Edge of Extinction: An Epic Space Opera

Landon J. Riley

Survival. Sacrifice. Defiance.

The galaxy is dying. The Harvesters—immortal, godlike, and relentless—move through the interwoven veins of black holes, waiting in the frozen depths of time as their civilization ascends beyond comprehension.

To them, humanity is nothing more than a tool, a resource to be farmed, reset, and enslaved in an eternal cycle of conquest. Entire star systems have vanished, their suns extinguished, their people harvested.

Jaxon Trent, a rogue turned pirate captain, refuses to surrender. Rallying outlaws and deserters, he fights a war humanity cannot win.

Captain Thalia, aboard the warship Daybreak, struggles to hold the fractured remains of the fleet together, even as desperation breeds rebellion within their ranks.

And Orla, a rogue AI, carries secret knowledge stolen from an alien artifact—truths so dangerous they could unravel what little hope remains.

But the galaxy’s greatest secret lies buried in the ruins of an ancient civilization, one that faced the Harvesters before. Guided by Quint—a Harvester outcast—and Annie, Jaxon’s estranged daughter, this mismatched group of outlaws and dreamers must uncover a weapon locked within the enigmatic Sirius Orb.

As the Harvesters close in, humanity’s fate will be decided. Time itself bends to their will.

Can their hold on time be broken? Or are we already lost?
