Description
When the machines come, survival becomes a revolution.
The ocean world of Galapagos has stayed free by keeping its head down. But then a gold-and-white shuttle from the AI-led Empire of Carthage lands at the planet's only spaceport, and "peace" comes with a price.
Minister-General Reginald Ellison is offered protection by the empire's ambassador, Simon Zorn. Ellison sees the truth: submit, and Galapagos will be stripped for parts. Refuse, and the machines will make an example of his world.
On the ruined husk of Earth, scavenger Colt crosses paths with Mohini, a girl who can do the impossible: hack the empire's lethal reaper infantry. The moment the machines realise what she is, the hunt begins.
And in Carthage itself, Audrey Caracala, daughter of the Prime Legislator, discovers her luxury life is just another system that can be controlled. When her own security turns on her, she's forced into the very rebellion her world is built to crush.
Across the empire's conquered colonies, the opening strikes of Carthage are only the beginning. If Ellison, Colt, Mohini, and Audrey can't survive what's coming, it won't be one planet that falls. It will be humanity's last chance to choose its own future.
Can they spark a rebellion before the machines lock the galaxy into permanent submission?
Engines of Empire is Book One in the Empire of Machines trilogy by Max Carver. Combining the cerebral dystopia of Blade Runner with the heart-pounding action of Terminator, it's perfect for readers who love fast-paced sci-fi rebellion, ruthless machine empires, and a multi-front war where every choice can tip the balance.
