The Universe After drops its characters into a galaxy that’s been broken and remade. The pulse disabled advanced technology on most worlds, and now different civilizations operate at vastly different tech levels — some back to swords and steam, others still spacefaring. Drew Williams follows Jane Kamali, a woman on a mission to find gifted children before the forces that caused the pulse can exploit them.
The Stars Now Unclaimed launches the story, A Chain Across the Dawn and The Firmament of Flame expand it into full-scale galactic conflict. The series earned comparisons to Mass Effect and Firefly for its mix of action, humor, and diverse ensemble cast.
