A gripping, post-apocalyptic sci-fi graphic novel from acclaimed universe-builder Ben Mauro, perfect for fans of Dune and Star Wars.

Built on the ashes of a nuclear holocaust, a once thriving world ruined by generations of planetary wars now lies in perpetual waste. To save humanity from itself, the remaining A.I. bred and cloned elite humans as workers, soldiers, and enforcers—armoured warriors known as Ronin—to help keep order and give humanity a purpose in this 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 again.

While humanity limps on in this new world, the lives of two soldiers, Max and Kai, become irreversibly intertwined on a routine mission upon discovering an ancient sentient robot known as Huxley in the wastelands of a desolate planet. These two post-apocalyptic scavengers suddenly find themselves thrust into a mystery of a galactic scale, and as the saga unfolds, the reader begins to unravel Huxley's true purpose.

Ben Mauro's stunning debut adventure sets the stage for an exciting new sci-fi universe for readers and fans of the genre to enjoy and fall in love with.
