The novel follows Owen Beck, an elite renegade pilot and former military commander. Devastated by the murder of his wife at the hands of a former friend, Ezrek Valleion, he's a man driven by a singular, desperate goal: to reclaim the life stolen from him. With his loyal, albeit cantankerous scouting drone, Tex, at his side, he navigates the dangers of space in his stealth starfighter, the Astra, on a determined search across the galaxy to discover the truth of a lost ancient civilization rumored to wield the power of time itself. Beck believes that if he can unlock their secrets, he might find a way to bring back the love of his life.
Haunted by the ghost of his wife's memory and relentlessly hunted by Ezrek's brutal army of augmented soldiers, Beck's pain transforms into a burning resolve-not only to exact revenge upon the treacherous Ezrek, but to also harness the ancient civilization's power before it falls into the wrong hands. As he delves deeper into the cosmos, he realizes the stakes are higher than his personal vendetta; the fate of the galaxy itself teeters on the brink...
Relic, an intricately woven science fiction adventure that blends the cyberpunk dystopia and cinematic noir of Blade Runner, the vast worldbuilding scope of Dune, the action and humor of Firefly, and the hard science of Interstellar and The Expanse.
