Death Has No Shadow. Avar-Tek, #2

In a remote research facility nestled on a volcanic island, Kutisha works alone with Prometheus, a sentient AI with a counselor's touch. Working through the night to uncover the mysteries of gravitational waves, Kutisha throws herself into her work to avoid dealing with the grief of her dead husband. But when a military lab leak unleashes an army of menacing nanites-dubbed "Mind Leaches"-her routine shatters into chaos. As the facility's defenses crumble and time runs out, the threat forces Kutisha to make an impossible choice: risk defending her life's work alone or trust the enemy of the last war-an AI driven mech. In a world where the line between human and machine blurs, Death Has No Shadow explores the ethics of recording a human soul when appearances deceive us.
Will Kutisha face annihilation alone or trust an old enemy?
