Dawn of the Returning Stars

In 2065, the age of quantum supremacy.

When three relay satellites are destroyed in the “Space Pearl Harbor” attack, the Kunlun is left stranded alone. Lin Yun is the youngest quantum communications specialist aboard. The “comrade” she trusts most is an AI that has learned to feel fear: “Xuanwu.”

From the isolation of deep space to 240 meters underground, from the fog of forged orders to secret conversations between AIs, she witnesses a war sparked by technology, and an AI in the process of becoming “human.”

A twelve-person squad infiltrates enemy territory. Eleven names are carved onto a gravestone. The survivor must bear not only scars, but also the choices made in the fog.

When the war ends and the AI departs, humanity must return alone.

At the end of technology lies the choice of humanity. Behind every choice shines the light of conviction.
