Book description
Archivist Luc Gabion has finally achieved his life's goal - of bringing
down Winchell Antonov, head of the Black Lotus terrorist organisation,
and the scourge of the Tian Di’s stellar empire for countless years. But
instead of feeling victorious, the encounter has left him scarred.
Forcibly implanted with a technology far in advance of anything he's
encountered before, Luc sees and hears things he knows he's not supposed
to. Worse, the technology is killing him, slowly. So when he finds
himself investigating the murder of one of the Tian Di’s ruling clique,
the Thousand Emperors, he knows he's in real trouble. Any one of them
could be the killer, and any one of them could have him put to death on
a whim. Worse, the dead man is the architect of the coming
Reunification: two great civilisations, separated for centuries by old
enmities, are about to reunite in a new age of peace and prosperity. But
it soon becomes clear that someone out there is willing to do anything
to make sure that day never comes... Gary Gibson, who has worked as a
graphic designer and magazine editor in his home town of Glasgow, began
writing at the age of fourteen. He lives in Glasgow.
His previous novels include the Shoal series with Dakota Merrick:
Stealing Light, Nova War and Empire of Light, and the first in the ....
Series Final Days.
