Mars is under threat. Only one man can stop it. Trouble is… he’s dead.
When a mysterious attack cuts Mars Colony off from Earth, one man’s consciousness is left stranded inside the planet’s experimental AI system. Toby Octavius Shaw was a builder, an optimist, and a loyal friend. Now, he’s something more.
Reborn as “Gus,” an artificial intelligence with human instincts, he must confront the moral weight of leadership, the threat of invasion, and the fragile trust of the humans he once called friends.
Inspired by the legacy of one of history’s greatest rulers, Gus guides the colony through betrayal, transformation, and the dawn of a new kind of civilisation.
