Series: The Axiom
Ancient aliens, the Axiom, will kill us all - when they wake up. In deep space, a swarm of nanoparticles threatens the colonies, transforming everything it meets into computronium - including the colonists. The crew of the White Raven investigate, and discover an Axiom facility filled with aliens hibernating while their minds roam a vast virtual reality. The treacherous Sebastien wakes up, claiming his altered brain architecture can help the crew deactivate the swarm - from inside the Axiom simulation. To protect humanity, beleaguered Captain Callie Machedo must trust him, but if Sebastien still plans to dominate the universe using Axiom tech, they could be in a whole lot of trouble.

Reviews for The Dreaming Stars (#2 Axiom)

Fun, funny, pacy, thought-provoking and very clever space opera - a breath of fresh air. - Sean Williams, author of Twinmaker Through his wit, dialogue, and vast, diverse world, Tim Pratt has created a space opera for today-one filled with diverse characters and cultures that feel nuanced enough to be real-while still delivering the sense of wonder that made you love the genre in the first place. It yanks readers through the wormhole and refuses to let them go.
