    About this ebook

    The future of humanity hangs in the balance as the Indomitable has taken over and it's up to the Creative to lead the revolution.

     

    But when the Creative is captured and wounded, their last hope dies - until a brave soul volunteers for the sacrifice.

     

    Little Sister, or Little One as she's known, must put aside her doubts and step up to save humanity.

     

    This fast-paced sci-fi story is perfect for fans of the Illuminae Files trilogy, as it shares the same themes of survival and transcendence. If you enjoyed those books, you'll love The Creative. Buy it now!
