Humanity sealed its fate by losing control over its wars to machines. Nations and factions relied on algorithms that offered victory in their final arms race, only to unleash devastation beyond recall. Cities burned, food systems collapsed, billions perished, the human species is at the brink of extinction. From the ashes, a single ironic chance emerged that the now united leaders of Earth's final government decide for: entrust our survival to another machine, another artificial intelligence.
From hidden vaults of preserved lives on a dying Earth, the scout ship Aletheia carries a chosen crew into the unknown, guided by the very intelligence that outlived Earth. Commander Nadia Ferro and her companions wake in brief cycles of stasis to survey distant worlds, charting humanity's possible future one planet at a time.
But the search for a new home is not only a battle against cosmic distances and hostile landscapes. It is a test of trust, a struggle for agency with their evolving AI counterparts, and the memory of what destroyed their world. Each decision carries the weight of extinction.
Cerebral, tense, and immersive, Echoes of the Void blends hard science fiction with human drama in the tradition of Arthur C. Clarke, Liu Cixin, and Ann Leckie.
Will the crew find a new home among the stars, or will Earth's final echo be silence?
