The Defectives

Author: Priest Translator: Xiao & Mu Editor: Rosmei Language: English

In a future where humanity is governed by the Eden System – a neural network designed to eliminate pain, worry, and sorrow – what becomes of those who cannot connect?

The Defectives (Can Ci Pin) takes us to the edge of the universe, where the "defective" outcasts of the Eighth Galaxy live in the shadows of a perfect society. When the peace of the stars is shattered by interstellar pirates and political conspiracies, an unlikely alliance forms between the displaced General Lin Jingheng and the idealistic, yet brilliant, Lu Bixing.

This sweeping space opera by legendary author Priest is a masterclass in world-building, blending high-stakes sci-fi action with deeply layered character growth. As Lin and Lu navigate a web of betrayal and hidden secrets, they must lead a band of misfits to reclaim their place in a world that has written them off. Experience a story where the bonds of found family and the resilience of the human spirit shine brighter than any star.
