Book description
Feeling itself to be failing, the Oversoul realises that it needs the
technology of the Lost Earth to achieve its aims. It has already caused
Nafai, a teenage boy, to commit murder ...
Nafai, his father and his brothers have left Basilica, but the rest of
his family remain there, including his mother, the influential Lady
Rasa. However, Rasa has other things on her mind, such as the 'friendly'
invasion of troops under the leadership of General Vozmuzhalnoy
Vozmozhno of Gorayni, who does not believe in any Gods, including the
Oversoul - although he may still be its unknowing instrument. Orson
