Humanity thought they chained the last god. Now its weapons are waking.
Humanity chained the last god. But the god is waking up. They worshiped it as the Vigil, burned its ancient mind to cross the stars, and built a Dominion of ten thousand worlds on it.
Cade Medeiros was forged in the frozen dark of an asteroid war school. He and his squad were built to be sent into the collapsing fronts on the galaxy’s rim. Then on his graduation day insurgents ambush the cadets. In the chaos of combat, a mutation the Vigil buried in Cade wakes under his skin and turns him into a weapon he calls the Echo.
The Dominion's executioners will carve him open to dissect the machinery threaded through his nerves. Fanatical insurgents will butcher worlds to weaponize him. To keep his squad alive, Cade must use the alien seed festering in his marrow but at the same time he comes back less human and his squad starts to feel like a burden.
For readers of Red Rising and Warhammer 40,000, The Echo Weapon is dark, squad-driven military science fiction.
