Description

The Arthur C. Clarke award-winning author of Children of Time brings us an extraordinary space opera about humanity on the brink of extinction, and how one man's discovery will save or destroy us all. The war is over, but its heroes have been forgotten. Idris, a man who has neither aged nor slept since they remade him in the war, now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, avoiding the attention of greater powers. After Earth was destroyed, mankind created a fighting elite to save their species, enhanced humans like Idris. In the silence of space, they could communicate, mind-to-mind, with the enemy. But their alien aggressors, the Architects, simply disappeared, and Idris and his kind became obsolete. Now, fifty years later, Idris and his crew have discovered something strange abandoned in space. It's clearly the work of the Architects, but are they returning? Idris and his crew must navigate a complex web of threats, from gangsters to cults and governments, to uncover the truth behind their discovery. For they now possess something of incalculable value, that many would kill to obtain.
