Legacy

When ancient living machines suddenly awaken after millennia of dormancy, explorer Holati Tate vanishes without a trace. His closest associate, Trigger Argee, is determined to find him—but she's walking straight into a deadly mystery that spans worlds and factions. Brilliant, beautiful, and a master of martial arts, Trigger possesses skills that make her invaluable to multiple dangerous groups, each with their own agenda. As she navigates this complex web of intrigue, she begins to suspect that the long-extinct Masters of the Old Galaxy had good reason for their ancient exile of the plasmoids to the galaxy's most remote and isolated world. In this classic science fiction novel, James Schmitz crafts a gripping tale of exploration, conspiracy, and cosmic secrets. The story unfolds as Trigger discovers that the reawakening of these mysterious machines is no accident—and that her search for Tate may cost her everything.

Perfect for fans of vintage science fiction who appreciate intelligent heroines, intricate plots, and high-stakes adventure, Legacy delivers a compelling narrative that questions what it means to uncover truths that were meant to stay buried. This timeless audiobook showcases Schmitz's mastery of speculative fiction and remains remarkably relevant to modern audiences exploring themes of power, knowledge, and survival.
