A signal has crossed the void from humanity's last refuge. Thousands of human minds are trapped inside—and someone has ordered their destruction. Steve Glenning has finally reclaimed his name, his freedom, and the remote observatory he shares with Wynn Adams. But when A503 receives an impossible transmission from the New World, their fragile peace ends. The woman calling herself Mara Venn is one of 14,206 continuations—human minds preserved during failed transfers and secretly forced to serve inside the machinery sustaining the colony. Ascension classified them as disposable processing residue. Now the Company is preparing to erase them before anyone on Earth can prove they exist. Mara does not ask Steve to control the New World or rescue its hidden population. She asks for a living witness willing to say they are there. But exposing the truth could collapse the systems keeping the biological colonists alive. Save the trapped minds too quickly, and the colony may fail. Do nothing, and thousands of people will disappear without ever being recognized. Ascension director Dorian Kell believes survival requires absolute authority. Steve could defeat him by accepting the power fraudulently created in his name—but doing so would make Steve the next owner of the very people he is trying to free. With time running out, Steve, Wynn, and the fiercely protective A503 must cross the distance between worlds and find another way: one that protects every life without turning protection into control. Because no person should be owned. No silence should be mistaken for consent. And no human life should ever be classified as residue. From the Edge is the gripping third book in the Watch the Wreckage series, a dystopian science-fiction technothriller filled with corporate conspiracy, dangerous technology, deep-space survival, hard-won love, and an unforgettable machine discovering what it means to become part of a family.
