What it's about
In the year 2387, sixteen military and civilian installations go silent in under an hour. Elena "Nova" Reyes, pilot of the Seventh Fleet, watches the map go dark dot by dot and understands that the war has just changed shape.
Who Carlos Donoso is
Carlos Donoso is an independent writer from Cuenca, Ecuador. He started writing the Iron and Void Saga from one image: a pilot looking at a holomap as sixteen dots stop responding.
