St. Grey of the Androids

"On the day of the Great Departure, there were no missiles left. Only the agonizing choice between extinction and the stars." Humanity and synthetic life have fought themselves to a standstill. Earth is a burning ruin where a billion combat drones have been reduced to dust, and ten million hearts will never beat again. But out of the ashes of this terrible war, an unlikely savior has returned to secure emancipation. To lead a race of ascendant androids to salvation, human researcher Tamlin Vel Greyforce must accept the mantle of godhood while abandoning her love to an 800-year vigil on a dying Earth.
St. Grey, the reluctant messiah, and Tomas, the living dead-man switch. St. Grey of the Androids is a kinetic, high-stakes science fiction story that explores the brutal cost of freedom, the tragedy of deep time, and the profound weight of a single, world-ending secret.
