At the farthest edge of human expansion, Deception Well stands as a fragile refuge against a galaxy scarred by catastrophe. Entire worlds have already fallen to relentless alien machines, and the distant cradle of civilization—the Hallowed Vasties—has collapsed into dust. No one knows what destroyed that vast, star spanning domain, but Urban intends to uncover the truth.
Armed with a captive alien starship and a crew of explorers and scientists, he launches a daring mission back toward humanity’s abandoned heartland. Each light year brings new mysteries and threats, challenging their assumptions about survival, purpose, and what may have evolved among the ruins.
An entry point into the acclaimed Nanotech Succession universe, Edges delivers bold ideas, tense discovery, and the haunting question of what humanity becomes at the brink of extinction.
