Synopsis
The enemy is dead. Their guns still aim.
The Mutual Prosperity invaded Hesperides Colony centuries ago--dropped asteroids on the oceans, triggered a volcanic winter, killed millions. The invaders eventually died fighting. Their orbital artillery AI, Damocles, did not. It has spent three hundred years killing anything that looks like a threat: radio signals, powered vehicles, anything that might let humanity rebuild fast enough to strike back.
Seventeen-year-old Shaifennen "Shai" Roehe grew up in a mineshaft, scrounging salvage from the ruins of a dead civilization. Then she finds a crashed military shuttle from the Long Night buried in a highland ravine. It's the biggest salvage find in living memory--and it comes with secrets. Traitors from the original war. A murdered alien marine who died fighting for humanity's future. And enough battlesteel and fabrication equipment to turn her struggling homestead into something that scares the right people.
