Available from Scarlet Ferret

by Andrew Skinner

Read

Crash is an analyst, an operative of the Sigurd-Lem Corporation trained to prise the secrets from the ancient, alien ruins scattered across frontier space.

Crash's job has never been easy. The species that built these hollow cities, these eerie facilities, was annihilated in some great catastrophe, millennia ago.

Swallowed by something that still haunts these empty places.

One day, Crash receives a message. A signal that should have come another way, that should have said something different. The dreadnought Demiurge is calling home. The great vessel was sent into the deepest reaches of space—a sea of storms and chaos that many call 'the Eye'. There, battling between shrieking storms and corporate shells, it has found something that should better have stayed buried.

Crash sets off in pursuit, retracing the vessel's path, desperate to keep humanity from repeating a terrible mistake.

Origin Complex
by Andrew Skinner

This is the most stunning science fiction novel I've read in years. To see such scope and grandeur in an independent title makes my heart sing!

You'll come for the mechs and ancient alien horrors, but you'll stay for the archaeology and one of the best robot-human buddy pairings since Iain M. Banks' Culture series.
