The novel “Eyes of the Void” by Adrian Tchaikovsky was published for the first time in 2022. It’s the second book in The Final Architecture series and follows “Shards of Earth”.

The Architects are back and more destructive than ever because even the ancient artifacts that once repelled them don’t work anymore. Humanity had united in the war against the Architects fought forty years earlier but now it seems more divided than ever into factions and none of them can face the new invasion on its own.

Idris is the Intermediary who had brought humanity’s most important victory against the Architects and is the one who discovered some of their secrets. For some isolationist factions, he’s a tool to be used while he wants to continue investigating the enemy, and to do so he must travel through unspace again.
