Accidental Astronaut 4
Victory was supposed to mean peace.
After defeating the Archon and returning from certain death, Jack Schafer should finally be able to rest beside the woman he loves. Instead, he discovers a cruel bargain already in motion. An ancient machine intelligence is consuming Dr. Manheim from the inside, and the only way to save him may be to restore a weapon capable of erasing entire civilizations.
Desperate for another path, Jack leads a perilous journey into High Shahin, a mountain citadel where silent wings rule the sky and prisoners are never meant to leave. What he finds there will change everything—not just for Manheim, but for the future of Dravos itself.
Because some evils don't die.
They wait.
And when they rise again, they demand a higher price than anyone is ready to pay.

not so much
The character Sarai did not seem to fit into the role she played in this book. The authors did not convince me that her background qualified her to work on the world reaver weapon. There other things about the character that did not seem to fit with the story but the world reaver connection seemed more out of place than anything else.
