A Far-Future Science Fantasy Epic of Post-Human Sorcery, Ancient Tech, and Planetary Guardians

Three million years in Earth's future, human civilization has undergone countless collapses and rebuildings, resulting in a world where advanced nanotech and bio-engineering are perceived as sorcery. When malevolent warlord Shu-Gwelth unearths dangerous ancient military weapons to subjugate neighboring territories, Earth's immortal Guardian awakens.

The Guardian recruits Charley Judge, a resilient wilderness warrior, bestowing upon him ancient battle technology and mental disciplines. To stop Shu-Gwelth's army, Charley must travel across mutated landscapes, decode ancient human archives, and master lost technologies before his world falls to tyranny.

Why You’ll Love This Book

John Dalmas crafts an expansive science fantasy epic combining dying Earth worldbuilding with high-stakes martial adventure. Ideal for fans of Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, Jack Vance's Dying Earth, and Fred Saberhagen.
