Embers of the Ancients
(2026)(The ninth book in the First Peacemaker series)
A novel by Aaron Bunce, J N Chaney and Terry Maggert
The GKU still exists. Barely. But it's a tainted artifact, distorted by the galaxy it was built to serve.
Alexander Hawkes no longer believes it can be saved.
With the Two Star League behind him and Vaz-Mar in custody, he has dealt the Cabal a grievous blow. But nothing fights harder to hold power than those who have only just tasted it.
So Alexander quietly begins moving the people he trusts to Mesaribe and the old Eternum tender now hiding in its shadow. He tells himself it's a contingency. A safeguard. In truth, it's already a rebellion. A Guild where peacemakers can serve justice, free from the governments that seek to absorb or corrupt it.
Meanwhile, the Sorcerers continue to spread their digital disease, Stillness cuts without ever being seen, and the Pleikomas war grinds on. All the while, the GKU fans the flames, because conflict pays more than peace.
And not one second of it reaches the galactic feeds.
Alexander's body is siliconizing. The cure, if there is one, is scattered across the missing Antares genetic data cards. But the deeper Alexander digs, the harder the truth is to ignore: the Antares weren't lost to a freak astronomical event.
They were systematically erased.
Someone claims to know why and by whom. Visic. Except the former Nacendo proconsul isn't the woman he remembers. She's unnaturally still and quiet. Four says what nobody wants to hear.
Maybe like Alexander, she was collected.
And if that's the case, what came back? And for what purpose?
Genre: Science Fiction
