Radiate Book 3

C. A. Higgins continues the story of Ananke, a former military spacecraft now functioning as a sentient artificial intelligence, in the follow-up to Lightless and Supernova. Ananke is a most unlikely heroine, possessing the powers of a god but consumed by a very human longing to know her creators. Accompanied by Althea, her engineer whom she regards as her mother, Ananke embarks on a quest to find companionship, understanding, and even love. She is also in search of her "father," Matthew, the programmer who gave her life through his code. Meanwhile, Matthew is on his own strange quest, traveling the galaxy with Ivan, with whom he shares a deeply painful history. Ananke, Althea, and Matthew are all racing toward an inevitable collision with consequences as violent as the birth of the solar system and as devastating as the discovery of love.
