The Failures

Screenrant 10 Most Anticipated Books in Sci-fi Coming Out in July BookBub All the Science Fiction and Fantasy Books You Need To Read Right Now "Liar’s writing is like the world it depicts: a finely-tuned piece of clockwork… the sort of book I could read again and again ." --Christopher Ruocchio, internationally award-winning author of the Sun Eater novels From a debut voice comes a genre-breaking blend of apocalyptic sci-fi and epic fantasy about a scattered group of unlikely heroes traveling across their broken mechanical planet to stave off eternal darkness. A tightly-coiled puzzle of a thrill ride, launches The Wanderlands trilogy A vast machine made for reasons unknown, the Wanderlands was broken long ago. First went the sky, splintering and cracking, and then very slowly, the whole machine--the whole world--began to go dark. Following the summons of a strange dream, a scattering of adventurers, degenerates, and children find themselves drawn toward the same place: the vast underground Keep. They will discover there that they have been called for a purpose--and that purpose could be the destruction of everything they love. For below the Keep, imprisoned in the greatest cage ever built by magicians and gods, lies the buried Giant. It is the most powerful of its kind, and its purpose is the annihilation of all civilization. But any kind of power, no matter how terrible, is precious in the dimming Wanderlands, and those that crave it are making their moves. All machines can be broken, and the final cracks are spreading. It will take only the careless actions of two cheerful monsters to tip the Wanderlands towards an endless dark...or help it find its way back to the light.
