From G. Allen Thompson comes a powerful military science fiction retelling of Homer's Odyssey.
When the gods fell silent, one man chose to make sure they never spoke again.
Ulysses Kairos was the fleet's quiet miracle-Athena's favored captain, the navigator Helen kept alive when routes should have unraveled. Then Paris stole Helen-not a woman, but ninety-seven exabytes of living infrastructure that tuned the faster-than-light lattice holding human civilization together. Six fleets laid siege to Troy Station to bring her home. Two years of corridor wars ended with a single, impossible order: destroy the station, the restoration matrix, and Helen herself-before a resurrected Zeus could rise to chain humanity forever. Ulysses fired the torpedo. Twenty-eight lattice nodes died in a cascading scream of broken divinity. The Pantheon went dark. And the greatest war hero in human space became its most hunted war criminal.
Now, cut off in a fractured galaxy, Ulysses turns his battered ship toward Ithaca and the family who may no longer remember his face. Every jump is a gamble through failing gates and haunted code. Poseidon's fragmented wrath stalks their signal. Allies become scavengers. Mercy becomes a cost they can't afford. From dead depots rigged to punish thieves to Cyclops-class constructs on blind patrol, from the Storm Gates mapped by a lighthouse keeper of lost routes to a memory-bending sanctuary where pain can be edited away, Ulysses must lead a dwindling crew through a gauntlet of choices that trade pieces of his soul for one more day of survival. And on a distant station, Penelope holds a fragile republic together as suitors circle and years unspool, betting her people's future against the faith that a single ship can still find home through a universe with no gods left to guide it.
A sweeping reinvention of the Odyssey set among broken stars, THE GODS WENT SILENT marries big-idea science fiction with intimate, human stakes: love against time dilation, duty against regret, and the terrible arithmetic of a captain who saves billions by damning himself. For readers who crave star-spanning battles grounded in moral complexity, sentient infrastructures that feel like lost friends, and a homecoming that must be earned one impossible decision at a time, this is an odyssey you won't forget.
Perfect for readers of James S. A. Corey, Ann Leckie, and Neil Gaiman.
