Summary

"Orphans of the Void" by Michael Shaara is a science fiction story where Captain Steffens and his team explore a faraway world, discovering old buildings left behind by the Makers, a super-smart group who disappeared after a big war. The crew finds robots still working, waiting for the Makers to come back, but they learn the sad truth: the Makers are gone for good, and their world is empty. Captain Steffens has to tell the robots this news and help them find a new reason to keep going, even though their world has been forever changed. This is a suspenseful and emotional journey and is a tale of discovery, loss, and the search for purpose in a lonely universe.
