Failed Extinction: Death of a System
Not yet published
Expected 13 Mar 26Atlas has grown used to a simple life, one not uncommon to many Zin. He lives in the mines illegally farming minerals for profit under the watchful eye of Granite. Despite the lack of memories, he lives in accepted ignorance, careful to hide what makes him the ability to feel and manipulate matter. That is, until the political uprisings begin.
Selena leads her people, disgraced by war and forgotten by history. The Sarvum are near the edge of becoming obsolete. In a desperate final move to save her kind, she plots to overthrow the powers that be. If all goes according to plan, she will lead her people to power once more. There's a catch. To do so, she must resurrect a man the system hoped was buried forever and convince him to fight for her cause.
Atlas and Selena stand on opposite sides of the entanglement; victory could mean the saving or annihilation of the galaxy. The alliance is in turmoil, the balance of power is broken, and the dead will come back to hunt the living. Somewhere between lost memories and destiny, the past is clawing its way back.
This is book one of the Failed Extinction Trilogy.

Review of advance copy
Failed Extinction: Death of a System by Kyle Voss completely pulled me in.
Set in a fractured galaxy where political systems are collapsing and entire civilizations are fighting not to be erased, this story feels both expansive and intimate. The worldbuilding is layered with rebellion, buried history, and the quiet tension of a universe on the brink.
But what truly stayed with me were the characters.
Atlas, carrying lost memories and a power he barely understands.
Selena, fierce and desperate to save her people from extinction.
They stand on opposite sides of something inevitable, and you can feel the weight of every decision they make.
The side characters deserve honorable mentions too. They aren’t just there to fill space. Each one adds texture to the world and emotional weight to the story, making the stakes feel real and lived-in rather than distant or abstract.
I loved these characters. Their pain felt real. Their determination felt earned. The emotional impact sneaks up on you and lingers long after you close the book.
This isn’t just about war or systems failing. It’s about identity, sacrifice, and what it costs to fight for a future when the past has already taken so much.
This debut has heart, ambition, and teeth. I’m genuinely excited to see where this trilogy goes next.
ARC.
