Babylon's Wake. The Babylon Cycle, #3

The war for the galaxy won't be won by gods. It will be won by a mechanic. Andy never wanted to be the spark that ignited a galactic rebellion. He just wanted to keep his sentient ship, Seven, flying and protect the small found-family he'd gathered along the way. But the ideals of freedom he shared with a desperate galaxy have taken root, and the resulting fire is threatening to burn the oppressive Stark Empire to the ground.
Now, the empire is striking back. With the terrifying might of the Dominion's military closing in, the rebellion is pushed to the brink of annihilation. The Stark Emperor has unveiled his ultimate weapon, a planet-killing fleet capable of wiping out entire worlds to force the outer rim into submission. The stakes are no longer just survival-they are the right to exist free from tyranny. To save the nascent Republic and the woman he loves, Andy must make an impossible choice.
The Emperor doesn't just want to crush the rebellion; he wants a mythical prize hidden deep within Earth's own solar system-an ancient artifact of unimaginable power that could grant him twisted divinity. Andy is going to give it to him. But Andy isn't a god, and he isn't a savior. He's a mechanic. And a good mechanic knows that no matter how big the machine, there's always a way to break it. In this explosive, galaxy-spanning conclusion to the Babylon Cycle, alliances will shatter, sacrifices will be made, and a desperate crew will risk everything for a future worth living.
