Fantasy & SciFi
When a human team is sent to scout a few hundred light-years in front of the death wave, it encounters a civilization far in advance of our own, a civilization of machine intelligences.
These sentient, intelligent machines have existed for eons and have survived earlier “death waves,” gamma-ray bursts from the core of the galaxy. They are totally self-sufficient, completely certain that the death wave cannot harm them, and utterly uninterested in helping to save other civilizations, whether organic or machine.
But now that the humans have discovered them, they refuse to allow them to leave their planet, reasoning that other humans will inevitably follow if they learn of their existence.

I found Survival to be the strongest,.most intelligent and interesting part of this series. Believable (and competent) characters. The hierarchical human social interactions with the alphas and sigmas is not overdone here. The aliens are done particularly well, I would say on par with Hamilton's MorningLightMountain or the Void in their alienness. The ending I found truly beautiful and inspiring!
