The Cosmoralian Empire has been infiltrated by machines and mankind’s only hope lies in the hands of twin heirs Prince Jimsa and sister Affle. They must save the Empire in time or technology will destroy all organic life.
Andromeda Stories explores the themes of man versus machine and the inescapable grip of destiny, concepts that would later be employed in films such as The Matrix and The Terminator.
“There’s a bracing fearlessness to the whole of Andromeda Stories, a genuine sense that the fate of a world
—or a universe—really does hang in the balance.”
