The acclaimed Engines of Light series that began with COSMONAUT KEEP
and DARK LIGHT reaches its staggering conclusion in ENGINE CITY.
For ten thousand years the varied races of the Second Sphere lived

new regime of Nova Babylonia is certain it can withstand the alien
onslaught. Whether it can defend itself against Matt Cairns is a
question only the gods can answer ...
