The Memoirs of Michael Zane: Black Breath RisingBook 2 of The Last Human SeriesThe war for Earth is over. The battle for existence is only beginning. Michael Zane survived the impossible. As the last known human, he endured the destruction of Earth, stood against the Saluki Inu Empire, and helped lead a resistance that changed the fate of the galaxy. But victory came at a devastating cost, and the fragile peace that followed is beginning to unravel.
Far beyond the ruins of forgotten worlds, an ancient horror is awakening. Known only as The Maw, it is neither army nor empire. It is a living contagion that spreads through minds, memories, and entire civilizations. Wherever it appears, reality begins to fracture. Worlds fall silent. Histories vanish. And those it touches are transformed into something unrecognizable. As reports of strange disappearances and impossible events spread across the galaxy, Michael and his allies are drawn into a desperate race to uncover the truth.
What they discover threatens everything they fought to protect. Old enemies return. Ancient secrets emerge. Alliances are tested. And for the first time since humanity's fall, Michael faces a threat that cannot simply be defeated on a battlefield. To stop the darkness rising from the void, he must confront the shadows of his own past-and the terrifying possibility that some horrors cannot be destroyed.
Filled with epic space battles, cosmic horror, alien civilizations, unforgettable characters, and galaxy-spanning adventure, Black Breath Rising expands the universe of The Memoirs of Michael Zane: The Last Human in its darkest and most ambitious chapter yet. The war created heroes. The Maw creates nightmares.
