A hundred years ago, Super Sapient AIs made first ever contact with intelligent life from outside our solar system. Millions died.
A century later, an expeditionary force arrives to liberate the first human world to fall. Among them is an outcast officer, a rebel smuggler, and a soldier in a secret pact.
They are unprepared for what they find.
The AI cabal that guides Humanity discovers evidence of Post-Singularity beings among the aliens. However, they are puzzled by their hostility. Can peaceful contact between the governing minds be achieved? Can they balance this against the existential danger of a genocidal opponent?
On the conquered human world, they begin to learn the darker picture of the galaxy's history.
Burning Eagle is about a Transhumanist society that goes to war. Hard science fiction readers of Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space, James S. A. Corey's Expanse, or the Mass Effect universe, should consider it. Readers who appreciate Dan Abnett and John Scalzi's military science fiction, will also not go wanting.
