Book description
Michaelmas and Domino, man and computer, were linked to each other and
to the complete database of Earth. There they virtually ruled the world.
For by making the right subtle manipulations, they had the power to
change the course of human destiny. Then came the day they discovered
that someone - or something - was resurrecting the dead! And when
Astronaut Norwood, assumed killed in a shuttle crash, suddenly
reappeared, apparently willing and able to control a crucial exploratory
mission to the Outer Worlds. Michaelmas knew it was time to act - before
the unknown intruders had time to mastermind the doom of all mankind
