Ancestral Machines

An absorbing standalone adventure set in space, set in the world of Michael Cobley's bestselling Humanity's Fire series.

The Warcage: two hundred worlds harnessed to an artificial sun in a feat of unprecedented stellar engineering. Built to travel through space as a monument to peace between alien species, now its voracious rulers have turned it a nightmarish wasteland, capturing new planets for slaves and resources, then discarding the old.

When a verdant agri-world is pulled out of its orbit, the captain of a smuggling ship must journey into the Warcage to rescue his crew.
