Galactic

Drake Thornton was only trying to escape a life of digging ditches and find his own adventure. Instead, a routine warehouse job pulls him into secret experiments, living machines, hidden starships, and a war reaching across the multiverse. Now Drake, Yrrep, Rose, Sam, and an unlikely crew must stop Sapen before its version of perfection becomes a prison for every living world. GALACTIC. A complete standalone entry in the Myths & Dreams Saga. It wasn't built to destroy us. It was built to organize us. A general AI optimized for control and order. No hate. No mercy. Just a prime directive: domination. It has escaped into the Starweb, and every universe is on the table. Life and freedom are the same thing. You can't have one without the other. Divinity cares about the individual. The lowest one. The one with nothing to offer. Sapen only care about making you more efficient, healthy and under control. Where S-matter is dense, magic works. Where S-matter is thin, hard physics dominates. Earth was only the beginning. When humanity reaches beyond its own world, it discovers a universe older, stranger, and more connected than anyone imagined. Ancient ships, hidden powers, impossible choices, and the Starweb itself pull ordinary people into a galactic struggle where survival is not enough. To protect life, they must understand what connects it. GALACTIC expands the Myths and Dreams universe into the stars. See michaelhendersonjr. com for more information.
