Gods Among Insects (Deus Ex Machina)

When the world ends, it won't be with a whisper — it'll be caught on camera, uploaded, debated, suppressed, leaked, and streamed by billions. Seventeen-year-old Bright Addison thought his biggest problem was surviving senior year in Accra. Then a cosmic rift tore reality open and changed him forever. Across the world, others awakened to strange abilities — including Samantha, a runaway with a past full of shadows and a future tied to the stars. And somewhere beneath Antarctica, a woman named Savia'a emerged from the void, radiant and terrifying, hunted by a secret global organization known only as The Engineers. But her arrival was not the beginning. Something darker woke first. A monstrous entity, summoned in desperation at Area-51, broke free of its earthly host and vanished into the sky. It spreads like living night, devouring everything it touches. And it knows Savia'a. It hates her. Their clash is ancient — and unfinished. As governments collapse into chaos, conspiracies unravel in real time, and ordinary people begin developing powers of their own, Bright and Samantha are forced into a war far older and larger than humanity itself. Guided by fractured visions of the future, hunted by traitors, and burdened with a destiny they never asked for, the two teens stand between Earth and annihilation. The final battle will not be fought in secret. It will happen on the streets of New York. Live. In front of the world. But even gods fall. And sometimes, the only way to save the universe… is to break it. GODS AMONG INSECTS: DEUS EX MACHINA is a reality-bending, cosmic action epic where science, mythology, conspiracy and raw human emotion collide — and nothing, not even time, stays in one piece.
