    I’ve always believed this, even as I take up a sword in a contest of princes that will determine who will be king of our lands. It’s a prize that many covet, including my brother who wants the throne more than any I know and is the last person who should have it. I don’t even want to be king, but I’ll do it just to keep it from him, and that’s all that matters until I’m gifted the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.Benta comes as a wonder in the Matching, a ceremony to determine the mates of me and my fellow battle princes. She’s not like the other prizes. First, she’s human, not a simpering Worsi or snooty Piki. She’s also a fierce woman who’s full of surprises, any of which could tear us apart.

The god-like aliens are systematically driving humanity to the verge of extinction.Desperate times need desperate measures and humanity launches a crazy plan, to board and seize a Killer starship, hoping to unlock their technology.

If they fail, the Killers will be the only form of life remaining in the entire universe…

    That warning was the only thing protecting the child. Why? Perhaps because he was abandoned without parents or AI-implants, when almost everyone else has them. Perhaps because the rest of humanity is connected mind-to-mind to compete with pure robotic AIs, but bio-extremists see deadly threat in his power. Or perhaps because they wonder at the mystery of his origins when humankind reaches for the stars, only to find something out there watching, and waiting.

But forces at work in our little corner of the galaxy ensure he’ll be forced on to a journey that is far more exciting - and dangerous - than he ever could have imagined. “…truly brings about the question of what you define as "human"...one of the best sci-fi novels I've read!"
