Synopsis
Admiral Anoushka rose from nothing to command an army unrivaled in all the galaxies. She did not rise alone.
War between godlike machines is breaking out, and at its center is the AI who aided Anoushka’s ascent. Now payment has come calling: her closest allies are subverted, her body is twisted by poison that bends her toward madness, and her wife has been stolen.
The machines will devour the stars as they battle each other for the ultimate prize the next step in AI evolution, the key that will give them the universe. Yet Anoushka hasn’t survived this long to become collateral damage. She will fight until she no longer can . . . and she will take back what’s hers.
Part of: The Machine Mandate Series (Machine Mandate #5)
this series has been on my radar for a while – do you recommend reading them in order? really like the premise of this book
Every story is a self-contained narrative, but you’ll definitely pick up on cameos and hints to a greater mystery if you read them chronologically. As for this novel in particular, it follows the same pairing as Now Will Machines Hollow the Beast (Machine Mandate #2) and is set a few years after those events, so if you want to read Now Will Machines Devour the Stars asap, I’d suggest at least doing Now Will Machines Hollow the Beast –> Now Will Machines Devour the Stars (the Now Will storyline). I’ve grown to really love this series. Enjoy!! ❤️
