Reliquary of the Dead	All the Stars as Angels

Pierre Gulet, an eccentric and uniquely intuitive French archaeologist, is living in 25th century Egypt but is fixated on the past. After centuries, Egypt is still Egypt-the pyramids, the donkey carts, the unfinished high rises, the rancid stench of garbage, the systemic corruption. Pierre was excavating the find of a lifetime, a pre-dynastic temple beneath an Old Kingdom fortress, until he was called into the office of the Director of Antiquities who takes away his life’s work, blacklists him, and drives him into exile onto a distant world, a small colony struggling for survival on the edge of outer space. Pierre must now solve a mystery that has baffled traditional scientists for decades, an agricultural blight that has decimated the food supply of a colony on Gliese 832 c. Driven by a desire to make a discovery no one can take away from him, he must use his unique skills to save the future of a planet that is on the precipice of disaster. But as he seeks to uncover the truth, he is opposed by intransigent colonists, jealous predecessors, and an ancient power lurking deep in the earth. The more he discovers, the more he is vilified, and the more determined he becomes to discover what is at the heart of the blight. Should he fail, everyone in the colony dies. RELIQUARY OF THE DEAD is the first book in the WAR OF THE GODS series, inspired by Sherlock Holmes, Indiana Jones, and the cosmic mythos of the ancient Near East.

In a future where humanity’s survival hangs by a thread, one android must navigate the treacherous waters of loyalty, identity, and the dark secrets of the universe. Meet Niva, an unassuming service android aboard the MegaAI Orion S209, a colossal starship dedicated to exploring the cosmos and aiding struggling human colonies. But when a routine mission to retrieve the infamous Pierre Gulet spirals into chaos, Niva is thrust into a deadly game of survival. Set in AD 2498, Niva’s journey begins on the distant exoplanet Gliese 832 c, where Pierre, once a celebrated hero of the Arish colony, now finds himself a target. With factions lining up to eliminate him – his former friends, the colonists, and shadowy forces from the distant past – Niva must confront the unsettling truth about her own existence and the purpose of her creation. As she grapples with her identity among thousands of identical Nivas, she discovers her connection to humanity runs deeper than mere programming. But the stakes are higher than they seem. The Great AI, the enigmatic supercomputer steering the Orion, has its own agenda, and it is up to Niva to decipher its cryptic intentions while protecting Pierre at all costs. As a dark conspiracy looms around a distant giant orange star, a conclave of MegaAI starships gathers to decide their fate – will they continue to serve humanity or choose a different path altogether? All the Stars as Angels is a thrilling exploration of what it means to be alive, to love, and to defy the very nature of one’s existence. Join Niva on a gripping adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat, questioning the boundaries of humanity and the role of artificial intelligence in a universe filled with peril. Don’t miss out on this captivating tale – dive into the cosmos with Niva and Pierre and uncover a truth that could change everything.
