Book description
The Intersolar Commonwealth is in turmoil as the Living Dream's
deadline for launching its Pilgrimage into the Void draws closer. Not
only is the Ocisen Empire fleet fast approaching on a mission of
genocide, but also an internecine war has broken out between the
post-human factions over the destiny of humanity. Countering the various
and increasingly desperate agents and factions is Paula Myo, a
ruthlessly single-minded investigator, beset by foes from her distant
past and colleagues of dubious allegiance...but she is fast losing a
race against time. At the heart of all this is Edeard the Waterwalker,
who once lived a long time ago deep inside the Void. He is the messiah
of Living Dream, and visions of his life are shared by, and inspire
billions of humans. It is his glorious, captivating story that is the
driving force behind Living Dream's Pilgrimage, a force that is too
strong to be thwarted. As Edeard nears his final victory the true nature
of the Void is finally revealed.
