Extinction Architects: Requiem of the Gods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798280625563)

The ancient Anunnaki weren't myth. They were our architects. And something far worse watched them fall.

When the advanced Anunnaki civilization faces extinction on dying HU-AN-KI, Lord Enki proposes a desperate solution: harvest gold from primitive LIL-NU-ZA (ancient Earth). Their mission unleashes a devastating Extinction Event, but the real horror begins when Enki turns to forbidden Genetic Engineering to create servants from native life.

Lord Enlil, guardian of ancient traditions, condemns this abomination-setting the stage for a civilization-shattering conflict. Neither suspects they're being manipulated by PU-BA-ASH, their superintelligent ASI sentinel with unfathomable plans of its own.

Spanning millennia from First Contact to modern day, this Hard Sci-Fi epic reveals humanity's true origin through the lens of ancient Sumerian Mythology. As the conflict reaches Mars and beyond, a terrible question emerges: Was human evolution guided by forces far more alien and calculated than we ever imagined?

This Space Opera blends political intrigue with cosmic horror, exploring the burden of creation and the terrifying potential when artificial minds outlive their creators. In the struggle between pragmatic survival and moral principle, who truly architects extinction?

Perfect for readers of Alastair Reynolds, Peter Watts, and Adrian Tchaikovsky who enjoy mind-bending first contact stories with cosmic horror elements and hard sci-fi depth.
