Breath of Oblivion

The Muungano empire continues to face off against those who want to impede its progress. After the destruction of the Orun Gate, the Reapers try to find a way to integrate their mission of first contact while trapped on the alien side of the ruined gate. On the Cypher, Captain Stacia Chikeke is trying to get her crew home and find a cure for her son’s illness, but factions begin to form and crack the crew’s loyalties. Back on Original Earth, the dying world gives rise to those who seek to escape Muungano and those who use violence to keep power over the oppressed. In Muungano itself, those with the loudest voices begin to stoke the fire for a battle that few want, but all will have to face. With multiple points of view carrying the story, readers may find themselves lost in the multiple plot threads. However, the character-driven action and themes of race relations, violent rhetoric, and families of blood and choice will connect throughout.
