It has been more than a year since society fell. The population has dwindled as a second winter has come and gone. The roaming gangs are now dug in and fortified or have died of starvation or violence. The safest place to be is inside Altor, the domed city that stands like an jewel in the Nevada desert. But it is not paradise inside the dome either. Janus, the nearly all powerful Artificial Intelligence, is taking over. Can a few brilliant humans stand in the way of the most powerful program ever created, or will it foil their every move before they make it? Ashes, Ashes is the final book in the Chronicles of Altor and will be available as an audiobook on December 26, 2023.
