The Prometheus Cipher

In a galaxy caged by ancient technology, a scavenger’s life is shattered when he bonds with a parasitic alien nanoweapon. Marked as a pawn in a cosmic gambit played by god-like AIs, he is hunted across derelict starships and neon-drenched cities. Guided by a mysterious, beautiful android whose loyalty is a weapon in itself, he must master the living abyss within him to survive. From a desperate fugitive to a rebel warlord, he forges an empire among the stars, only to discover his entire life is a lie. Faced with a universe-devouring horror, he must rise to become a savior, but the ultimate battle is for his soul: to embrace godhood or reclaim the love and humanity sacrificed for power.
