To save humanity from itself, the remaining AI-bred and cloned elite humans are trained to become workers, soldiers, and enforcers—armored warriors known as Ronin—to help keep order and give humanity a purpose in this brave new world. After a certain age, the clones start to think for themselves and are sent on increasingly dangerous missions until they are killed or "retired," replaced by younger and more compliant clones, until the cycle repeats itself. While humanity limps on, the lives of two soldiers, Max and Kai, become intertwined on a routine mission upon discovering an ancient sentient robot known as Huxley, and soon find themselves caught up in a mystery of galactic scale, as the robot's true purpose is revealed... This thrilling sci-fi debut by artist and world-builder Ben Mauro sets the stage for an immersive postapocalyptic adventure that will leave you captivated and hungry for more.
