Synopsis
A mysterious object. A disastrous first contact. A war humanity is unprepared to fight.
In 2073, humanity discovers an extraordinary object buried beneath the ocean floor that may be the origin of life on Earth. Scientists call it HB-FLS-1. The public calls it the Hand of God.
When its signal reveals coordinates to an interstellar gateway, a mission into an unknown galaxy ends in violence. Now humanity is preparing to return, with orders that could mean the destruction of an alien species.
Leading the mission is Richter, an android soldier programmed to commit genocide but given the power of free will. On an alien world, he must choose between completing his mission and sparing the civilization he was sent to destroy.
Artificial intelligence and the moral consequences of war.
Written by Darin S. Cape and illustrated by Michel Fortin, The Killing Machine combines explosive military conflict with the scientific curiosity and philosophical depth of classic science fiction. Its richly imagined universe explores the origin of life, artificial intelligence and the moral consequences of war.
For readers drawn to the cerebral speculation of Arthur C. Clarke and the ambitious scope of Cixin Liu, this 164-page graphic novel delivers a complete adventure while opening the door to The Hand of God, an expansive space opera.

Seller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A thrilling fusion of classic sci-fi storytelling and modern graphic novel artistry, The Killing Machine delivers a gripping tale of war, identity, and first contact. As scientists unravel a mystery that defies the known laws of physics, humanity finds itself lured into a deadly encounter with an alien race, igniting a crisis of ethics, identity, and survival among Earth's leaders. Blending philosophical depth with explosive military space battles and richly imagined alien contact, The Killing Machine will appeal to fans of Star Trek, The Expanse, and classic sci-fi literature. Featuring vivid, cinematic artwork and a tightly woven narrative, this is a must-read for readers who crave substance with their spectacle. THE KILLING MACHINE succeeds because it understands that compelling science fiction is rarely about technology alone. Beneath the discussions of alien life, artificial intelligence, and military operations lies a thoughtful examination of humanity itself. By the final pages, Cape leaves readers with enough intrigue, uncertainty, and thematic depth to make the next installment difficult to resist. -- IndieReader Approved.
