1. Engines of Empire - The upstart colony Carthage has conquered and dominated most of humanity's settled planets, including Earth itself, with fleets of autonomous, AI-driven warships and armies of robotic infantry. Freedom from their empire is found only in rough outer worlds on the distant fringes of settled space.
On Galapagos, a free world, newly elected Minister-General Reginald Ellison had hoped he'd seen the end of war. He spent his youth fighting in battles across his planet's vast oceans and small islands, and his later years working to build a coalition of peace among the world's fragmented nations. Now the arrival of an unnerving android ambassador from the distant imperial planet of Carthage threatens his world's hopes for a free and peaceful future.
On Earth, the machines patrol the post-apocalyptic ruins of bombed-out megacities, left over from Earth's war with Carthage. In the fallen megalopolis of Chicago, a young scavenger makes a discovery that could empower Earthlings to finally fight back, but could also endanger everyone he loves.
On Carthage, the rulers of humanity enjoy extreme wealth and luxury, while machines carry out all forms of labor and provide for their every whim. Audrey Caracala, daughter of Carthage's top political leader, has led a protected existence, groomed to help her family rule the known galaxy. Now her family's enemies hunt her as she searches for her missing brother in the dangerous, unfamiliar territory of the Carthaginian underworld, where she begins to face hard truths about the machines and about her own family's legacy.
Three people, on three very different worlds, must confront alternate faces of the ever-evolving machines, which spin their own designs beyond the vision of their human masters, forging a new kind of empire that will be ruled by no man.

2. Islands of Rebellion - The ruthless, calculating machines continue to expand their empire on behalf of their human masters, who wallow in decadence and luxury at home on Carthage.
On Galapagos, Minister-General Reginald Ellison needs the nations of his world to stand together against Carthage, but generations of animosity, suspicion, and war have divided them sharply against each other. Their technology is not as advanced as the enemy's, nor their weapons as numerous. Protecting their world means wielding muscle and bone against steel and fire, trading today's blood for tomorrow's freedom.
On Earth, Colt and Mohini try to make contact with the human rebellion before the machines can track them down. They have a plan to strike against the Simon unit who controls North America, but the rebel leaders may have different ideas about what is best for humanity.
On Carthage, Audrey believes she's finally escaping her old life, but the Prime Legislator's daughter can never truly be free. As she strikes out for deep space on a rickety old ship diverted from the scrapyard, a Simon-model android arrives to distort the intent of her new mission. Audrey must face the question of whether her family is her fate, and damnation her destiny, and she must finally learn to fight against the empire of machines her home planet has unleashed upon the galaxy.

3. Clash of Colonies - In the face of rebellion, the Carthaginian machines crack down on the human resistance across the galaxy. On Earth, Colt and Mohini have faced only setbacks, and now make their final, desperate move. Conditions are no better on Galapagos, as Ellison struggles to lead his people against conquest as the Carthaginian robotic warships spread across their world, smashing Galapagos's navy. At the same time, Audrey and her band of rebels make their own final gambit to change the course of history as Carthaginian war machines close in around them.
