About this listen
But the chronon stream is failing, reality fractures, and the surface world's recklessness threatens catastrophe.
Lyra Alastor, a brilliant, cynical architect tasked with stabilizing the timestream, is caught between a rigid Council clinging to dogma, whispers of a dangerous conspiracy led by the enigmatic Kael, and the echoes of forgotten conflicts.
As Aevum falters and buried histories resurface, Lyra must race against a collapsing timeline to expose the truth, confronting technological disaster and the very nature of existence itself before time runs out.

The more they discover about this species with a cute-sounding name, the less they like what they uncover. They encounter several new and very different aliens along the way, but the enigma of the portal remains unsolved.

Story
Since Rob’s childhood accident, electronics feel like extensions of his own body. Networks, cellphones, computers. He can sense them, control them, bend them to his will. In a world governed by a distributed superintelligence, that makes Rob a target. When a rogue AI begins manipulating global systems, Rob finds himself caught in a war he didn’t see coming. A powerful cartel, a collapsing world order, and a fractured artificial god all converge on one truth: someone has to fight back. Rob’s about to discover just how far he’s willing to go to stop it.
