The Fracture

The Fracture follows the Terran fleet beyond the last worlds the retreating enemy defended, from a frozen planet shaped by machines into the open dark toward a distant galaxy. As every victory carries the pursuit farther from home, old records and unanswered signals raise harder questions about how the war began. At an ancient gateway, the pursuit meets defenders no one expected, and humanity’s account of its own war begins to fracture.
