Ancestral Machines by Michael Cobley

A new standalone epic space opera, set in the same world as the Humanity's Fire trilogy.
No world is safe.

The Warcage: two hundred worlds harnessed to an articial sun in a feat of unprecedented stellar engineering. Built to travel through space as a monument to peace between alien species, now its voracious rulers have turned it into a nightmarish wasteland, capturing new planets for slaves and resources, then discarding the old.

Now, when a verdant agri-world is pulled out of its orbit, the captain of a smuggler ship must journey into the Warcage to rescue his crew.

Michael Cobley was born in Leicester, England, and has spent the majority of his life in Glasgow, Scotland. He has a background in engineering, has worked as a DJ, and is passionate about democratic politics. The Shadowkings dark fantasy trilogy and Iron Mosaic, a short tale collection, are two of his past works. His first full-length attempts into space opera were Seeds of Earth, The Orphaned Worlds, and The Ascending Stars, novels one, two, and three of the Humanity's Fire series.
