. But when faced with vital intel regarding their greatest enemy, she prepares to enact the Final Contingency and abandon her post. Together with Patriarch Tov Garesh'Ynt, representative of the Galactic Legacy Federation and leader of the Third Expeditionary Fleet, she prepares to pack up what remains of humanity before embarking on an exodus to Legacy space and warning the rest of the galaxy before it's too late.
In their voyage for survival, they must contend with the dark waters of the Dead Zone, now more dangerous than ever. Their numbers have been slashed, their closest friends and allies injured, and their path to victory is fraught with the unknown. The only hope Andora and Tov have of making it back to safer stars is to bring to bear the full breadth of their capabilities in their combined armada and link up with other friendly forces—that is, if any are still alive out there . . .
Powerfully blending character-driven storytelling and unforgettable deep-space battle strategy, Exodus is an edge-of-your-seat adventure from beginning to end—perfect for fans of The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica.
