Across the forests and deserts of a post-apocalyptic outback Australia, the quest for answers and salvation begins.

Jake, Marcus, and their small tribe of survivors have acquired an airship, a medical pod, and most strangely of all, an iridescent blue friend; the mysteriously wise and powerful Adam.

For the moment, they survive in obscurity from the watchful gaze of Eve, the malevolent A.I. with its eyes in the sky. As they grasp for answers and a meaning to all the carnage, they discover a clue that starts them on a daring quest; Adam may not be the only one of his kind.

Across oceans and time the mystery of philosopher Jeremy Delacroix begins to unravel, as his role at the very heart of the robotic revolution becomes clear.

Amidst the trials of both timelines, a new player emerges, one far more puzzling and formidable than Adam.

Who is Marduk?

And what happened to Eli Wells and Jeremy Delacroix?
