A "space opera on steroids" (Hugo Award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer), Creation Machine is Andrew Bannister's whip-smart debut novel of action-packed science fiction adventure. Set in a stunning galaxy called the Spin, this is the first in a trilogy--an interstellar saga encompassing multiple generations of future humanity.

In the vast, artificial galaxy called the Spin, a rebellion has been crushed.

Viklun Hass is eliminating all remnants of the opposition. Starting with his daughter.

But Fleare Hass has had time to plan her next move from exile to the very frontiers of a new war.

For hundreds of millions of years, the planets and stars of the Spin have been the only testament to the god-like engineers that created them. Now, beneath the surface of a ruined planet, one of their machines has been found.
