Exordia

Exordia by Seth Dickinson:

Bold, brash and brilliantly chaotic, Exordia hurls you into a universe‑scale nightmare of alien hydra‑serpents, nuclear apocalypse, moral collapse and refugee trauma. It’s equal parts high‑octane thriller and philosophical gut punch: think Michael Crichton meets cosmic horror meets geopolitical carnage.

The characters are vivid, the stakes are massive, and the book ripples with ideas you’ll chew on long after you finish. That said: it’s dense, brutal and sometimes wildly overstuffed — if you’re not in the mood for a brain‑bending, slide‑into‑chaos journey, this one might exhaust you. But if you’re ready for a sci‑fi ride that doesn’t pull punches, Exordia delivers in spades.
