The ancient menace has finally escaped from Lalonde, shattering the Confederation's peaceful existence. Those who succumbed to it have acquired godlike powers, but for now follow a far from divine gospel as they advance inexorably from world to world.
Governments teeter on the brink of anarchy, the Confederation Navy is dangerously over-stretched, and a dark messiah prepares to involve his own version of the final Night.
In such desperate times the last thing the galaxy needs is a new and terrifyingly powerful weapon. Yet Dr Alkad Mzu is determined to retrieve the Alchemist - so she can complete her thirty-year-old vendetta to slay a star. Which means Joshua Calvert has to find Dr Mzu and bring her back before the Alchemist can be reactivated.
But he's not alone in the chase, and there are people on both sides who have their own ideas about how to use the ultimate doomsday advice.

This book appealed to some deeper parts of my mind, parts that crave artificial expansion of the the mental shell, a way to reach out and touch the datasphere... and in this world, created from the multitude of possible futures, I found not one, but two ways that draw to me... if they develope that kind of technology, or get even close, in my lifetime... sign me up!
Overall, wow... another stunner, residing with it's kin, in the place of honour in my Libri Pluris.

What if the world around us is just a computer simulation? Could the dinosaurs have died in a nuclear war? Did hallucinogenic drugs make us human? What if we've already found extraterrestrial life?
Welcome to the curious scientific subculture of weird theories. Thoroughly bizarre and contrary to the established norm, these ideas are often vehemently rejected by the intellectual community. From the creation of the universe to the ... more...
