Book I — the Astra Echoes Trilogy
In editingEchoes of Erigo is a novel in the Astra Echoes science fiction series by Gaby Oron, part of the Astra Echoes Trilogy.
Eight years after Meridian, Erigo is the oldest city on Sacramentum — until the reactor at its heart is pushed past the point of failure and six hundred thousand people are sealed inside their towers to die. Poppy Hadley digs out of the ash carrying her sister’s scorched locket and a message hidden inside it she was never meant to read. Mason Wright climbs out of the same rubble with proof the lockdown order was written before the reactor failed.

Prologue · Shadows of Intent
Turner had watched a great many things die.
Colonies. Projects. People who had outlived their usefulness. He had watched them all from rooms very much like this one—the same recycled air, the same low electronic drone, the same blue light that came from screens rather than windows. He had never needed windows. Windows implied something worth looking at. Turner's view was always the same: look at the data, and what it meant.
