The Defy the Stars trilogy is set in a future where Earth has colonized other planets and fights to control their resources. Noemi Vidal is a soldier from Genesis, a colony world that wants its independence. Abel is the most sophisticated mech ever built, abandoned for decades on a derelict ship. When Noemi finds Abel, she plans to use him as a weapon, but Abel is far more human than any machine should be.

The three books follow Noemi and Abel across the galaxy as they try to find a peaceful solution to an interplanetary war. Gray uses the sci-fi premise to explore questions about consciousness, free will, and what it means to be alive.
