What it offers
Educational value
A note for parents
This is a mature sci-fi novella featuring complex themes around war, trauma, and corruption rather than a story designed for younger readers. The protagonist is 17+ and deals with heavy subject matter including the aftermath of catastrophic destruction, substance abuse as coping, and morally compromised systems of power. While this sneak peek is only 58 pages, the full novel involves mecha warfare, AI deities, and exploitative power structures that suggest adult-oriented content throughout.

War machines and AI gods run amok in The Archive Undying, national bestseller Emma Mieko Candon's bold entry into the world of mecha fiction. Download a FREE sneak peek today! WHEN AN AI DIES, ITS CITY DIES WITH IT WHEN A CITY FALLS, IT LEAVES A CORPSE BEHIND WHEN THAT CORPSE RUNS OFF, ONLY DEVOTION CAN BRING IT BACK When the robotic god of Khuon Mo went mad, it destroyed everything it touched. It killed its priests, its city, and all its wondrous works. But in its final death throes, the god brought one thing back to life: its favorite child, Sunai. For the seventeen years since, Sunai has walked the land like a ghost, unable to die, unable to age, and unable to forget the horrors he's seen. He's run as far as he can from the wreckage of his faith, drowning himself in drink, drugs, and men. But when Sunai wakes up in the bed of the one man he never should have slept with, he finds himself on a path straight back into the world of gods and machines. The Archive Undying is the first volume of Emma Mieko Candon's Downworld Sequence, a sci-fi series where AI deities and brutal police states clash, wielding giant robots steered by pilot-priests with corrupted bodies. Come get in the robot. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
