Humanity is on the verge of extinction. Earth’s civilization has immolated itself in nuclear fire, ending a century of political chaos and environmental decay. The last survivors of the human race watch helplessly from space as their homeworld burns, and with it, their only chance of survival.

Praise for Oblivion’s Shadow
“Dylan McFadyen's adept, vivid storytelling in Oblivion's Shadow launches you into an enthralling journey of discovering the fate of humanity after a near-extinction level apocalypse. With compelling characters and thoroughly researched technology, McFadyen weaves a space tale that is at once suspenseful, thoughtful, and believable; a remarkable feat that seems so rare. Its intellectuality is tinged with emotion, and its darkness is tinged with hope. It completely surpassed my expectations, and kept me guessing right until the very end. At its core, Oblivion's Shadow is an exploration of humanity's strengths—and flaws. I have no doubt that it will captivate sci-fi lovers and skeptics alike.”
