Having completed the Humanity's Fire trilogy with the [[The Ascendant Starsby Michael Cobley|The Ascendant Stars]], I expected to go off and do something completely different. He didn't. In Ancestral Machines, we're back in the same universe. The Construct (an ancient AI on a mission) is still doing its best to protect sentient species, and the drone Rensik is still one of its key agents.
Sentient beings in the neighbourhood are going to need all the help they can get. Once upon a time - about fifty thousand years ago - there was the Great Harbour of Benevolent Harmony. Don't you just know that some mega-collaboration with a name like that was going to end badly. It ended, or at least the Construct thought it had, ''as the lair of several psychotic species hell-bent on slaughter, and was hunted down and destroyed...''.
