Series
The Shooter Cycle
Three centuries of consequence in a world that already ended.
Humanity did not end. It was reduced, and then it kept arguing. The Cycle spans the Drift Compacts, the long silence of the Outer Registry, and the institutions built out of wreckage to remember what nobody agreed happened.
