A note for parents

Exordia is a complex adult science fiction novel with dark themes, intense action sequences, and heavy psychological content centered on trauma and survival. While it features diverse characters and explores meaningful themes of resilience, the narrative contains significant violence, mature emotional content, and disturbing imagery that make it unsuitable for younger readers. The book is best suited for mature teens and adults with tolerance for challenging, character-driven storytelling.

Michael Crichton meets Marvel’s Venom in award-winning author Seth Dickinson’s science fiction debut, named one of The New York Times' Best SFF Books of 2024. "Agonizing and mesmerizing, a devastating and extraordinary achievement."—The New York Times “Magnificent. . . . A science fiction action juggernaut.”—Tamsyn Muir “Anna, I came to Earth tracking a very old story, a story that goes back to the dawn of time. It’s very unlikely that you’ll die right now. It wouldn’t be narratively complete.” Anna Sinjari—refugee, survivor of genocide, disaffected office worker—has a close encounter that reveals universe-threatening stakes. Enter Ssrin, a many-headed serpent alien who is on the run from her own past. Ssrin and Anna are inexorably, dangerously drawn to each other, and their contact reveals universe-threatening stakes. While humanity reels from disaster, Anna must join a small team of civilians, soldiers, and scientists to investigate a mysterious broadcast and unknowable horror. If they can manage to face their own demons, they just might save the world. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
