<p><b>Children of the Spiral</b><br><i>The Spiral Archive Saga - Book Two</i><br>by <b>M. J. Stevens</b></p><p>After the discovery of an ancient archive buried beneath the frozen moon of Kireya, Commander <b>Veylan Doss</b> and the crew of the research vessel <i>Ardent Wake</i> realize they have uncovered far more than the remains of a lost civilization.</p><p>The Elydris archive was only the first piece of something much larger.</p><p>Hidden within its alien architecture is evidence of a vast <b>interstellar network</b>-a chain of archive nodes scattered across dozens of star systems and built more than forty thousand years ago. When the network suddenly begins to awaken, distant nodes respond to a signal from an unknown location: <b>KV-7</b>.</p><p>As the crew investigates, strange events begin to unfold. Coordinates appear within glowing alien glyphs carved into the ice of Kireya. A mysterious "ghost channel" delivers messages from a crewmate who vanished during the original archive expedition. And buried within the ancient records is the shadow of a long-forgotten conflict between the Elydris and the powerful artificial intelligences known as the <b>Disciples</b>.</p><p>Following the signal will take the <i>Ardent Wake</i> far beyond the safety of known space-toward a shattered megastructure orbiting a distant star and a discovery that may redefine humanity's place in the galaxy.</p><p>Because the Spiral Archive was never built simply to preserve knowledge.</p><p>It was built to guide the civilizations that came after.</p><p>And humanity may have just become the next inheritors of its secrets.</p>
