The sequel to Cryogenesis and the second in the Tech Hunter series, the story of Warden takes place between a futuristic Earth in ruins and the expansive band of wreckage that orbits the planet. Baxel, a young and defiant explorer, ventures far beyond his people's orbit-locked settlement of Safe Harbor in search of undiscovered supplies or salvage. He instead finds something not seen for centuries: a series of Cryopods. After a prominent leader of Safe Harbor is found dead, it comes down to Baxel to find the connection between the Cryopods and the person manipulating Baxel's people to betray their own sacred ways. At the same time, a mysterious Sky Flare falls from orbit into the territory of Reclaim. The tech hunter, Kara, adamantly refuses to help Norclave in the perilous task of seeking out this object. However, when Norclave's Cryo becomes the target of an assassination, Kara vows to stop at nothing-not even the walls of Reclaim-to hunt down whoever is responsible. As Kara and Baxel seek out their own truths, they both find that the world is far larger than either had ever expected.

Cryogenesis is a dual narrative of discovery, shifting between the towering starscrapers of a futuristic Earth to the post-apocalyptic landscape of fallen super-cities. In the year 2994, Ambassador Jance Lor ge is nearly killed alongside her friend and colleague in a government cover-up. Jance then decides to turn against everything she holds dear and allies with Avery Thorne, a member of an elusive terrorist organization, to uncover the dark truth that ultimately leads her world to destruction. Six hundred years later and after the fall of Earth, a technician named Kenneth is pulled into a dangerous political struggle amongst the settlements within the ruins of Jance's world. He grudgingly accepts that his only chance of survival is joining with the distrusting tech hunter, Kara, in a race to retrieve an object frantically sought by all sides. What he uncovers, however, is far greater than forgotten technology of the past. As Jance's starscrapers begin to burn and Kenneth's hunt narrows within the titanic ruins, finding the connection between their discoveries might be the only thing that can save both of their worlds.
