The stars are dead. Time exhales its final breath. In a forgotten archive, the last story begins... At the edge of time, after the last stars have flickered out, and the universe drifts into silence, Tao Solandis endures... a space station orbiting a dying black hole. Within its halls, an ancient AI safeguards the artifacts and memories of countless lost civilizations, waiting for the foretold arrival of a traveller who has stepped across eons and dimensional planes, searching for his lost love. Tao Solandis unveils six interconnected tales: Zero Sum Sunrise - A rogue agent sets out to uncover the apocalyptic schemes of a godlike AI. The Shard of Theia - A celestial fragment reveals humanity's cosmic origins. Dirge of the Sha'i-song Bird - An alien battles soul-stealing biotechnology to save his beloved. Counterfeit Sky - In a fractured reality, truth and illusion blur beyond recognition. Pilgrims of the Eventide Star - A dying star brings together pilgrims seeking meaning. As the universe fades, these tales weave a meditation on love, survival, and the fragile beauty of life, even at the end of time itself.
Autorenporträt
I've loved both books and science fiction from an early age - so much so it was inevitable I began writing the stuff. My influences include Philip K Dick, Dan Simmons, Ursula Le Guin and Iain M Banks (plus so many more); storytelling and world-building at its best. But other, more unconventional sources inspire me too, such as anime, music and cult TV shows like the BBC classic Blake's 7 and the iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I enjoy creating complex characters and then putting them through their paces - I don't believe in characters getting an easy time. My first novel, Black Milk, was released in 2016 and I published my second, Delphine Descends, in 2019.
