Description
Embark on a gripping journey into the cosmos as fates intertwine in a battle for survival.
In the near future, Earth is visited by the Kir, an immortal friendly advanced civilization who, along with several others, have been the target of the Va'lo, a scarcity driven species that shares a similar history with humans. The Kir find themselves unprepared to combat the violence of the Va'lo and offer a fire-with-fire proposal: a blueprint of how the Va'lo society broke through their natural barriers, in exchange for a small group of human consultants who would travel into deep space to assist with developing strategies based on their own scarcity developed nature.
Finton Glass, a mid-level but promising engineer, is qualified to be one of the consultants. He's coupled with his Kiran partner, Ana, and the pair develop a fierce bond. When the transport carrying the human delegation is ambushed, Fin’s mission changes from consultation to survival.
Follow Finton Glass into darkness, where unity is dangerous, peace is defiance, and safe haven is a memory.

Featured Reviews
A compelling science fiction novel that delves into the depths of the cosmos, weaving a tale of survival, unity, and sacrifice. In a future where Earth is visited by advanced civilizations, the clash between the Kir and the Va'lo sets the stage for a high-stakes battle. Finton Glass, a skilled engineer, finds himself at the center of this conflict as he and his Kiran partner, Ana, navigate treacherous terrain in deep space. What starts as a mission to offer consultation quickly transforms into a gripping struggle for their very lives. Innes skillfully crafts a narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, immersing them in a world where peace and survival are at odds, and unity comes at a dangerous cost. Relict is a thrilling journey that invites readers to ponder the complexities of human nature and the lengths we're willing to go to protect what we hold dear.
Whoa, hold onto your spacesuits because Relict by Joshua Innes is like a wild rollercoaster ride through space! Imagine Earth being visited by these super advanced beings, the Kir, and then they get into this huge showdown with the Va'lo – it's like action-packed right from the start. Finton Glass, the main guy, is just your regular engineer, but he ends up on this crazy mission with his Kiran buddy, Ana. And let me tell you, things go from 'let's give advice' to 'let's survive this madness' real quick. The book's like a mix of adrenaline, danger, and a whole lot of heart. You'll be glued to the pages as they face challenges that make you question what you'd do in their shoes. If you're into sci-fi that's not afraid to get deep and make you think, Relict is a must-read
