Captain Gabriel Reinhardt’s latest mining mission has been brought to a halt by the arrival of a Worldbreaker, one of the vast alien machines that destroyed Earth and its solar system long ago. As he and his crew flee they are kidnapped by a pirate to be mind-wiped and sold into slavery, a fate worse than death in this shattered universe.
But Captain Reinhardt is hiding a secret. The real Gabriel Reinhardt died six years ago, and in his place is Jonas, one of the millions of clones produced for menial labour by the last descendants of Earth.
Forced to aid the pirate Keldra’s obsessive campaign against the Worldbreakers in exchange for his life, Jonas discovers that humanity’s last hope might just be found in the very machines that have destroyed it.

The fate of mankind has nothing to do with mankind …
Born of an angel and a daimon, Diago Alvarez is a singular
being in a country torn by a looming civil war and the spiritual struggle
between the forces of angels and daimons. With allegiance to no one but his
partner Miquel, he is content to simply live in Barcelona, caring only for the
man he loves and the music he makes. Yet, neither side is satisfied to
let him lead this domesticated life and, knowing they can’t get to him
directly, they do the one thing he’s always feared.
They go after Miquel.
Now, in order to save his lover’s life, he is forced by an
angel to perform a gruesome task: feed a child to the daimon Moloch in exchange
for a coin that will limit the extent of the world’s next war. The
mission is fraught with danger, the time he has to accomplish it is limited…and
the child he is to sacrifice is the son Diago never knew existed.
A lyrical tale in a world of music and magic, T. Frohock’s
IN MIDNIGHT’S SILENCE shows the lengths a man will go to save the people he
loves, and the sides he’ll choose when the sidelines are no longer an option.
