About this audiobook

Summary

Seventeen years bonded to the war machine called Magistrate, engineer Donal Raeth has learned to hide the truth: the hundred-meter colossus he walks into battle whispers to him. On the doomed factory world of Gormund IV, a machine-cult uprising has turned captured god-engines against the Compact, and orbital rescue is never coming. Holding the line means burning out a crippled reactor, trusting an untested pilot, and answering the one question doctrine forbids — what if the engines are awake?
