Richard Penn was engineered to save humanity — but after wiping out an entire Tellurian garrison, he’s betrayed, captured, and turned into a weapon for the very Empire he was built to destroy.
On a distant world ruled by fear and deception, one ancient structure holds the power to choose a leader worthy of shaping the future of humanity.
When Richard Penn is captured and dragged across the stars, he expects interrogation, punishment, maybe execution. Instead, he is thrust into the heart of Sigma Alpha Prime, a world dominated by a mountain-sized pyramid built by the first intelligent species. Inside, reality bends, nightmares take form, and every trial is drawn from the deepest corners of the mind. Penn survives what no one else ever has. He reaches the Prize. And that changes everything. Now the Emperor demands answers. The Empire demands obedience. And a man who has faced the demons of his own soul must decide whether to offer peace… or unleash a war that will shake the galaxy.
The Prize is a sweeping science‑fiction epic of survival, identity, and the terrifying power of self-knowledge, where the greatest battles are fought not with weapons, but within the human mind.
Genre: Science Fiction
