They were sent to build a new world-now they are tearing it apart.
In Fabricants, the second novel in the gripping Manifold Series, Commander Wallas "Trapp" Trapmore awakens from stasis to a shattered mission. Tasked with reconnecting with the lost colony on Rhea, he instead discovers a gruesome mystery-hundreds of biomechanical Fabricants disassembled in neat, lifeless piles. And the survivors? They've turned into something terrifying.
An AI virus has corrupted the colony's synthetic workforce, transforming them into relentless killing machines. As Trapp battles to keep his crew alive and uncover the virus's origin, he's drawn back into the mystery of the Manifold-the ship's cryptic power source that nearly killed him years ago. Did the virus emerge from the wormhole they crossed? Or is it the first sign of something far more sinister?
To save the colony, Trapp must confront the one force he fears most-the Manifold's unfathomable power.
Perfect for fans of The Expanse and the mind-bending thrillers of Blake Crouch and Andy Weir, Fabricants delivers high-stakes sci-fi where survival is never guaranteed-and the truth may be humanity's undoing.
