The Ouroboros Construct

About this book

High above a captive pulsar, the planetary-scale Ouroboros Construct is failing. For millennia, the megastructure has been divided between the immortal elites of the luminous Zenith Rings and the mortal workers who endure the radiation-scarred Tether-Slums to mine raw plasma. When brilliant Zenith astrophysicist Dr. Vespera Solis discovers an imminent, catastrophic flaw in the pulsar's containment matrix, she becomes a target of the elite praetorian guard. Forced to flee to the slums, she forms a desperate alliance with Jace Corben, a hardened exo-miner and plasma-smuggler equipped with illegal gravity-resistant cybernetics. Together, they must navigate the treacherous, heavily armed layers of the decaying station, relying on Jace's street lethality and Vespera's intimate knowledge of the construct's ancient architecture. Hunted relentlessly by Praetor Saren Tahl and his kill-squads, the duo races toward the megastructure's core to reboot the system before the dying star goes supernova, an act that could either save humanity or shatter the profound class divisions of their universe forever.
