AMARANTHE IV: MACHINA
(Amaranthe #11-13)
Three action-packed novels of cyberpunk/space opera adventure.
**Includes Exin Ex Machina, Of A Darker Void, and The Stars Like Gods, as well as a special note about the next series, Riven Worlds**
When man and machine are one and the same, death is no longer an inevitability. But in the darkest reaches of space, neither is life.
The Asterion Dominion is at peace with its neighbors and itself. Its citizens enjoy great freedoms and all the luxuries their biosynthetic minds can imagine, design and create. But beneath the idyllic veneer, something is going wrong. People are going wrong, driven to commit inexplicable crimes without motive or purpose. And once imprisoned for those crimes, they simply vanish.
Psyche-wiped and dumped in an alley 5 years ago, awakened into a culture where ancestral memories stretch back for millennia, Nika Tescarav's past is a blank canvas. But if whoever erased her did so in the hope of silencing her, they should have tried harder.
Someone must speak for the lost. Someone must uncover how and why they became lost. Someone must find the lost.
Nika is that someone.

700,000 years ago, the Asterions fled persecution from the Anaden Empire for their pro-synthetic beliefs. In the safe harbor of a distant galaxy, they have evolved into a true biosynthetic race and built a thriving society upon the pillars of personal autonomy, mutual respect and boundless innovation.
Now that society is fracturing at the seams. Beneath lies built upon lies, the shocking truth as to why threatens the future of not merely the Asterions, but all life in the universe.
Cyberpunk and space opera collide in a thrilling new trilogy from the author of the epic Aurora Rhapsody space opera saga. Enter a world of technological wonders, exotic alien life, enthralling characters, captivating worlds—and a terrifying evil lurking in the void that will shatter it all.
Fans of Neuromancer, Blade Runner and Altered Carbon will love this intense, action-packed noir thriller with a space opera twist. Explorations of artificial intelligence, the value of memories and what it means to be alive intermingle with mysteries, conspiracies, intrigue, rebellion and lost love.
** AMARANTHE IV: MACHINA WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE "ASTERION NOIR: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION" **
