It begins with a quiet day at home, a new technology demonstrator, and a giant, impossible feather. When Wally Stanislaw, Deucado's preeminent scientist, and his wife vanish, Rome and Rei launch a search and rescue mission into the Eye of Deucado, a place no one truly understands.

Their mission goes wrong almost immediately when their space skiff crashes and sinks, along with all of their supplies, leaving them stranded with nothing but each other.

Cut off from technology and outside aid, Rome and Rei must rely on practical engineering and raw instinct to survive a world that should not exist. Surrounding them is a lethal, self-contained ecosystem of deadly, devolved predators: razor-taloned hell-chickens, aggressive wolf-dogs, lionettes, and sharp-toothed tilapacudas. Every step deeper into the crater reveals new threats, new mysteries, and a truth far larger than Deucado itself.

Rome's Devolution 3465 AD delivers high-intensity survival, deep biological speculation, and sweeping cosmic implications. It is a rollicking action-adventure hard-science epic driven by heart, intellect, and relentless discovery.

The book includes short interludes that recap the first five novels in the series for new readers, plus a bonus segment adapted from the novel Forging Rome about the forces that shaped the young girl Rome into the woman she became.
