Breaking Colossus

"Matt Wright's storytelling conveys the real scope and sense of wonder of great space opera. Breaking Colossus takes you on a journey as big as your imagination." —Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Between the Stars "A fast-paced, galaxy-spanning space opera adventure filled with intrigue and political maneuvering. A solid outing from Mr. Wright!" —Christopher Ruocchio, author of The Sun Eater series A son's quest. A mother's fight. A father's descent. Grey Soleis ended the war by crossing every line the Ascendancy claimed to uphold. He disobeyed orders. He went rogue. He even attempted to destroy an entire world—because he believed the alternative was worse… Now the war is over. And the Ascendancy wants a war criminal. When Grey vanishes without a trace, his son Roth faces an impossible choice: stay loyal to the military that raised him, or choose his family—and be branded a traitor in wartime, a sentence that means one thing: death. As insurrection spreads across their homeworld, his mother Alora fights to bring her husband back before the Ascendancy rewrites Grey's legend into a warning—and before Roth is forced to decide what Grey really is: the hero they built a monument for…or the criminal they need him to be. A space opera twist on Homer's Odyssey, Breaking Colossus brings the epic to the edge of the universe for fans of Frank Herbert, Dan Simmons, and James S. A. Corey.
