C. A. Higgins’s acclaimed book Lightless fused suspenseful storytelling, high-caliber technological speculation, and richly developed characters right into a stunning research fiction epic. Now the amazing Supernova heightens the thrills and deepens the haunting exploration of technology and humanity-and the results that await when the two intersect.

Once Ananke was an experimental army spacecraft. But a rogue trojan transformed it-her-into something a lot more: a completely sentient about Supernova artificial intelligence, with all the power of the god-and all of the unpredictable emotions of a teenager.

Althea, the ship’s engineer and the last living human aboard, nearly provided her life to save lots of Ananke from harmful saboteurs, forging a relationship as effective as that between mother and daughter. Today she devotes herself completely to Ananke’s treatment. But teaching a considering, feeling machine-perhaps the most dangerous pressure in the galaxy-to become individual proves a monumental concern. When Ananke decides to search out Matthew Gale, the terrorist she relation as her dad, Althea discovers that some bonds are stronger than mortal minds can understand-or control.

Drawn back again toward Earth with the search, Althea and Ananke will find themselves in the solid of the violent revolution led by Matthew’s sister, the charismatic head Constance, who will stop at nothing at all to bring down a tyrannical surveillance state. As the currents of past decisions and present desires enter into stark collision, a new and fiery potential is going to be born.
