Ancestral: The Book of Prolegomenon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789730437423)

This is not just the story of a few.

This is the story of us all.

A gripping hard science fiction epic of apocalyptic first contact, blending psychological thriller with military drama.

Humanity stands at the threshold of deep space, scattered across fragile colonies. Ambitious. Divided. Unprepared.

Then it appears.

A ruthless and eerily familiar enemy.

And with it, the promise of annihilation.

Elsie is the sole survivor of an attack that should have left nothing behind. Trapped in a shifting maze of illusions and manipulation, she begins to understand a terrifying truth: in a world where minds are rewritten and bent to unseen will, she is more than a victim.

Durante is a soldier. Loyal, lost, chasing a life that always slipped just beyond his reach. Fighting a war he doesn't understand against an enemy he cannot define. But when he is pulled into something far greater than the battlefield, he begins to realize that the deadliest threats don't announce themselves.

Manfield is an admiral shaped by war, and hardened by the ages that followed. He believes he carries the burden of salvation. But to fulfill it, he must become something far more dangerous than any enemy: not a hero... but the price history demands to exist.

As their paths converge, the conflict becomes more than a war for survival.

It becomes a reckoning.

A confrontation with truth.

A revelation of humanity's past.

And a test of its future.

What chance does humanity have...

when the echoes of its own nature become its greatest enemy?
