FABRICANTS: A Quantum Sci-Fi Technothriller
They were sent to build a new world—now they’re tearing it apart...
Fabricants, the second installment in the gripping Manifold Series, resumes the epic sci-fi drama that began in Scott A. Young’s first novel, Selfies. Awakening from stasis on their galaxy-crossing colonial voyage, Commanders Trapp and Bretta are confronted by a gruesome mystery. Hundreds of Fabricants, the colony’s synthetic workforce, have been inexplicably disassembled into neat, lifeless piles. And the few survivors? They’ve become crazed killers.
What plague has caused these Fabricants to go rogue, inducing them to raze the colony? How can Trapp keep his crew safe while curing the rogue Fabricants? And, with the fates of two worlds in the balance, can he find the connection to the Manifold, the cryptic power source that nearly killed him years ago? Or is the human race destined to be destroyed by its own creation—a race of beings more powerful and intelligent than their creators?
Perfect for fans of The Expanse and the mind-bending thrillers of Blake Crouch and Andy Weir, Fabricants delivers high-stakes sci-fi where survival is never guaranteed—and the truth may be humanity’s undoing.

Fabricants is the second installment in the thrilling Manifold Series, a veritable space opera that lets its characters shine through a series of non-stop adventures. While Fabricants is science fiction, it's also deeply invested in its protagonists and comes together as a story that's mind-bending, invigorating, and full of personal growth. If you like multiverse narratives, strong female protagonists, and a solid dose of cheeky humor, this is the book for you!
I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Scott A. Young on this novel, and I'm so happy with the final product. I hope you are too!
